Back on the block

Prior to May, I had never taken a real break from blogging since I began writing this blog, and I didn't quite understand when other bloggers I read would impose these breaks on themselves.

But now I get it.  Disconnecting from the blog and limiting my time on Facebook has been a good thing.  I am far more productive during the day, and I feel more connected to my family.

Still, I have missed sharing my life on the blog with my friends who read, and there is something about having this blog that feels like it is a living/breathing testament to my life as a mood-disordered mama, rather than just my rantings on paper stuffed in a box.

So........

How have I been connecting with my family during my hiatus.....

By doing a mud-run with my daughter in May....

By taking the kids to a fun new exhibit at the science museum.....

By going swimming....

 By planning and executing an art show/patch ceremony for N's Girl Scout troop.....

By going peach and black raspberry picking with my 3 and N's friend (which either makes me awesome or crazy)......

By taking the kids (and friend) to a historic cabin following our fruit-picking fun...

By sending N to Girl Scout camp (and G to Pixie camp while I volunteered)....

By visiting a nearby Patrick Dougherty sculpture....

All of this, and today is only the 3rd of July.  Surely I get an award for keeping them educationally entertained thus far.
