hi, friends

hi!

is anyone out there? man, i have to admit i've miserably failed at keeping up with any blogs lately. this little space kept getting strange comments on past posts so i went back - and as much as i loved reading past posts and seeing how far i've come in this mothering journey - there was a whole lot i didn't want to leave just hanging out there for anyone to see. i love being open and honest and sharing hard times so we know we're all in this beautiful struggle together, but there were posts on here that just didn't speak to who i am today or how i want to be seen. not in a don't look at my messy house way, but in a way that i would read past posts and feel that wasn't the tone i wanted to be adding to the internet. 

i think we're all learning, the further we get down this path of motherhood, that this isn't a one size fits all gig. i feel, especially recently, the internet world has made great progress in stressing the fact that even if we don't all make the same choices, no one is making the one right choice. no one is winning motherhood. no one is failing. everyone feels they aren't enough. and no one, absolutely no one, needs one extra space to feel anything short of a loving high five. 

so hi! i'm here! we're here!

i'm not pregnant. our house is still for sale. i'm still working two jobs. my kids are still growing way too much. we're still ridiculously blessed and are reminded of that daily. we still have big goals of simplifying our life. i'd love to share them as our journey unfolds. 

i've missed this teeny space and i've missed you. let me know how you're doing! xo
