Since being diagnosed with depression, I've felt this need to look out, beyond myself. You see, at the time I was diagnosed, I was halfway through reading a book call Desperate: Hope for the mom who needs to breathe {by Sarah Mae and Sally Clarkson}. This book offered me encouragement in the fact that I was not alone in my many stay-at-home roles. It brought me inspiration.

These things, these lessons I'm learning as light is shed on the deepest parts of my heart are personal and important. The last thing I want is to keep all of this to myself. And so, I've started a new blog called Seasons Change.


The very idea behind that name is that nothing in this life is permanent. I know my dark season will pass and bring something new. Through the changes and the lessons, the sorrow and the joy, I want to share those things with you. I want to virtually link arms with you and run with enthusiasm to whatever life brings. I want to compare notes and have conversations about things that have become secrets but don't need to be secrets. In my God, there is no condemnation. No shame.

I intend to keep reviews and giveaways going here at Coffee With The Mrs. as well as sharing on the lighthearted parts of my life. And really, the only reason I started a new blog altogether was because I intend to keep it free from "commercial breaks". I'll still be enjoying my coffee and I hope you'll bring yours over. This new space is where I hope you'll feel comfortable curling up on the couch, turning down the noise in life, and talking with me about deeper things. I'll be sure to reply to comments and I've set up an email just for that blog should you feel more comfortable talking with me that way.

I hope you'll join me.


Something New That Doesn't Quite Fit

OK. I'm not sure that's a word but it works, right?

Anywho, this post is not about the genius words I make up. Although, I could spend an entire day writing just about that. (Just ask my hubster, I have many original words.)


Rather, this is about a great blog I just found.

I've always loved to see the craftsmanship of others. I think handmade items are unique, gorgeous, and most times green. (See where the "Greenspiration" word comes in?) But, as a very busy mom of 2, I don't have time to peruse Etsy (among other websites) to find the latest and greatest in the handmade department.

Enter solution here!

I've found a blog that promises to cover that for me and she does it so well. Not only does Deanna at My Handmade Addiction share her favorites in her shopping endeavors, she also has my taste. It's true. Everything she's posted so far has made me say, "Oh, I love that!".

And what's better than that? Well, dear readers, she shares my love of coffee. Mmmhm! It's a match made in heaven. Oh, and she posted about the BEST travel mug ever. (Click that link to see)

She'll do the shopping and post about it, and I can just keep tabs with her blog and make a wish list of my own. Simple bo-dimple.

Care to have your own personal shopper? Just follow her blog. :)

Thanks, Deanna! I'm excited to see what you find next.

**I was not compensated in any way for this post. My "finds" are selected and posted by my own choosing while I receive nothing in return. (is it that hard to believe a blogger would post something without gaining anything? lol)

...to my blog.

On my wish list is a magazine layout for Blogger (because I'm doubtful that I'll be moving to Wordpress anytime soon due to money), a rockin' Featured Content Slider at the top of my posts, and a Top Sidebar over my 2 sidebars.


I'm also about to install a brand new, seriously different, look to my blog. I feel it's time that I just be myself on my blog and ditch the cartoon girl. Can you dig it?

So, I'm off to hunt for tutorials and find the answers to my questions while uploading a new design. Hopefully, some fun changes will be coming to my blog without crashing it. LOL

In the meantime, if you know of a tutorial that may help me, please feel free to comment with a link to it or you can just tell me the name of the website where I can find one.

Thanks!

Hey There!

OBVIOUSLY, there's a new look about the place here. I'm diggin' it. Why? Well, because I did it all myself. It's true!



Now, there are a few things I would still like to be able to figure out in regards to my sidebars, but that is neither here nor there. I'm happy with the look for now.

Anywho, with a new look comes a new button. If you would be so kind as to update the button on your blog, I would appreciate it. If you're thinking, "Nah. I'll keep the old one." That's alright too, I suppose. ;)

I also wanted to point out the nifty new buttons on the sidebar. I thought this would help clean things up a bit while leaving room for sponsors, giveaway listings, subscribe buttons, and followers. I'll always leave my giveaways listed on the sidebar to make it easier for you to find them quickly if you're just here to enter or get in your extra entries.

Hmmm...I think that's it for now! Have a good one. :)

It has come to my attention that my feed has not been updating recently. I'm so sorry about that. It seems like everything got a bit bumpy with the switch from blogger to my own domain name.

I've adjusted my feedburner feed so if you subscribed by e-mail, please re-subscribe on the right sidebar. Also, try resubscribing to my feed (also on right sidebar). Finally, if you were following my blog through blogger, please make sure that you're still following.

In the meantime, I'm not sure what else to do. If you have any "blog know how" that I do not, please share your wisdom with me. :) Thanks!

On Aloha Friday, Kailani (of An Island Life) asks a simple question and those playing along post their own question to their blog.
Her question is:
If you could start your blog all over again, what would you do differently?

I hate to say it, but I would have only shared my journey with specific people to spare myself the gossip. Ah, retrospect...

My Question is:
If you could leave right now to take your family anywhere for a week, where would you go?
My Answer:
I'd love to take my son to a zoo where they actually have elephants, an aquarium, and then the Grand Canyon.


*Don't forget to look at the sidebar for giveaways! Aloha!*

It took me all evening, but I finally have my blog where I like it. Do you have any idea what a headache wanting 3 columns is? If I would have known, I would have never changed a thing.

So, here I sit. My design is done...I feel like I should be doing something.

What's that?

It's 11:00pm?

You're right, I should sleep.

Can I share a funny story first?  Good!

Alex has a little Curious George stuffy that he carries around the house from time to time. Most of the time, it's just an excuse to do his cute little "OOOH, AH, AH, AH" monkey noise. This time, though, Alex wanted to show me a new trick.

First, Alex turned George over and pat his back to "burp" him. This is totally my fault and the hubster supports it, so there you have it. I told Alex that I was VERY impressed by the burping George. That's when I saw it; Alex sneered his "gonna do something" sneer.

"OK. What's up your sleeve, kiddo?" I wondered.

Quick as could be, Alex pressed down on George's back and proceeded to make a fart sound with his mouth. This, my friends, is NOT my fault. I have never, ever even thought to show Alex how "everything farts".

Who do you think I can blame for this one? Hmmmm....I wonder.









(Alex is trying to hide from the Mama-razzi.)

Now, that I've shared that, I'm off to bed.

Phew...What A Lot of Work!
