Remember me?

It has been a LONG time since I've written on this lovely blog of mine! And though I doubt everyone has been patiently waiting for a family update from The Carlton family, I on the other hand have needed it. 

I've recently been reading along with an old friend's blog, and have admired the amazing things that have been going on in their life. It has inspired me to change the way that I look at my life. 

At first I questioned myself, and had the thought that "I'm not on a life changing journey, so what do I possibly have to offer the readers of my blog?" The more I thought on that, I realized that there is an unspoken bond between all moms, regardless of age and years of motherhood under their belts. I thought that maybe I'm sharing similar struggles and moments of triumph as other women in my life, and I at the very least offer the knowledge that they aren't alone in their stage of life. 

So while I dream about that effect that my blog will have on it's few readers, I came to the conclusion that I need to write in this blog for myself. Because even though it sometimes feels like I'm in a very slow, steady, and rarely changing stage of life, I have a huge impact in the people that mean the most to me, my family. And I'll want to look back at this time of my life and see the way my family has grown with each other. So please feel free to join in with my family on our struggles, triumphs, and love that we share. 

(And if I start falling behind on posts, please feel free to verbally kick me in the pants to get me moving again! 😋)
