I never thought this day would come. The journey seemed sooooo long and tiresome but I'm here to tell you we made it. Our youngest has finally graduated. NO MORE HOMESCHOOLING!!!Woo! Hoo! I know some of you Momma's are like, awe...aren't you going to miss it? Nope. No. Nadda. Not one bit. (here comes an honesty bomb) It's no secret that I did not enjoy homeschooling my children. We did it to protect them from the garbage that is in our schools and I do love my children but other than that, yuck! It's not my gift. Am I glad we did it? Yes. Would I do it again? *insert crickets chirping*. Ha! Ha!
So now you might ask, what will you do with all your extra time? I'm so glad you asked. Oh I got plans and I'm kinda excited about the new found freedom. In fact I'm starting out with a bang by making myself a Summer Bucket list that I'll be sharing Thursday. I used to do summer fun with the kids when they were younger but now that they don't need me like they used to I can be a little more selfish and plan some fun things for me to do this summer. I still believe in being intentional because I don't know if you've noticed but time goes by so much faster as you age.
One of those goals is to blog more again. I feel like I can devote a bit more time to it and I always enjoyed it as a kind of diary of my life. Not to mention the wonderful people I've met throughout the years. I know it's not as popular as it once was but I know that those that need to find me will find me and I'm not looking to go viral or be popular or even make money. I'm just going to do it for the pure enjoyment of it. :-)
I'm also trying to be more active on my Homesteaders Heart Instagram account. So if you are on Instagram, you can also find me there.
One of the fun things I want to start doing is What's Working for me Wednesday. I don't know about you but I learn a lot of new things on the internet. Some of them are actually handy and I want to start sharing some of the things that I really love or enjoy or things that I've learned that are actually useful. I know when I go to buy something, I like to read reviews and comments about said thing. So this is kinda my way of reviewing things I've been using for a while and genuinely like.
So there you have it. I've come out of hiding and I'm excited to see what's next.
Let me know you're still around and I'll make sure I come by and say hello!
HUGS,
Kim
Hi, Kim! I have popped by your blog periodically to see if you had posted anything, and today I was pleasantly surprised to see that you have. I remember with fondness our days together at Homestead Blogger and our beginning days here at Blogger. Blogging has changed so much, and I haven't liked the changes (too much emphasis on money and "growing your blog"), so I stopped blogging---at least publicly. But I miss my old blog friends, so I was glad to see that you are back at it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing up your homeschooling journey! Job well done! When I first met you, your youngest was 2 or 3, I think, and now, he's grown and finished with high school.
I seldom post on Instagram, but I do have an account, so I will follow you there.
Love,
Patti Gardner
