I couldn’t wait to start writing about all our endeavors here on the farm. My daughters and I had big plans. Then life happened. Kate was so very sick this past winter and spring. We have been just trying to get her healthy again. I don’t know about you and your family, but this year has been the most illness I have ever seen.

So after beating myself up about, once again, not getting the projects done, I decided to just stop abusing myself. Sometimes we need to stop and take inventory of our lives. In our life, God is always first, family is second. BJ and I have had to make some very hard decisions. Ireland (16), Trinity (15) and Kate (7) are our priorities. Kate living with Down Syndrome and Autism is a priority in all our lives. She has changed our live in such amazing ways.

So I did get burned out. I felt like I needed a break and needed the break to be a healing for me. Leaving my family for five days to go to a Plexus Convention in Las Vegas with my sister Josie. Best thing I have done for myself in a long time. First of all it is nice to not be in crisis mode. Second it is wonderful to watch my sister do her wonders. I love Plexus and this trip even concreted that more.

So I guess this blog is going to be many things. I hope most of all it is an incentive to live and accept ourselves as we are or how we try to be! I’m so far from perfect, ask my in-laws, but I try to be kind and try to teach our children love and kindness. I hope you’re still on board for this new and hopefully improved blog. May God Bless you!
