How Can I?

Welcome back!

How can I quit writing on this blog?  Over 800 posts and yet I haven’t written in over a month.  I know, I know. . . you know honestly here’s the deal, when you have as much on your plate as I do, frankly something slides off.  As of now, it’s been this blog, in the past it has been one thing or the other.  I can’t promise what it’ll be tomorrow, except it won’t ever be my God, my kids, or my husband.  Those things all stay on my plate no matter what.

I still want to write in this space, but right now . . . life seems to be getting in the way. . .

It’s work, which is going really well . . . the business of Creative VA Partner is really taking off.

My kids are with me 24/7, which I LOVE, but it is time consuming.

My house is a constant project, laundry, dishes, mess oh my!

What about you? What have you been up to?

An Update On Me

It is amazing how time flies. I haven’t blogged here in over a week and I didn’t even realize it had been that long. You see I had scheduled out my latest series on simplifying my life and ironically right after that my life got “busier”, not on purpose mind you, but that’s just life for ya huh?

Basically our lives right now are a whirlwind of last days of school, work (I’m thankful to have some new clients), baseball games and mealtimes. That’s what I feel like we do the most of, eat, play baseball, and work. At least that is what it seems like.

Nonetheless, things around here are constantly changing, and that’s ok that’s what keeps life interesting. I’m sorry I’ve seemed to neglect this blog. It wasn’t my intention. Be patient with me mmmkay?

I’m once again participating in OhhAmanda’s Top Ten Tuesday Today I’m making an announcement of sorts, and giving you the top 10 reasons for this new fun announcement and blog. You see I just started a new blog.  After several weeks of doing MUCH less online than I have done in years, thanks to “letting some things go”, I’ve as a result but searching for what God would have me to do online these days, besides blog here and write for just a couple of clients.

The answer seemed to creep up on me, at first I was pretty anxious about it, I even began to run from it, but the idea and thought kept creeping back up. So, here are the top 10 reasons why I am starting and soon to be “officially launching” a local blog for moms, grandmothers, parents and families in and around Carroll County, MS.

1.  I have officially been a resident of Carroll County for 10 years this summer.

2.  I want to become more involved in the community itself.

3.  My kids are reaching school age soon and I’d like to keep up with things locally for them.

4.  I love to write!

5.  I want to share deals and other fun things with other moms.

6.  There seems to be no such resource.

7.  Blogging is a huge stress release for me.

8.  It will be a great way to connect “locally” with other moms.

9.  I love projects!

10.  Social media is THE way to go for businesses and I want to show that to the local businesses in our area.

You can find the new LOCAL blog / online magazine at http://DeltaHillsMoms.com, it is a work in progress as it will not officially launch until Thursday, May 6, 2010 with an exciting National Mom’s Nite Out event hosted here locally at the Carrollton / North Carrollton Library, at 7:00 pm.
