Wow! I honestly can not remember the last time I sat down and wrote a blog. It has been way overdo! I remember when I first decided to start a blog all those years ago not really thinking anything would come of it. I wanted to blog because I had my first child and quite frankly I felt like every book I picked up really sugar coated how motherhood was. It is not all sunshine and rainbows. It was/is rough. So I thought I would write down my experience for that one person who may come across my blog to read and possibly relate.
Throughout the years things have changed yet, stayed the same. I have continued to share stories of motherhood, life in general, various products I’ve used, and also talking about more personal aspects of life including my struggles with depression and anxiety.
Whenever I sat down to write I wasn’t sure if anyone would actually want to read what I wrote but I was pretty shocked by the response from various individuals. Whether it was someone who would message me about how their child too struggles with potty training and is in the thick of things but could relate to what I wrote. Or a new mother who because of what I have written had the courage to talk to their doctor about Postpartum Depression. Ive had companies reach out to sponsor posts or even ghost write because they want to share something with my audience. I was even nominated for an award!
It is crazy to me everything this little blog has done, and I have very much missed writing about life. I do hope to start again because I have some stories to share and things I don’t want to forget about life. Another added bonus about this blog the stories (especially of my kids) that I can reread for years to come, and they can read too once they can read!
Unfortunately, my hiatus was due to being hacked. I am not sure who in their right mind would want to hack a “mommy blog” but okay good for you? I like to think they enjoyed reading about mom struggles, and postpartum issues, and maybe somehow my blogged helped them? Probably not, but I’ll keep my rose colored glasses on and pretend! Thankfully I have an amazing computer wiz brother who somehow got my blog back to its original awesomeness and I am so grateful for that.
Moving on, for those that have met me IRL (that’s why the kids are saying right haha meaning in real life) I am the type of person that struggles with face to face communication. Im going to be straight with anyone who reads this its tough for me because I don’t want to say the wrong thing, and at the same time I don’t want to overshare. Which both those are bound to happen when I don’t know what to do. Plus, I find that I’m funnier via blog then In real life. Supposedly, at times I have one of those faces that says “don’t talk to me, I’m figuring out every exit out of this store, and how to hurt someone while only using my pinky finger so I can evade any and all situations” but that’s just hearsay.Ive used this blog to get my feelings a crossed and its been so therapeutic. Its why I started this whole journey to begin with.
Some updates in life since I last wrote, my Per diem nursing job closed down during camp last summer, that’s a story for itself. I Started at a new gym and love it! Also got my dream car, Jeep Wrangler two years ago. And of course, we got a puppy last year a golden retriever named Tucker. He is over a year old and crazy! I do not remember the puppy stage with Jake but wow the energy this dog has is crazy. The kids are of course growing like weeds, and I have plenty of fun stories to share in the upcoming weeks!
Moving on with the blog I used to post on Wednesdays and I plan to again. Not every Wednesday but hopefully twice a month during the summer and we will see about the rest of the year. Obviously, I am posting this on a Thursday but I am so excited to start writing and posting again now that its fixed! Just to give a heads up next week I am posting my hysterectomy story so be forewarned! I look forward to posting again so be on the lookout!
