Saying good-bye to A HappyHeart Blog.

Michelle

When I went off to college I was certain that I wanted to major in the violin. I thought I loved to play it and I felt that I was good enough to be a great teacher someday. I played in the symphony, practiced hours and hours a day, and failed most of my other classes. It only took the 1st semester to realize that I didn’t like the violin as much as I thought and that I was wasting the hours away when really all I wanted to do was play the piano.

And so it is with my blog. I thought that I could keep up my blog, that it would have the same passion and joy in it that I had when I first started it in 2007. But like the violin, I don’t like my blog as much as I like my family and I definately don't want to fail - like I did my classes! I have loved posting on here and will not shut my blog down. I will be updating my blog through my blog header with recent photos or places we've been. I hope to come back to it someday when my boys have grown-up a bit and they don't need my every minute.

I still need to share with you the girl's baptism day photo which in true fashion, isn't the best photo - but certainly true to a long day and cranky babies.

I am certain that this is the right thing to do right now. I will be updating my blog header with photos I take of our family. I may also update my craft blog Crochetingagarden- just in case I get some crazy craft idea! You can also find me on facebook and through my email address at shecalledme@gmail.com. Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments and the beautiful friendships that I've made through this blog.

Goodbye, for now!

Michelle

I can't believe when I finally remembered to come to your blog it is to find out you are stepping away... I do enjoy seeing your facebook updates and will keep watching for cute pictures of your kids.

I hope all is well and that life calms down enough for you to come back soon. Enjoy your time with those cute babies! (and girls...)

Marie said...

Oh, that is too bad. But you're right; you need to be spending your time where it matters most. I hope we can email and keep in touch that way!

I think flexibility - our willingness to change the plan - will keep us sane and happy! Good for you for recognizing when to change the plan.
I can't believe how time flies... hope you are all well. Miss you! xo

Laura said...

It takes a great mom to realize that! I hope you keep us updated on FB how the kids are doing!
P.S. I've heard you play both the violin and the piano...you're very talented in both! :)
