I started this blog WAY back in 2010. Honestly I was in a much different space than I am now. A lot has changed in those (almost) eight years but some things have stayed the same...

I’m still a mom. I’m still prone to overthinking. I’m still likely to doubt whether anyone is really interested in what I have to say. I’m still a Midwest girl. I still adore road trips, coffee shops, knitting, and deep conversations about the stuff that really matters. I’m still ferociously protective of those I love. I’m still doing the solo parenting gig.

So, what’s changed?

I’ve gotten serious about rediscovering my well-being. I homeschool my daughter (three years in, with a rising junior 😱.) I’ve decided to open myself up and risk vulnerability in the event that my words, experiences, and outlook can bring blessings to someone else.  I’ve moved out of the little-kid parenting and (well) into the teen years — no, I’m still not sure where all of those days went!

As this blog takes shape, I’m not really certain what it will become. My hope is that it really does become a place of blessing, understanding, and shared experience.
