Why Did I Stop Blogging?

Jane Says it was because my blog lost traffic when it became a Sydney's Mom blog. regardless of the reason, February 2016 was the clear "end" to daily blogging. After reviewing some blogs from 2008-2012 last night, I am really pissed I stopped. I have the greatest stories about Sydney's first 7 years, Brooke's first five, and nothing from 7-15 and 5-13. Looking at the early details, I am so glad that I have them. 

Another thing I noticed is that, at some point, I stopped dressing up. I wonder why? Regardless,  I am vowing to start regularly blogging again, even if it isn't daily.

I headed into the bathroom

In the jungle outside of Puerta Vallarta and was surprised to find an amusing sign. Well done Vallerta Adventures.

Is This Blog Dead?

I have blogged since September 2006. I love my blog but I am having challenges with my blogging app and subsequently I find that I only like the blog if I blog from my PC and it frustrates me. Then I get behind....and when I get behind I truly want to catch up. Good grief, I didn't even get Brooke's birthday blogged this year. I had 3 posts in February.......my lowest month before that was once when I had 19. Somethings got to change, thats all I have to say. The question of the day, do I go back and blog February or do we just have a bad start of the year and I pick it up from here?

December Theme Song

At the Global Leadership Summit this summer Bill Hybels stated that sometimes he will listen to the same song over and over and over, sometimes 20-30 times in a row. This is what I find myself doing lately with Oceans. It's so beautiful and comforting if you haven't downloaded Oceans by Hillsong, you should.

"Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)"

You call me out upon the waters

The great unknown where feet may fail

And there I find You in the mystery

In oceans deep

My faith will stand

And I will call upon Your name

And keep my eyes above the waves

When oceans rise

My soul will rest in Your embrace

For I am Yours and You are mine

Your grace abounds in deepest waters

Your sovereign hand

Will be my guide

Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me

You've never failed and You won't start now

So I will call upon Your name

And keep my eyes above the waves

When oceans rise

My soul will rest in Your embrace

For I am Yours and You are mine

Traveling With Boots

I haven't worn these boots with the heel since last winter and it wasn't until I was getting ready to go through security that I remembered they would alarm and I would need to take them off. #wasntworriedaboutmysocksat5am
