Bad Blogger!


I've been a very bad blogger the last few months. Not only do I keep coming back and promising to post more regularly, but then don't, I wasn't even that concerned about my false promises and absence.

I really and truly am sorry for that, but just to let you know kind of what's been going on I'm posting today along with some previews of posts to come.

Well, I was seriously busy after the birth of our fourth child, but I've also had some continuing health issues that started after the birth of my third child two years ago. I knew that some of it could be helped with some physical therapy, but the biggest issue would require eventual surgery.

Well, that surgery wasn't as eventual as I had hoped. I ended up having some severely and physically restricting pain that led to me having the surgery a few weeks back. I'm doing well, and just got clearance from my doctor to lift the baby again (Hooray!!! That was the hardest for me.) and I will have about a 4-5" scar, but hey, now things should get back to normal again around here.....just in time for holiday madness, lol. I am so glad to be done with the surgery and now am just trying to focus on healing and savoring every moment with my family.

I have some new series and topics for upcoming posts and have several posts in the works already. So, look forward to some holiday surprises coming up and more sewing, vintage mama posts, and a birthday giveaway set up for later this month. 

The girls and me! Sweet baby Emeline Joy and my oldest daughter. 
Thanks for sticking with me in spite of my absence and I can't wait to jump back into the blogging world again!
