Too much to do!!

There has been so much illness wreaking havoc through our home these past few months, followed by a horrendous case of teething, and about a thousand inches of snow that my blog and other projects have been pushed to the side. For that, I apologize to my readers but a mom has to do what a mom has to do.

The new year has brought with it many new projects and goals that I am eager to get started. I'm attending some ancient cultural and anthropology classes online. I may have another writing oppurtunity, but I don't want to jinx it. I will be starting a co-op garden this year with a fellow covener. Let's see...I think that covers the me aspect.

I had started a 30 day exercise challenge for a few reasons. One of the main reasons is that I own a pair of size 9 jeans that I want to fit back into. Two, my energy levels when I cast are crashing into oblivion, I need more endurance. I'm currently on day 26. I'm incredibly proud of myself. Those size 9's I mentioned...yea I got those on, buttoned and zipped!! A busted can of biscuits ain't got nothing on me! But they were on!!! I've still got work to do, but I'm on my way.

As for my family, we grew by one more four legged member. His name is Loki and he is the sweetest and most mischeivious little tyke. He definitely lives up to his name. The baby wanders around calling him 'huppy' all the time.

The Eldest decided he wanted to do 3 resolutions this year. 1) Raise his grades. 2) Stop arguing all the time. 3) Remove 'can't' and replace it with 'how do I?' (that one is my favorite). He also has been helping out A LOT more around the house. I'm very proud.

Imbolc is right around the corner and I have so much to do still!!

Brightest Blessings Darlings!!

Happy Anniversary!!

Happy Anniversary to Stay-At-Home Witchery!!

The blog has been going strong for 2 years now. There is no sign of slowing down either. Actually, this witch right here is now an official writer. WildStar Forest will be published and out in January of 2014. I will post a link to it as soon as the website is up and running.

I have never done something like this before and am semi nervous about an article I've written being posted. Funny, I know, considering that I have been blogging for 2 years now. There is just something about being paid for your work that makes me anxious. I never feel as if my work is good enough. I am my own worst critic.

Back to the blog... I have some ambitious plans for the blog this year. So long as I get my computer up and running there will definitely be a few changes. All for the better, I promise. I want to have a Q&A section for people to get to know and learn more about my lifestyle choices. I'd also like to finish some sections and pages of the blog that have been neglected due to the fact that my personal comp is STILL busted.

As for today's entry, I want to focus on personal issues that I am working on resolving. It has nothing to do with New Year's, I don't believe in resolutions. I believe in actions. My problem right now though is that I have a friend who for quite some time was so negative that I just could not deal with it anymore because of how much stress I had to deal with in my own life. I told her as much and basically shut her out of my life until I was able to get myself in a better place. My problem is, now, I am not sure on how to bring her back into my life.

I made it perfectly clear that I did not want to lose her as a friend. I just couldn't deal with her problems and my own. Negativity breeds negativity in my opinion. My husband had lost his job, I had become very ill, and the stress of the holidays was overwhelming. My question to you dear readers is, 'How do I reconnect?'. One thing I have learned on this journey of mine is to not be afraid to admit you don't know everything and that it's ok to reach out for help.

Well, I'm reaching! What do I do??

Brightest Blessings my dear readers!!
