Around Here

Posted on June 18, 2016 by Bonnie

It’s so quiet around here … on my blog, I mean … definitely not at home. My days are still mostly filled with medical appointments and therapies for our two little ones. I’m learning to navigate this world where parents of little ones with special needs live, and I’m trying desperately to find balance. It’s hard. I almost always feel like I need a nap. I consume a ridiculous amount of coffee.

In December, we moved to a house with a floor plan that works better for us, and we started a remodel of the new house as soon as we were in it. The construction felt like it was never ever going to end. I don’t even have words to express how thankful I am to have a finished house without strangers randomly appearing. We’re finally starting to actually settle in!

Our things have been finding their places in our new space. (I love decorating with vintage books!)

Cubby celebrated another birthday with us last month.

I sewed for a couple of Quilt Market booths. (I’ll share more pictures later!)

We’ve been spending time with family and doing a little bit of exploring.

I’ve finished a few projects …

… started a few projects …

… and planned a few projects.

I have a list of things to share here, starting with a fun and practical sewing tutorial on Monday. I hope to start blogging semi-regularly again – I really miss it – but this medical foster parent life is unpredictable. So, no promises this time. I’ll do the best that I can do.

    Seasons of life. We do the best we can as our priorities ebb and flow according to what we are called to do. And let’s face it one of the most important things we do is to help form the next generation. I applaud your bravery to step out and be a foster parent. Thank You
