gomommyblogger: Hellos with Bio Good-Bye

(Updated from 2018)

So, hello.
It's been awhile since we have found ourselves here.
Saying hello...like an old crush.

If you are new here and have no idea what a "hello" is, then let me introduce you to Lisa Leonard over at Lisa Leonard Blog and Lisa Leonard Designs Inc.
It was through Lisa's blog that I was introduced to "hellos".

I loved it, I adopted it.

Hello, Mod Pizza. YUM!

More recently I "met" another blogger with a theme: "Spending" months. In essence, Chelsea, over at The Girl Who Loved To Write blog, gives us ideas of how to "spend" our month:
highlights, suggestions, traditions, and must-dos!

Can I adopt this as well?
Golly, I want to!

So, beginning with credits, go check out Lisa and Chelsea and send them some blogging love!

Loved these this summer...did I share these yet?

I am still in the midst of the 100 Days to Brave blogging challenge (day 86!), and I am thinking...Hello Sundays and Spending months beginning 2019?

All kudos to the girls ^^
Really, check them out.

So...hello new goals!
Hello fun kicks!
The boys all got high tops and I just couldn't resist this.
Even their pants, it is so depictive of their characters!

Hello shelf! I saw you at Natalie's and I just knew I needed to love have you!

Love it, as well? Buy it at Walmart!

Hello dreamer...!

Hello nana, marmie, sister, and I on Thanksgiving!

Hello birthday cake for the biggins!

Hello getting over (fingers crossed!) a virus which has taken down all 5 members of McFive with the pukey-pukes over the last week. Go.Away!

And these pictures!!!

B.S.M. made this meme of Demitri and I.Is.Brilliant!!!

And does Thatcher have RED HAIR here in this picture of his wild dancing?

LOVE!!

Hello finding beautiful things to love:

Honeysuckle and painted rocks!

This was a summertime favorite, at the battlegrounds:

Hello, Good-byes! Today I write my new Blog Bio. Here's a glance at the last one:

THIS IS ME

It's May and it's 2018. As I sit here, wondering how to tell this story of who I am in this small box, I stop. It is not easy work.

Today I love lilacs: the way they look and smell. And in the mornings I read a mommy devotional and swish coconut oil around in my mouth before my three young sons rise and find me.

This year is one of great expectations: bullet journaling, meal planning, and making this house a home. Our home.

My name is Shannon, a.k.a. Mommy McFive.

I am blessed and I know it...but not in ways you may suppose. My husband, Big Strong Man, and I attend marriage counseling. We curse there and I cry.

Our sons are 3, 5, and 7. They are loud and fun and precious- when they aren't breaking stuff and blaming it on one another.

There are many insecurities I hold, but I am learning to hold them more loosely. Someday I long to see them fly away like dandelion seeds in a breeze.

Until then, I write about my life. Books I am reading, thoughts I am thinking. I struggle and I love Jesus- though I struggle with struggling while loving Jesus. Also, I share the many, many good sensations I am honored to witness- not the least of these a Spring filled with color and fragrance.

Welcome here, first time visitors and recurring friends. I am grateful for you all.

yours, gomommyblogger
