Thanks for being here friends! Every first Wednesday of each month, my friend Bella and I have a little coffee date together. Don’t forget to go and check out her post after reading mine. 🙂
If we met for coffee, I would first have to tell you about a new coffee company that I recently tried and am loving. It’s called Kicking Horse coffee and it’s soo good. I had been drinking Peet’s coffee for years before finding this one and decided to switch because it just started to lack the flavor that I previously loved about it. I then found Kicking Horse and I’m so glad I did because I’ve been enjoying it so much. Also speaking of coffee, I mentioned a few months back about how Tommy bought me a Nespresso for my birthday. I just got more Nespresso pods in the mail yesterday and I cannot wait because I am going to be making my own Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso now that it’s starting to warm up and I am so excited.
If we met for coffee, I would be really honest with you and say that I am not sure what to do with this blog anymore. I really enjoy having it and have been writing here off and on since 2015 but I seem to have lost direction with it. It used to be just a place of documenting my life and sharing what God is doing in it. With now having three little ones and homeschooling, my free time is very slim and long form writing takes a lot of mental energy that I’m not sure that I have. At the same time I’m not sure who is even reading this anymore (lol). If you are a regular reader of this blog, it would be tremendously helpful if you could either leave a comment here or email me ([email protected]) and share why you keep coming back and what you would like to see more of here. I want to be thinking through how exactly to share in this space that would be interesting to you guys. I’m also always wondering if maybe it may be time to close up this little space.
If we met for coffee, I would share how we are nearing the end of our first homeschool year and would tell you that we’ve had so much fun these past few months. When we first started homeschooling, I wasn’t sure how it was going to go. With virtually no experience with homeschooling at all, I didn’t know if I had it in me. I didn’t know if Shane would like it. I didn’t know if we would be able to find friends to be social with and that would also have been a dealbreaker. But I am pleasantly surprised that both Shane and I have really enjoyed learning together and we have found some friends from church who are also homeschooling that we’ve been meeting with each week. Everything has gone really well and I’m so thankful and hopeful for the future.
If we met for coffee, I would likely share how we have recently redid our dining room. We painted and bought all new furniture and it turned out amazing. It has given us so much extra space as well and I’m just so excited about it. Once it’s finished, maybe I will do a post about it. (Let me know if this would be something you would be interested in as well.) This is also the same room we do school in so it’s given a bit more excitement to the end of the school year as well.
If we met for coffee, I would probably excitedly share about how my Youtube channel recently reached 100 subscribers (!) and I would tell you about how much fun I’ve been having sharing over there. Over the years (as I’m sure you have noticed) I have been looking for a fun place to create online. Like I’ve mentioned, I’ve enjoyed sharing here but have felt unsure of how to share in this space. I feel like I’ve finally found something that I’ve really enjoyed creating in and a place I can share really consistently. I hope this post was not too rambley or all over the place, but that’s where my heart has been lately. Thanks for being here and listening to my rambley thoughts. It means a lot to me that you’re here.
