And I THANK you!

Coming around to deadline again so I am going to be busy but I am happy to say things are going great and are really calming down already...I wanted to give a shout out to everyone who has had a kind word or thought and have stuck with me through this! You have made it an easier transition and left me feeling not so alone! Everyone who has commented, you have no idea what it has meant to me! I know that everyone is busy with their own life, trust me, I KNOW, especially after I got a new one of my own, Lol- but I thank you for taking the time to just say Go Get 'em or good job or I love you!
Special thanks to my wonderful SIL Crystal, (who has edited, commented, constructively criticized, been excited for, been the best encourager IN THE WORLD, rooted for me and who all together is everything a best friend should be) Tiffany (my greatest advisor), AnnMarie (yes...YOU. who doesn't even know whose words and excitement have made it feel like it was all well worth it) and Chewhi (Cheryl) whose help and friendship long in the coming, (wink, wink) has been a great blessing and a cherished thing to me! Not everyone stuck with me through this but my blogging buddies DID!
Your consistent encouragement, friendship and help in every form has made this a LOT easier.
Love you guys!

And: I have heard through the grapevine...that the mag has made some of you laugh (hooray!), many of you cry (love it!) and a few of you MAD! (intended!) Lol So that is the whole intent of the mag...to not be too fluffy, nor to heavy- but in the words of our favorite little baby bear...
"juuuuuuuust right". We are working toward that every month...so keep expecting great improvements! And for goodness sake, WRITE IN with your comments! OR tell me what you liked or didn't like privately. Your opinion COUNTS!

Love you guys! Happy Weekend!

I have a good friend who talks about "balance" a lot... I've learned (and still learning) that only in, because of, and through Him is it even closely accomplished in our lives!

Yes, and I am not meaning to leave anyone out!! Lots of people have responded to me privately and also I'm sure have rooted us on silently...just giving kudos to where deserved!
Hugs!

Give her a hug from me when you see her!

I'm glad you're starting to feel a little more settled in your "new life" as you called it. Take it from me, as I've been a work-at-home mom for my entire motherhood of 10 1/2 yrs. I just do the best I can when and where I can. It's all about priorities. And don't stress the rest. Even if the kids are lacking in gourmet meals, they're gaining in other ways in their life experience. Keep up the good work!

And thank YOU for those kind words...this really is an exciting thing you guys are doing and it is definately the best learning experience your girls could have. Not to mention all the things you are surely learning about yourself too. Keep up the fantastic work. And I do have to say your husband must be pretty amazing to jump into this adventure with you.

Sarcasm? I got nuttin'. You're welcome. Thanks for letting me tag along. I have been able to work, "My sister in law? Yeah she owns a parenting magazine in Florida. I help 'er out when I'm not too busy.", into casual conversation at least 18 times in the last month.
