Blogs are pretty ace

Have you ever sat down and read through all your past blog posts?

I've just done that very thing.

It has made me feel so grateful that I started blogging.

I have been able to look back on the past 2 years and see my children grow and change, see the changes happening in our home, and remember all the good times and fun things we've done.

Sadly I could also see the part of me that struggled through a fair chunk of the last year. I remember trying so hard to focus on the good things that were happening, while feeling like I was being

swallowed up by my own misery.

A few things happened that made me feel that way, which I won't go into, but they are things that are now well and truly over. I actually feel like I'm reading the words of someone else, and I feel sorry for them.

I feel so far away from that time now, I am so much happier!

While reading through my posts I had a good laugh! Not to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty funny!

I picked out a few photos that I want to re-share, because good photos deserve to be looked at over and over again.

Have you ever reminisced through your old blog posts?

1. A rad cross stitch pattern

2. That great feeling of a fire on a chilly spring night

3. The driveway is as good of a place as any to relax with the cat isn't it?

4. A simple vignette with new and old things
