Post One on Part Two

This past weekend a friend asked me to start blogging again. I kind of forgot I used to blog. But apparently I did for about 7 years of my life. I can't remember the password for that site so I just started a new one. But here is the link to the old site incase you didn't know me back then. And our life seems so different now, it didn't feel right to just write a new post after a 4 year absence. So here we are, this is us. As of today the kids are 12, 10, 9 and 5. Chip and I have birthdays coming up soon. I may blog about those. We are from Alabama but live in Arkansas by way of Louisiana. Chip fights fires and sells big red trucks to provide for our family. To say he loves the fire industry is an understatement. He does see a lot of tragedy but I also refer to his duty days as his "every 3rd day slumber party". He likes to say his hobby is 12 year-old baseball. Between our family of 6 and his 2 jobs, coaching our oldest's tournament baseball team is literally his only hobby. But he absolutely loves it and it's a family affair. I am positive that will be a post pretty soon since we are in the middle of the season. I stay home, homeschool 2 of the 4 kids, sell Beautycounter and Plexus because I am concerned about what goes on our skin and in our bodies. I try to mentor a few younger ladies, and I love my Friday morning bible study. Remember the whole homeschool role and the husband with two jobs? Mama needs adult time! Other things that occupy my time are laundry, dishes and thinking about how I really should start exercising again. This is us.
