gomommyblogger: Get Your Life in Order/Year Review (July 22-31)

This is Me

This part always gets me. This portion where I write about myself.

*deep breath* OK, here goes:

Because you are on a Mommy Blog, I will assume that we are similar-wifes and mothers and girls trying to figure it all out.

Let me just get this one thing off my chest so there is no misleading- cooking is not in my skill set and I am a crafty-mommy-wannabe, so you may see some of that on here, but they are mostly pipe dreams of mine and I accept that.

What this site is...well, if you like to read and see cute kids and quirky, oftentimes emotional posts, I got all of that here.

I try to be real. Ugly real, sometimes. -Maybe most of the time.

My inclination is to share the highlights, but I know it is the craziness which makes you feel more comfortable, so I'll go with that.

Marriage is one of the greatest gifts I have been given, but it is also really, really, INCREDIBLY difficult for me, and I write to process it all.

My three sons are great- when they are not annoying one another and -quite honestly- me.

They are my favorite.

I read, write, and go for long walks in order to just deal.

Gomommyblogger was born out of a desire to share the fun parts of mommyhood, but it has evolved to my online space to clear my head, share my truths, and offer you a hand if you find yourself trying to juggle the happiness and the craziness this life throws in spades.

The craziness...oh, it almost sounds dainty.

My simple goal is to be a friend- to you and to myself.

Writing offers the writer perspective and time and reading allows the reader to relate or learn, or relate and learn.

If you're reading this, you're here. If you're here, I am glad to have you. Welcome.

Always, Shannon

Get Your Life in Order/Year Review (July 22-31)

Hello again, July and July's friends!
Welcome to our last week's challenge for this glorious -albeit hot as Hades- month.

New here? Welcome! Please join us today, right here, or check out each month's objective/each week's challenge on my Challenges key below my nametag.... so yeah, I certainly do not know the proper names of these things.

Throughout this month we have played catch-up on previous challenges which were/are left unfulfilled as well as played rest-up and been purposeful to take a break and slow down some this month.
Final week's agenda, more of the same. (Is this boring? I figured you might enjoy the slow time, I know I have!)

Big Stack of Books

You may remember I published a post on my 2015 Book List. Yeah, this is a good time to play catch-up on things that excite (not just those which scream at me, like my baseboards).

Alright friends, with a little over a week until August...let's do this!
