New Beginnings

I began my blog two years ago as a way to document my journey into motherhood, and the venture of remodeling a house into a home for my children. Raising two girls and remodeling a sixteenth century farmhouse quickly got in the way of any spare time intended for blogging. That, and the general busyness of life and my ever present attempt to be present, instead of writing or photographing for later refection. My husband and I have since completed the last of the remodeling projects, and have only a few cosmetic updates, and an outdoor deck and landscaping in the pike. Hardly a voyage worth documenting at this point. I must admit I’m disappointed I wasn’t more diligent with capturing each brick and stud’s integration, but alas here we are. Present, but with too many subtleties already lost. Eight years later and all 14 spaces in our home have been gutted to the studs and rejuvenated, refurbished and rebuilt. It’s time my blog takes me on a new journey, one I had never planned on. One I did not plan for. I will blog about growing two of the most creative, spectacular, loving, smart, beautiful little humans: my two very, very special daughters. Both who have special needs. And that's certainly something worth documenting.
