Hello, blog.

I just need to be honest. I’ve been debating on making my blog private but at the same time I’ve “met” so many great friends and other mama’s that I never would have “met” if it had not have been for the blog world. And I love to keep up with my “in real friends” blogs and their sweet babies. 

So, for now I will keep this blog public but who knows it might just end up private sooner than later.

We’ve been so busy I don’t even know where to start and catch up on here. I’m sure everyone else can relate with the holidays and traveling and then it was like BAM! 2011 has arrived!

 I felt like the year ended with no warning and I really enjoyed 2010 and would love to do it all over again, yes, I even mean the time period when P was a newborn screaming his head off and we walked around the house for hours holding a hair dryer for noise until we found the perfect noise machine.

So, now I’ve decided to embrace 2011 with open arms. 

Of course, I do realize that January is already half way over and I’ve just now

 come to terms with the fact that it’s a new year, but I’ve done this on my time.

2010 was a year that I learned even more about my strength, my mistakes, my fears, my body, my creativity, my giving and needing, and seeing something or someone for who they truly are. 

I learned most of all about motherhood and I know there will be many, many more years of this 

but 2010 showed me not to mistake predictability for peace because

 some of life’s most important moments are born of chaos.

There’s an ocean of need out there and I know the Lord has prepared me to give myself this year.

Hello, 2011. It’s nice to meet you.
