Hello to everyone still hanging on and I see I've even gained a few new followers in my long absence. I never had any intention to stop blogging, but with surgery recovery became a new focus and blogging got less and less important. Then, of course, sewing did too, and with no progress, there's not much to blog about. :)
And then I just got out of the habit of coming to this space to talk with you all...
But I'm back. I took the time today to sit down and write. To say hello. To assure everyone that doesn't follow me on instagram that I am alright. I am mostly healed from my surgery and have been given the "ok" to resume normal life. Exercise is still SLOW GOING and it's frustrating, but I do not wake up with back pain every morning. I can stand for hours without my back aching and in turn my legs and feet. I feel like a new woman--an out of shape woman, but still. :)
We've been busy since I last posted. There's been LOTS of softball and lots of karate. There's been many hours spent driving back and forth between the two. There's been hours of PTO stuff--book fair, coffee bars, testing fun days... There's been proud Mama moments of field days, awards ceremonies, district softball wins, karate accomplishments. There's been summer schedule adjustments with more swimming and less packing of lunches.
Like I said, we've been busy.
But I want to be busy here as well, with y'all. So to thank you for sticking around, I want to give something away. How's an etsy gift card sound? That way, whatever it is that strikes your fancy can be yours and we're not limited to fabric or yarn or whatever else...
Just leave a comment here telling me what you're up to this summer and I'll randomly draw a winner this weekend. Em's in the state tournament this weekend, so it'll probably be Sunday before I draw and Monday before I announce. That's almost a week to get entered. :)
