I had really hoped to spend at least a few days away this summer just to

get away and enjoy some family time without the distractions  from our normal everyday activities.

So when on my Birthday a week ago my oldest daughter started experiencing severe stomach pains and eventually ended up in the hospital I posted this pic late one night while she was sleeping.  With the caption...

Pretending I'm at a weekend getaway at a fancy hotel!

(Guess I should have moved the bed pan for the pic ! )

She ended up having to have surgery and being in the hospital for a week.   After an up and down, exhausting 10 days I'm taking a break...

This break will include social media and some other miscellaneous things.

Most people know how I feel about social media so be assured it's not because I think it's negative and need a break from it.  I personally love social media and think it is a great tool that can be used for good.  I'm just choosing to change up some of the normal space and voices in my life and give space for some new...

I've decided to share some of my thoughts along the way,  although I won't be sharing them on my social media accounts for now.

So you're welcome to peek in...

hopefully it won't be too scary!  ;)
