New

I have a new...

• blog header! Subscribers, click through to see!

• perspective on motherhood: some days are bad, most days are good, every day is gift from God

• blog in my reader, called Jumping Tandem, by a woman who has been married for 25 years, has two adult children and lives on the East Coast. I intend to learn much from her.

• Heaven and a New Earth in my future, to remind me that my time in this world is short

• desire for real relationships. As such, I've removed Facebook from my phone. I am hoping that it will lead me to call or text some friends for real conversations more often. {I'm not completely off the grid... just quieter there}

• appreciation for work-at-home mamas. I had the opportunity to do some freelance work for the Community for Youth auction this month, and I am exhausted! It is hard to head for the computer every time Susanna is sleeping or occupied.

• collection of books on my Nook, including Chris Bohjalian's The Law of Similars. I love Chris Bohjalian so much.

I need a new...

• plan for working out. I try to go to the gym three times a week, so I can work out and get a good hour or so away from Susanna {our gym has daycare}. But I am bad at it.

• attitude about support-raising. It's hard, but it's God who does the actual work.

• wardrobe. I have a different body than the one I had before Susanna came along.

• something to honor my baby girl and/or make me look pretty {hint}

• idea for a blog series. Any ideas?
