Since I last posted! Baby #2 is on the way in late April/early May (25 weeks, woo-hoo!). DH and I have gone through several up and down swings, currently back on an upswing. I’m becoming much more comfortable with being an at-home mom for this season of life. DD is an immense joy to watch as she learns about the world and becomes her own little person. That’s good, since she’s quickly approaching 2 and the strong will is emerging as well!
I discovered that I really enjoy both gardening and cooking, and have been trying to use both to help stretch our budget as far as it will go. I picked up knitting again last fall after 15+ years without touching yarn and needles ~ it feels good to work creatively again.
I continue to struggle with diligence in my faith life and housekeeping ~ somehow the call of other things beckons. And I struggle with how much of myself to reveal to different audiences ~ those in real life sometimes see different sides of me than those through the keyboard. Searching for authenticity, a way to not categorize myself based on who I’m around.
