Going Private - without subscribers

I've had this nagging thought in my mind for a while - that I needed to take our family life a bit more private. I love to blog. I love to take pictures. I love keeping people updated on what our family is up to. However, in the process of keeping this blog public I feel like my voice has lost some of its' authenticity and sincerity. 

The first and foremost goal of this blog is to help me appreciate and document the daily moments with this family that I love so much. And while the blog is still arguably fulfilling that aspect, I feel like other aspects have ventured in and crowded that main purpose out a bit. 

So, after lots of thinking about it and lots of chats with Jason, I'm taking it private. I'm not sure at this point how long term/permanent this will be, I just know that it's what needs to happen at this point in time in order to return this blog to its' intended purpose - documenting our family and the memories we are making. And from there, we'll take it a step at a time. 

I have some other blog and article ideas stirring up in my head, but for now I'm focusing in on welcoming a new baby into our family, gearing up for homeschool, finally settling into this home of ours and, most importantly, embracing the present moment as we work towards our family vision. 

A big thanks to everyone who has stopped in to read around - I hope that you have enjoyed a small glimpse into our lives.
