About blogging… {Thoughts From Me}
Some days I have no idea what to blog about so then this becomes a sort of diary for me. An outlet to get out my frustrations. A way to let go and share myself with the world.
Most days I have no idea where these posts are going to go. I just let my fingers type and my mind release it’s thoughts onto digital paper. As with most of our life, I go with the flow of things.
The problem with this is that there is no real stability in my blog content. That’s not necessarily a bad thing but just not a great thing when you’re a blogger. There is no particular spot for my posts. There is no particular format for my posts. There is no particular topic or style or method for my posts. They just are.
As a blogger, as a writer, I would prefer to see myself writing more interesting posts to share with my readers. I would prefer to see myself more organized in blogging and talking about life, homeschooling, even Epilepsy. I would prefer to find my spot in this blogging world, claim it for myself and let it build into something beautiful. I know that comes with time and effort though.
I have many friends who make blogging look so easy and in some ways it is when you have the content provided, such as in providing reviews and information to the public. But when it comes down to the real life heart of blogging, it becomes harder to get past the chatter and into the meat of writing.
So this months goal is to just get back to writing. Put pen to paper and go, or in this case, fingers on keyboard to digital paper and type. Both end in fabulously unique results and that’s my end goal.
This month is Epilepsy Awareness Month. As you all know, it’s a subject close to my heart as three of my four beautiful babies, along with myself have lived with Epilepsy for most of our life. This month I will be sharing more about our life with Epilepsy, as I do often throughout the year. Please message me if you have any questions you would be interested in having me answer for you.
And as always stay tuned for the next post…
With all my love,
Dana

My baby is no longer a baby.
They do grow up way too fast.
Life {Thoughts From me: November 8, 2010}
I missed writing my posts yesterday due to a lot of various things I had going on. I’m planning to catch up on them this afternoon.
Lately the kids and I have been doing a lot of stuff together: cleaning and school and just having fun bonding experiences. They are very excited that Christmas is on the way and after that comes their birthdays. It’s a joy to see them so happy with life.
Personally, I’ve been reading away when I haven’t been busy cleaning up around here. I’ve recently read Passionate Homewives Desperate For God by Jennie Chancey and Stacy McDonald (review to come). I’m currently reading Grace Based Parenting. I have a list of about 10 books to cover in the next month. My goal is to change my thinking as a housewife, a mother and Christian parent. Already this is happening.
I look at life as the “world” views it, but I fail to see things as God has intended them to be seen. I want that connection to God and that simpliness of Life in my own life. I want them for my children too. I’m changing my “world” view to God’s view and it’s a beautiful and glorious thing! There will be much more talk about these changes in my future as my heart grows in God’s glory.
My children are the most gracious gift God has ever given to me. I am not perfect but in their eyes I’m everything. I love this opportunity that God has blessed upon me. I know that I’m a lucky woman to have been given this wonderful life.
Laycie’s Growing Up {March 19, 2010}
Laycie’s learning to write and color! She’s getting to be such a big girl. In just a few weeks she will turn 2. She’s still not talking well, but thankfully her seizures have been under control for over a year. In fact, she has not had a single seizure in a year now. I’m so estatic about this!
For her speech, I have been working on some theraputic exercises, mostly just talking clearly to her and presenting her with the correct words to answer. I know she can hear me and hear me well because of her responses. I am afraid it’s her tongue that is preventing her from talking, as she is slightly tongue-tied, but I am hoping that in the next few months her speech blossoms. Just taking it day by day to see what happens.
She’s truly growing up. She has the sweetest disposition, though she definately lets us know when she’s not happy about something.
I could not be more in love with my sweet blue-eyed girl!
