Returning & Update

Hello AATC friends!

It's been quite some time since I've blogged.

I have wonderful followers who look for my book reviews,

 send me sweet e-mails asking about my family and blog friends

who I follow and I've missed as well.

Although I'm not going into detail as to why I've been gone, 

I will say I needed some time away to regroup.  To figure out the direction of my blog and how I'm going to get where I want to go.

I haven't been reading much at all, which is a BIG part of my blog....book reviews.  I've been missing it and with summer upon us, I hope to get back into reading & reviewing again.

I've also decided to help an online friend with her business.

 This will help me to grow and earn money to expand my blog in the future.  I will be adding my friend as an author to my blog so she can be the voice of her business which will be located under her own section, but in turn she will compensate me for any customers she gains that are my followers.  I will also be helping her with some other virtual assistant tasks which will help me earn so I can create a bigger and better blog!  I'm looking forward to having another blogger on board with me to add to my site's content! 

As always, family comes first and everyone around here is definitely keeping busy, busy, busy!

My oldest daughter Em is now 13 years old and will be entering 8th grade....her last year of middle school!!!!  She's been busy this school year with singing in choirs and playing violin in orchestra.

Kaye is 9 years old and will be heading into 4th grade.

She's kept busy with Girl Scouts, friends birthday parties, 

school & field trips.

Jay has made me proud by quitting his addiction to cigarettes and continues adapting to a healthier lifestyle.

I have been busy being the taxi driver for my daughters, housekeeper for our home and accountant for the bills which hasn't left me with much 'me' time.  I would like to get back to exercising and eating healthier, reading more and getting things organized around my home.  There's a lot to be done and when I get to where I am going, it will feel so much better to have accomplished a healthier lifestyle, more organized home and acquired some free time to just be.  

Of course I'm excited to be back blogging and adding new and exciting things to my blog.  As always there are other places you can find me online.  Just scroll down  to the bottom of this post and look to the right of your screen.  All my social media icons are there and you can follow me on  whichever networks you're a part of.  Some social outlets I'm more involved with than others.  It's all  a work in progress and I'm grateful that you're along on this journey with me!

Thank You for being a loyal follower and 

I look forward to this new chapter ahead!!!
