I can’t believe the summer is almost over. There wasn’t nearly enough pool days or picnics. Instead our summer was filled with ER visits and lots of family healing time. My husband and I joked that our new date spot was the doctor’s waiting room.The summer may have flown by but I’m anxiously awaiting the calmness of Fall.
We are in the midst of transitioning from homeschooling to public school. While there is a bit of anxiety mixed in, overall we are very excited for this new adventure. I’m working on a fun surprise, thanks to Family Christian, to bless my kids with on day one.
I am excited to get back to these weekly linkups and reading all about how you are finding joy in the everyday. Two new bloggers have joined me in co-hosting every Wednesday. What that means for you is more shares, more interaction, and more love. If you are interested in being added as a co-host just let me know.
Here’s what I’ve been up to since our last link up
