Hello Monday!

Hello Monday Everyone! 
 
 I'm linking up with Lisa over at Lisa Leonard Designs today, come join us!
 
There is a chill in the air and the leaves are starting to turn.  The warm sunshine and cool breeze is just what we need around here and it makes us ready for Autumn.

It was a crazy fast weekend and I am not sure that I am ready for another week yet, but oh well, how about some hellos for the week?

Hello big mug of coffee.  You will wake me up this morning and carry me through the hustle and bustle of the day. 

Hello drizzle outside my window... Fall really is coming... YAY!

Hello back to school, back to the schedule, back to busyness... Madison to preschool in the morning, Shawn to Kindergarten in the afternoons... Lauren just tags along and loves every minute of it.  I am really enjoying our schedule, I get time with each child in their own realm of greatness.  It is amazing how children blossom when they don't have their brothers and sisters around.

Hello Cross Country season.  We are at full go and our teams are working hard and doing great.  I love being part of it, it makes me feel like I am contributing to something that our athletes will carry with them all of their lives.

Hello moving boxes!  October will be here before we know it and we will be moving to our new house and have the space that my husband and I have dreamed of for oh so long now.  In the neighborhood I grew up in.  What could be better than that? Just perfect!

Hello birthdays!  Shawn will be 6 on the 25th and Madison 4 on the 19th of October.  YIKES!  Big kids!  Really, where does time go?

Hello new school year, new drive to be better, work harder, get involved more...

Hello today... We are so thankful for you, no matter what you bring us...

I hope yours is great!  Come on over and link up with us! 
 
Have a great one! 
 
Lisa

Honesty

When I decided that I was going to put blogging into my back pocket for a while I didn't really tell anyone I was doing it.  I honestly didn't think that anyone would care, because I live a simple busy life with not a lot to talk about.  I am not the type of blogger who works towards getting as many followers as I can or puts out giveaways just so that people follow me... When I began reading blogs it was because I felt connected to the writers not the giveaways or all of the other fluff.  For goodness sakes I don't even have a face book page and I hope I don't offend anyone.

The idea behind my blog was to get my business running.  Not so much luck!  But I have noticed something since I was gone... My family and friends wanted to know what happened.  What I didn't realize was that my blog was a way for them to stay connected to what was happening in our everyday lives.  So, I am back at it again with out the pressure of making it my priority.  I have three VERY busy little ones who often consume my energy and time.  My goals are different this time and I have a new outlook on this little blog of mine...

I do hope you tag along...
