To Sum Up the Past Year...




 I have to admit...when I saw Becky post about this link up, the first thing that went through my mind was, "What if I do this and nobody likes me?"  And then I remembered I wasn't in high school anymore.  I have been majorly slacking over here...sorry.  I have been babysitting everyday and then traveling to PA for Thanksgiving, so all I have been doing is catching up on everyone else's blogs instead of paying attention to mine.  Such is life...

So, what to talk about...

I originally started this blog to document my new life as a mother.  I talked about my birth story and how it went completely different than what I had planned.  I wrote about the hardships of adjusting, even giving new moms some advice.  Last year at this time, I was just returning back to work and having an incredibly difficult time doing so.  Time went on and I posted all about the new milestones my son reached and even a couple funny posts thrown in there too.  He recently turned one year old and we celebrated surfer style.  I am not working full time now (praise the Lord), but I am babysitting my niece and nephew an awful lot and probably will continue to do so for a while.

I have also posted about (unsuccessful) weight loss and a few DIY projects, but really the heart of this blog is to share my love of living.  Finding joy in each day.  Loving my husband, my son, my family, and every person on this earth that God created.  It just comes easily to me.  I hope that reading this blog leaves you with a smile.  Because smiling is fun.  And contagious.

XOXO, Jessica
