Aaaaaaaaaaaand we're back

What a doozy of a hiatus, yeah? I'm kinda back. We'll see. I'm going to try to commit to this. HA! What have I been up to? Well, it's been so long since I was on here, I had to look back at my last post to see what's been going on since then! Yikes. So here's the life update.

My last post was in November of 2016. 

E is now 3 years old. SAY WHA?!?! She's usually a happy little thing, full of live and "I WUV YOU"s and vim and vigor....with a dash of spice and sass. She does NOT take J's crap lying down, no sir. J is now in 1st grade, scaring all his teachers with his energy. G is in 6th grade and I THINK she's kicking butt. We shall see, I suppose. Husband has had a wretched, awful couple of years in farming and is currently one of the taller employees of a local pig farm. He's had several injuries from that, it's all fun. Concussions all around! 

In 2018 my FIL passed away, which was obviously and understandably a major shock to our family. My MIL ended up restarting her relationship with her high school sweetheart and moved to WV just about a month ago, and now my SIL and her fiance are moving into MIL's old house. We're still plugging away at our little fixer upper; E is about to move into a big girl bed and J is getting a Daddy-made loft bed. We're about to take in two kittens, Jamie and Morgan. 

I've been working on purging, redecorating and organizing my home and life, and have recently started two hobbies to that end: bullet journaling and listening to podcasts, specifically cleaning and minimalist decor-focused podcasts. I really, truly hope to keep up these blog posts and maybe come up with some cleaning tips for those who find themselves overwhelmed by stuff. Maybe in finding my own way, I could help someone else find theirs! So, after my zillionth reintroduction and own life overhaul....here we go!
