Yeah, I'm talking about this here space. The blog has been on the back burner for quite a while to allow me to take some much needed time away to focus on exciting stuff in our personal lives. God's throwing a lot of changes our way, for the better, and I've just been soaking it all in, away from the computer. I hope you don't mind. While I've been away, here's what I've been thinking about, praying about, and focusing my time on:
Our next home.
We're moving next month, but we have no idea where. It's weird, because I'm totally at peace about the entire situation. God's been present and so clear during this house hunting process. We've looked at several awesome houses that we've wondered about being "the one," and I feel like God has continuously given us very clear answers. It's been quite relieving, actually, knowing that we're hearing from Him right now. I think once we find our home, He'll make it clear that it's for us. I'm just hoping that the time comes soon! We're pretty sure we have our exact location figured out, and that's been quite exciting. We've been spending a lot of time in the area checking out everything it has to offer, and dreaming about getting to raise our children there soon.
Baby #3.
Promise you won't be annoyed if I brag for a tiny, tiny bit? This baby has been so nice to its mama during her first trimester. You guys, I have had almost no sickness during this pregnancy! I sometimes wonder if God just knew I wouldn't be able to handle morning sickness on top of house showings, keeping the house clean, and wrangling two toddlers during the winter months. I'm really not sure how I would have been able to get through all of that while being sick. I haven't had much time to pray and think about this little one because of everything else going on right now, so I'm really looking forward to more relaxing moments this summer when we're settled into a new home. I'm also looking forward to dressing this bump.
Life with toddlers.
These children are growing like weeds. We're celebrating their birthdays this weekend with family, and it's crazy to believe that I'll be a mom of a three and two year old. We're talking about potty training Chia, and thinking of putting them both in twin size beds when we move into our new home. It's bittersweet, but I'm really excited for this next stage of their lives. Both of them are becoming such smart, independent, strong-willed, stubborn, hilarious kids, and I'm seeing them shape me into a better person. Parenthood is hard, people. But, the sacrifices and struggles we go through to raise our kids is so worth it. Lucia and Josiah have taught me the importance of family and what truly matters in life.
My handmade business.
Pardon my ambiguity here, but I can't share much about this quite yet. Just know that God is changing the direction of my business and where He wants me to use my gifts. I might be able to share more in a couple of months, but for right now, just be excited for me and know that God has a pretty awesome plan in store. I'll be using my free time to try some new things and see where it takes me. Prayers appreciated!
I hope all of you have a great week! Also, if you're a new mom or expecting mother, stay tuned for a fun review I've been cooking up with an awesome brand this week!
