Welcome to my new blog! As some of you know, I had another blog for
several years called "Always Thinking Too Much." I took that blog down
the day after Christmas 2011. It is a very long, painful story, but here's the Reader's Digest Condensed version: Because someone in my family (not someone I am close to, mind you) felt
as if I was indeed thinking too much and sharing too
much, and that I was bringing shame to her and our family, I prayerfully made the decision to discontinue the blog and to take a
breather from this crazy, everything-can-be-taken-the-wrong-way world
of electronic media. While it was all very painful to hear, painful to deal
with, and painful to trudge through, I now see it as a truly great blessing.
It made me switch gears with my writing. God has provided so many opportunities for me since I took down my last blog. Two of my articles, one about homeschooling and one about foster parenting, were even published in two national magazines! Woot!

And
during that transition time, I was also able to really rethink and pray
about this thing called blogging. I am now taking a fresh start with a
fresh spirit and I am so glad you decided to join me for this journey!
This blog will focus much more on how homeschooling my youngest is teaching me a whole bunch of funny life lessons. In addition, I will be including reviews of some of my favorite and not-so-favorite homeschooling curriculum. I will share some of my favorite blog posts from my previous blog (the ones that hopefully won't hurt anyone's feelings) and finally, with new eyes and a new perspective, I will continue to share the daily stories and devotions that paint the beautiful picture of God's amazing grace and mercy in my life.
