I’d Love To Hear Your Thoughts!

October 20, 2016March 27, 2017

As I was reflecting on this blog the past few weeks, I realized how much this blog has meant to me. I started to blog because I wanted to share with family and friends, in a unique way, what was going on in our life. At the time, we lived just far enough away from my family that we couldn’t just hop over to their places at any given time. I thought that keeping a blog/log of our life would help keep people informed about our life – which really, isn’t that interesting!

Little did we realize that the blog would help us get through some of the most joyous, but also the most grievous times in our life. Being able to share our journey through losing two little babies at just 3 weeks in our gestational carrier’s womb, but also to share the utter miracle of the birth of our daughter Mazy Grace in 2015. It was this blog that helped me work through some of the emotions and even introduced me to some of the most amazing people I have “met” via this blog.

Then of course there was the organizing blog that I started and decided to combine into this blog, after a move to Minnesota from Michigan. That website kept me busy while trying to figure out and navigate life in a new town and a new state.

All that to say, I have LOVED blogging. It is something that I find I can share my heart in and just what our life is about. In doing so, I know that I obviously share about things that people could quite frankly care less about. In blogging, you by default open yourself up to the opportunity for people to criticize and judge, but also relate to as well.

I decided that I want to get YOUR OPINION about this blog. I want to hear what YOU enjoy reading the most? What YOU look forward to the most. I would love to hear what you have to say!

SO…

If you could take just 3 minutes of your time and fill out this BLOG SURVEY, I would GREATLY appreciate it! I can’t guarantee that I will make all of the requested changes, but I want to connect with my readers as much as I can.

Please head on over to this simple Google Form and let me know what you think!

Stress-Free Back To School Prep: School Supplies

Hard to believe that school is just around the corner! For some, this may already be a fleeting thought since your kids are in school already! This is a series I did a year ago, but thought it would still apply, as the stress around school always happens it seems, no matter what year it…

NEW MOVIE – HIS ONLY SON

**NEW MOVIE coming out from the studio that brought you The Chosen, called “His Only Son”! His Only Son recounts one of the most controversial moments in the Old Testament—when Abraham was commanded by God to sacrifice his son Isaac on the mountain of Moriah. While traveling to the place of the sacrifice, alongside Isaac…

Around The Home

This is what has been going on outside of all of the Christmas festivities! Note the two different temperature readers! The Sunday before we left for Michigan, at 8:00 it was MINUS 22.3 (the clock on it is wrong), and a week later in Michigan, it was 52 degrees. Talk about an upswing in temperature!…

Heart Journey Update – Ablations

I am home! Not sleeping in your own bed and not having a window to the outside world, sure makes you appreciate life at home all the more. And we are back together as family of 3. I know many of you read my update on Facebook about how the procedure went, but I’ll hopefully…

Around the Home

I just love all things summer! The weather, the different activities that this season offers, and most of all, time together with sweet Mazy Grace! This past week we went to Dutch Village (we have a season pass), made a trip down to Shipshewana, and visited her cousins at the Ottawa County Fair! Feeding the…

Around The Home

We have welcomed some warmer weather to Minnesota this past week! We have been in the 30s the past few days, which has been so wonderful, considering Mazy wants to keep going outside. It is a whole lot more bearable for us all when it’s not so frigid out there. Granted it’s a sloppy mess,…

Hey Kristin,
I tried to do the survey but as I am not following you on any social media (FB, Instagram, Pinterest), it would not let my survey go through. I just love reading your blog to keep up with your sweet family. I mostly read your personal posts and not the organizing or give-aways. But that's ok. It's all good. I find your posts inspirational and something I can relate to. Keep up the good work!
<3 Donna Lanning
