This is the End

Ok this post feels harder to write then I anticipated... 

This is the last blog post that I plan to write.  Ever.  I have been blogging since 2010 right after McKay and I got married in December 2009.  I documented our wedding, anniversaries, all of our children's pregnancies and births, and our foster care journey.  It is now December 2021 and I am sitting here at the computer writing my last blog post for 2020.  I have decided to no longer blog about our family's journey.  

In 2020 I started to get behind on posting on the blog.  It just got hard to keep up with while taking care of 9 kids and I am not able to blog from my phone.  I have to use a computer and it is tough finding time to sit down at the computer.  So something had to change.  I started researching my options and found out about the app Project Life.  It is an app that is similar to digital scrapbooking, but a little easier to use.  I decided to start using it to document our lives.  Part of the reason I am making the change is that I have a desire to be a little more private with our family's life as my kids get older. Project life seems to be a good fit for us as we stop sharing each and every milestone my kids have publicly.  Project Life still helps me create beautiful photo journals for our family to keep for years to come (which is my ultimate goal with our blog).  I am excited about this new chapter in the way that I document our life, but I will miss having this blog.  

I have LOVED this blog.  It was such a wonderful outlet for me when my kids were young and I have loved connecting with so many of you through blogging.  But times change and blogging seems to be a thing of the past.  So ready or not we are moving on to new things.  Thank you for following our journey on here and being my motivation to get our family's life documented.  I hope life is treating you well and that you have a Happy New Year!
