Looking Back

July 13, 2011 -- And here we are now...

I'm pretty sure I said nothing of any importance in this post. I was still pretty new to blogging and I just wanted to write. I wasn't really sure where I was going with all this but I just wanted to write about something since the wedding was just under a month done and I think I was alone with Rob gone on annual training with the Marines and I just wanted to write about what life was like then. 




This was when I was learning how to cook. And I wasn't great at it. Look at that plate it is anything but pretty which isn't the most important thing but really rather it wasn't that delicious. But I had to start somewhere and I have really come so far since those early years. 


July 12, 2013 -- Believe It or Not


Truthfully I don't even care what first-time mom stuff I was talking about - something about her being strong enough to stand there and look out. I just care about how at how adorable my chunky girl is. It's hard to believe that that same girl is 7, turning 8 in October now. That feels like so much longer than 6 years.


July 14, 2014 -- Last Week in Photographs


If that girl doesn't look like Emma then...clearly it's Addison. This post was all about spending out week of summer out and about. We went swimming, we went to Crown Center, we went to Deanna Rose and we went to a Royals game. It almost made me sad to see this post now because that stuff definitely isn't happening right now. 


July 13, 2015 -- Around the House


This was a post all about things we did around the house. It's kind of cool to look back at this post because these are all things around the old house. That also feels like a lifetime ago since we have been in our current house since summer 2017. I have happy feelings about the old house because it was our first house and it was house that we brought our two oldest home to, but in general I adore our current house so much more because this house is the perfect house for our family. 




I think the series Every Day Conversations are some of my favorite. I love writing how the hilarious things my kids say. At this post Addison was in such a funny age - an age that Connor is currently in. Kids never fail to make you laugh because they are honest and open and just say things that come into their head, no filter. 




This was our second year going to the beach and look at that Connor! This was the first year in many years that we didn't go because we didn't feel comfortable traveling with three small kids many states for the beach in light of all the things going on. So we did and it was sad but hopefully things will level out and we plan to return next year. 




I have shared about my bullet journal on and off - more off lately. But in all fairness I haven't shared too much of anything lately. This post was about sharing what my bullet journal looked like during the months of May and June of 2018. I think it's fun to still go back and look at my bullet journals because life has changed so much (not just because of COVID) and my planning style has definitely changed over the years. 




I was sharing my currently. I do this every season because often they change so much. And on this day I was sharing my current thoughts.


And there you have it. That's what the last 9 years have looked like and how my blogging style but also what I write about has changed. I have always been all about family and sharing our life, good and bad. But lately I haven't felt much like writing. As we have all felt the heaviness of this whole situation, my anxiety has been very high so my focus has been on the kids and my business, so sometimes my blog is a bit lacking. I want to say that when the kids go back to school things will settle and maybe I'll write more,but any parent will attest to the fact that we have no idea how school is going to go this year. But for now we are trying to just soak up and get through out last month before school starts (hard to believe) and then we will just take one day at a time.
