I think knowing where we came from, it's really fun to see where we are now especially since our lives can be so different and yet, so similar...

We just love your beautiful family and your dedication to your marriage, your little ones and your faith. More young women and young moms need to hear messages of hope and beauty in regards to motherhood, parenthood and family life. And no, not every moment as a mother is all rainbows and butterflies. Comparing our lives and struggles with others can be so destructive. Being grateful for our blessings honors the Creator who delights in our devotion to our vocation as parents. Hold tight to those precious babies, because pretty soon they'll be going to the Homecoming Dance and you just won't believe it. It's so wild and wonderful being a parent, especially when you get to partner with someone you absolutely adore!

It was a little confusing doing it, had to go to the help forums and get steps on how to do it, which I have forgotten. I'm pretty sure though if you have followers through the sign up option on your blog you can go into setting and remove them if need be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11123990656738153464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981917.post-2491425280913457042014-11-05T06:19:52.377-08:002014-11-05T06:19:52.377-08:00Oh my word, thank you SO MUCH for these words!

I will be praying for you and your journey and for the calmer and more peaceful heart you desire. :) <br /><br />And crazy reader action, yikes! How did you block someone from your blog? Enquiring minds what to know!!<br /><br />PS: you keep blogging too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08570812813078461156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981917.post-82748360789190378582014-11-04T07:10:14.268-08:002014-11-04T07:10:14.268-08:00Oh I feel your pain! I was an every day blogger, ...Oh I feel your pain! I was an every day blogger, but now only post 2 to 3 times a week (if that) and feel the pressure to post more, but there are more important things. For me it all comes down to two things: 1. I like writing and I get enough feedback from readers that it keeps me going 2. I love that there I this amazing online journal of our life and when Mark and I are gone some day Sky will have it still. <br /><br />On a personal level I love your blog, and every post you have done. Your honesty has helped me focus on what's important and served as reminders as to what kind of person, wife, and mother I want to be. <br /><br />Your faith and your wiliness to share it has really helped me through some dark spiritual times. I grew up in a very Closed off faith that was not open to "outsiders" and when I decided it wasn't for me at 24 I also turned my back on religion/faith of any kind. I thought I needed a clean break from all of it to reset. I have yet to rejoin organized religion, but your posts (and the fact that your faith shines from within no matter what you are doing) has helped me turn to my bible, and prayer once again. I don't know where my journey to find my faith will take me but thanks to you I have a bit more of it in my life, and a calmer more peaceful heart. <br /><br />I don't say any of that to try and sway you one way or the other, more to let you know that you have made a difference, and to thank you! <br /><br />BTW - I totally get the crazy people seeing things about you/ your family...I had a reader go purchase a pair of compression running tights after I reviewed them and then sent me a pic of his junk in the pant to see if I thought the pants fit ok. Needless to say I blocked him from my blog!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11123990656738153464noreply@blogger.com
