Time to write

I thought with everything going on or alternately no going on, that I would have a ton of time to write more.  That I would be able to start chronicling my family journey again.  But it seems that's not the case.

I started a nonprofit 2 years ago and oddly enough this down time has been the best for not doing anything but working on that.  Working on new campaigns for social media.  Making new contacts.  All of that fun stuff.

So now I'm busy and the kid is taking life at home in stride and yet, I want to write.

I want to write about our life, our schooling, our future family plans.  I want to outline everything we've been doing.  Everything we plan to do.

I want to show off pictures of our garden and how we are making progress on redoing it all.  I want to talk about everyone being home 24/7 and how that is making our relationships stronger but also making us all a little touchy about silly little things that don't really matter.

But instead I open this page and I don't write.  Because how can I say it all but do it all justice?

Slowly but surely I'm working on coming back and making this space my own again.

I know you are here for the parenting life, and that's gonna come back soon.

Just have to find the new normal and balance.

Balance.

2 years

It's been almost two years since my last post.  And so much has changed, and yet nothing has changed at all.

I've decided to pick back up writing.  I miss it.  I miss writing about parenting and right now we are parenting in such a unique and historic time in the world.  I want to document this.  If nothing else, than for my child.

I want her to see that her papa wrote about what was going on.  About what her childhood was like during this time.

So here we are again.  Going to dust off the old spell checker, and notoriously get half the words wrong anyways, and get back to writing.  Get back to documenting my family, my life, my child, and all that comes with it.

This is more for me than anyone, but you are welcome to continue along the journey with me.
