The reality check has been cashed and SPENT

I'm sure it is no surprise to anyone reading this still that I have been cah-RAZY busy and absent lately.

I have a busy 14 year old who has recently grown up into a very helpful young lady with the kids.  However, there's only so much entertaining that big sister can do for a knowledge-hungry 4 year old boy and a whirling dirvish two-and-a-half girl. Then there is the 6 week old baby boy who loves loves LOVES to cuddle and be held by Momma. Allthetime. I am completely smitten with him, and you can find me wrapped around his precious little finger.

Consequently, I rarely get to sit down to the computer with two empty hands to do much more than my basic banking and the actual work that I do for the church. I'm dependent on my phone for any internet fun like Twitter or Facebook, and that is always on the run.

I am giving myself permission to stop pressuring myself about blogging. You can always find me on Twitter, Facebook, and more recently Instagram as lgossom.  I'm on Pinterest as well - pinning my hopes and dreams of a perfect house on the interweb ;)

I've been blogging for close to seven years now. I'm so thankful for every friend I have made and every acquaintance renewed through the community of blogging.  Social networking does not replace local friendships for me. I feel like it has enhanced my ability to listen and converse without judgement, and definitely I am a better person because of you. Yes, you!

It's a new season of life for me, one which I have long dreamed for. I'm excited about how our family has grown - and you have been there with us.  Thank you for all the memories!


Much love,
Liz

So, uh, is this a goodbye? Like, an "I'm closing down here" goodbye? If so, I get it. I support it. But I'm so glad you'll still be on Facebook from time to time. I would miss you. :)

I would miss you too! It's been a good run, but I think I have finished my course :) On to shorter but hopefully funnier content on Twitter and Facebook :)

It's a good thing I know how to get in touch with you besides through the internet! Keep sending pics. I love watching my grandbabies growing up.

Thank you - I am spread thinly enough among the children :)

That's definitely going to happen :)

Take a break from blogging, if you must. But please, please, please, when life offers the opportunity, continue to share it here!

Not deleting for sure! :)
