This year is a loooong way from the start of this original blog.  I originally began this blog to connect with friends and family way back in 2010.  We were homeschooling then and life was so chaotic!

Since then, life is still chaotic, and we are partially homeschooling (read: university model school).  The girls are older now, and since I jumped on the social media bandwagon, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram seem to make a quick word and picture so much easier than a little-read blog.

Also, I realize and respect the need for my daughters’ privacy even more as they enter the teenage years.  Right now this is time of reflection on the direction of this blog.  The old pages still exist, but for now I’m going to keep them private.

A new blog, a new direction; I suppose it may be a reality.  You just never know.  -Sparkle
