Just a reminder of my New blog

Just a reminder, for those that didn't know I had another blog.

Just updated and the topic of this week is "Getting on a Routine"

Comments

Chris,

I just read your comments on Natalie's blog and I have to tell you what a relief it was to me to see that someone believes EXACTLY the same way I do about QF.

You explained it exactly the way I would have. I appreciate your bravery in doing that.

I too, feel like my body needs a break. I have had 6 children in 10 years. My hips and pelvis are shot right now. My doctor says that if I have another baby I am risking permanent injury if I don't already have it. My children need a mother who can run, play and just plain old walk with them. They need a mom who is not constantly sleep-deprived (I have horrible insominia when I am pregnant).

We do not believe it taking permanent measures, but there are other ways and we feel a peace about them.

I think God gives us grace in this area, and I am not feeling tortured in my soul for having made this decision with my hubby. I have never had peace about not having more children until now.

If God wants us to get pregnant, he will allow that to happen since we are not being as "careful" as other people. I would joyfully except another blessing, but remain content if he does not.

Thank you so much for posting! Stop by my blog, you might be encouraged!

Thanksgiving at home: First time in 18 years

Let's just say that we didn't plan to spend Thanksgiving at home this year. I think the last time we celebrated in our own home was back when Moriah was a baby. Yeah...that's about 18 years ago or so. Let me tell you....W e absolutely loved it! Here's a little run down on how our plans were miscommunicated. You see...Donnie and I didn't communicate our Thanksgiving plans very well this year. He had forgotten that we had spent Thanksgiving with his side of the family last year so that meant it was time to drive up to Jacksonville and spend time with my side of the family. With not much talk of our T hanksgiving plans, I hear from the kids that he t old brother or dad not sure who that we would be heading down to see them Thanksgiving. This conversation happened just a few weeks before Thanksgiving. Kids: Hey where are we going for Thanksgiving this year? Me: Ummm....I think it's Jax. One of the kids: I thi

Stop the Rush

Since returning to blogging, I'm finding some drafts lost in the archives of this ole' blog. It's interesting to read and think about the day, time, year....when I wrote this specific post. What was I feeling? What was I thinking? This specific post was drafted on March of 2016...Ana was around 7 years old. That was almost 5 years ago! This sweet little girl turned 12 last week. As I read through the post, I remember that feeling of "rushing", a lot of it was in my mind but I also was rushing...kids to school, boys doing some sort of sport, Ana was taking dance, helping kids with homework, no need to go on. You get my point. This was 5 years ago! This was a year before we left our town Gainesville, Florida to explore the United States and Mexico. A lot has changed since then and looking forward to catching you all up on everything. So here we go... Most of the time I find myself barely living in the moment. That's if I don't purposely try to liv
