This is a blog I started because I thought I had something to say. I don’t really, but it was fun to do. I am first and foremost a mom–of one dedicated soccer-playing teen and of one adorable too quickly maturing tween. I’m a newlywed (well, relatively) and an ex-wife.
I’ve learned my lessons the hard way and thought I’d share some of hard-won knowledge with everyone. I’ve met some really awesome people and enjoyed it immensely.
So, how did people find my blog the most last year? You might think I’d show up more in soccer-related searches, specifically soccer mom ones. Nope … by far most people found me by searching “Tiffany box” — which was my Christmas present in 2010 from DH. He knows I love that Tiffany blue!! What girl wouldn’t?
I just wanted to share that tidbit with you before I share this one: I’m closing shop. I just can’t keep up with this and the launch of the photography business, as well as my full-time gig at the newspaper/magazines–on top of being a mom, wife, daughter, sister and friend. Things are just suffering (as evidenced by my being sick for the first time in two years, I’d say).
Thanks for all the lessons you’ve taught me over the past year and a half. Last year was a rough one for me, and one where I underwent quite a transformation. I realize now that I’m content. I’m happy. I’m comfortable. I’m secure. And I don’t have much else to say–though without fail I will continue to grow.
But I’ll miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(ok, I know there’s facebook and all, but still….)
I will miss you very much. You inspired me to write and blog and now to take pictures (though I seriously doubt I will do anything professional with it). I am thrilled that things are going much better for you and that you are in a good place. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
I am really going to miss you bab. I have loved every blog you have written. I enjoyed seeing the kids playing soccer and all of you beautifu pictures of the kids, wildlife and different scenes of the past and present. I am so very proud of you and love you very much. You are a special niece and always will be a very special part of my heart. I guess it’s back to e-mails for now as you take off on your new photography business.
Sniff. I will miss you too!! But I totally understand. Sometimes something’s gotta give for the sake of some semblance of balance. stick around twitter I hope??
I’ll miss you!
Oh I am sad you’re leaving, you’re a really inspirational person and you’ve inspired me with the way you live your life so wonderfully despite the fibromyalgia!
Thank you for writing such a brilliant blog, your photos are so gorgeous and I’ve enjoyed reading your posts
I wish you the absolute best of luck with everything in your life and I really hope 2012 brings you much happiness!
You will be missed!
Dear Terry – I’ve so enjoyed your blog and so appreciate you sharing your life. It is time consuming, though. Wish you the best with all your ventures. Hope you’ll stop by and visit my blog from time to time.
awe…I wondered what had changed. I just got to reading again. Sorry to see you go. Good luck in the photography business and all your other endeavors. And thank you so much for your encouragement. It means a great deal to me.
I wish you the best! I know how much time it takes to keep up a blog and it’s hard. Wishing you the best in your photography business!

Keep it up. Like the rest of us we learn as we go.
Clearly I’ve been off the grid a while, to just be reading this now. I hope things are going smoothly for you now and that you make your way back here if you ever need to. I’ve loved getting to know you and I wish only the best for you! xoxo
