One Year, 9 Months and 26 Days...



That's how long it has been since my last post on this blog.   I always intended to come back to it but so much has changed in my life that the blog went to the end of the list.  So let me give you the short and sweet version to catch you up....I'll even make bullet points so it's an easy read:


~ I'm getting a divorce. 

~ My kids have gotten bigger!  A whole year, nine months and 26 days bigger!  Hailey is 12 now, Ella just celebrated her 11th birthday and Emidio is 7. 

~ I've learned that tweens are fresh, little boys talk about poop a lot and it's super uncool when I sing Taylor Swift in the car.

~ I'm still in The Yellow House, although projects have come to a halt with all the life changes.

~ I've gone from being a stay at home mom, blogger, decorator to working again.  I've had a couple jobs but that's a whole other blog post for a whole other time.  

~ I've learned that I'm the creative type through and through.  It's what inspires me, makes me smile and keeps me challenged.  And I've passed it on!   

~ I've also learned that dating is completely different in your 30's with kids than it is at 20 and carefree.  Not in a bad way though, life is pretty darn good.  My kids have adjusted well, I have a boyfriend that makes me happy and a supportive, amazing set of parents.  A girl could do worse!



  
Love these crazy kids!


 

So what will I post about now?   Food, clothes, craft projects, girly tween drama....I'm not sure, but what I do know is that it's good to be back.

I was a lurker of your blog previously. I love your style and your home. So sorry to hear that life has thrown you some curve balls, but glad to hear you are coming through. Amazing sometimes just how strong we can be. Nice to see you back.

You won't believe this but your blog was the first blog I ever read! I don't know how I ever found your blog. Then it seemed like you had to be invited to read your blog so I was out! How nice to
see that you are back! I am so glad you are happy even though I
don't know you I feel happy that you could share with your readers about your life. Divorce is a good thing sometimes, it was the best thing I ever did. Happy now with husband #2, hopefully the last one! Best wishes with all that you do for the next part of your life!
