Welcome to my wild ride

Hello!

I have had a blog on blogger for nine years. Nine.

However, I took a little 5 year break :D

I have forgotten a LOT about blogger since my last post. Also, while it would let me post, it was like the blog was sort of deactivated. I could post, but I couldn't change my theme or layout and that layout from 2013 hurt my eyes. My old, tired, weary eyes. I'm not even sure I remember how to do the basic little HTML that I had managed to figure out the last time around. This right here might be as fancy as it gets. Ha!

Anyway, I've decided I would like to get back into writing the blog. Even if just for me. I blogged a LOT about life with my two kiddos when they were younger and now at 18 and almost 16, it's nice to look back at a little snapshot and blurb of what life was like back then. Since I last blogged, I've had another child. He is four. He is wild and crazy and FUN and exhausting and growing up super fast. I'd like to have a blog that he is a part of so that someday when he is 18, I can look back at that sweet little face at 6 or 7 and relive some old memories :) Obviously, I will blog about life in general and not just my youngest but it's kind of symbolic I suppose that I start a new blog along with a new(ish) chapter of my life.

If, for some cosmic reason, you followed my old blog, WELCOME. If you are new, feel free to stick around. The old blog is still up at https://monkeeandthebee.blogspot.com and you can feel free to go over there and read some of the old stuff. If not, no worries. It's not like a sequel. If you haven't read the first part, you won't be totally lost. I promise.

I look forward to the future entries here. :)

Welcome.
