It's been a while.....

Sometimes life gets so busy you just sorta stay connected. I must admit I have been craving business all winter. My baby girl took a lot of my time and energy. She needed it to grow strong. And, it is paying off. She is healthy and a very happy little one. I only recently started getting out of the house with her. Visiting people here and there. Going to a mamma and baby group. The other mommas are either first timers or have had a few like me. I find us moms with experience give a lot of support to the other ones. Though, we all have stuff to teach each other. I think I am the one with the most children. It's a nice two hours of time with my baby. I have now stared walking there and we love it.

I am now relishing the fact that I have this time to spend with my baby. I must admit the winter was hard. Being cooped up in the house was difficult. Previously, I kept busy. I never had maternity leave before. I was always a student and went back to school within weeks of having my babies. I think the only one I took time off for was my first one. I took a whole year off school. We were poor but happy.

My eldest daughter is going to be 18 soon. I feel so old. She is a beautiful woman now, going to school at college doing what she wants to do. I am so proud of her. I raised her well.

So in recent weeks I have been doing some writing. I have a chapter for a book due soon. I have been plugging away on that. Fun stuff. No really, fun stuff! I love to write. I always have been. I have work that I wrote when I was a young girl. I guess I keep everything, but not hoarding-style. That's gross.

Now, the weather is getting warm. I have been going outside with my baby and girls. Soon we will be putting in a garden with friends, a community garden of sorts. I look forward to that. The last garden I put in, all the corn was eaten. It was devastating. Looking back on it, I laugh. Believe it or not I have the one and only ear of corn left sitting on my shelf as a reminder. A reminder of that time and fun. I suppose I will plant the corn from it in my new garden.

My children love, just love the outdoors. I have big plans to take them camping this summer. I now have a bike and a bike trailer that I pull my four year old around in. My big plan is to take her to summer fun day camp in it. So look out! Me and my girl will be heading your way!

That's all for now!
