Taking a Little Blogging Break

Dreamstime_l_31686958

I am going to be taking a little break from blogging until the last week of September. When I return I hope to get back to my usual quilty and bookish content. 

Things have been rather hectic in my personal life these past months, with many family responsibilities vying for my time. With luck, things will settle down a bit over the next few weeks and I can get back to my hobbies and other interests. Thanks for your patience, and I'll look forward to "talking" to you again the last week of September!

  34. Good for you Nicole. Prayers for you and your father. We do reach a certain stage in life. Especially that “sandwich” point – taking care of parents, our adult kids and the grands. It can be overwhelming. Our crafting is a respite while we take care of business… but not a blog. Everyone’s support will be here. You are often so gracious to acknowledge and respond everyone’s comments. I’m glad you are taking a step back and taking care of YOU.

  37. Self care is important and when something becomes a task rather than a pleasure, it’s time to take a break. Enjoy your break (and are you going to Ireland this month?). I look forward to your return.

  55. Best of prayers for you, your father, and your family. This has been a stressful time for you. From prior experiences, I would advise you to give yourself all the rest you need! If you get sick, then lots of dominoes fall down. Our bodies can only handle so much stress before something must give. You can ask any doctor or mental health person to validate that statement, if only you had the time! Enjoy all the quiet moments you get. One day you will look back and treasure the time you have spent serving your family in these valuable moments.
