Posting Again?

Well, it's been about a year since my last post here.  Yeah my kids keep me busy but that's not why I don't post, I'm just so self conscious about putting myself out there in the internet world.

But why not? Why should I be self conscious or scared as to what other people think?

So here I am again...let's make it last this time!

We are going through a new phase of our lives...for 1, my youngest will be 2 in November and nope I'm not pregnant.  It's weird...usually by this time in my other children's lives, I was expecting again. But that's ok, we are happy with our 4 wonderful babies and if we ever find ourselves blessed with a 5th well we will be happy about that too!

Another school year has come and gone, the boys final year in public school.  It's just not what it should be and well that's another post.  So this summer, after a short break, we will be starting up our homeschool routine again.  I'm excited and happy and scared.  My biggest short coming is I lack discipline and motivation.  Yes I can admit that, I really have to "suck it up" and put on my grown up pants and make it work.  We know this is what is best for our family and our children, it's just me..getting my act together.

We are also in another phase of life...paying off debt.  My husband is making, probably the lowest wage he's ever made in his working career, but we are patient and we know this is the best option for our family in today's world.  We can't focus on the lesser pay, we have to focus on what we can do with it instead.  We are blessed to live in the situation we do, even when it doesn't seem like it.  Unfortunately we don't know how long until we will have to move, so we are trying to focus on paying off our debt and living on a tight budget so that we can buy a house of our own.

So what does that mean for this blog? Well that means I'll be journaling about our experience with raising 4 kids, homeschooling, and budgeting/living below our measly means. I may start vlogging again on YouTube...not sure, if I do I will post the videos here as well. Hopefully sharing our journey will make us more accountable!

Until next time, thanks for stopping by!

Have a blessed day!
