Blogging Break Notice!

It's Holy Week! I'm taking a blogging break this week (not that I've been posting much in recent months other than the Light in the Darkness & Deo Gratias link-ups, w/ an occasional extra post thrown in).

My goal is to resume these regular link-ups next week & try to add at least one other post each week. I've got lots of ideas in my head, it's just a matter of getting them out there!

Have a blessed Holy Week! May the Passion of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, draw you closer to Him & envelope you in the love of God! 

PEACE!

Extreme "Name" Makeover - The Big Reveal

When The Prophet was born almost 12 years ago, I gradually started calling him Munchkin. Over time, I shortened it to Munch & thought it was a cute nickname. So, when it came time to decide on my email & blog names, I thought Munch's Mom was perfect. The email & blogger programs wouldn't allow the apostrophe, so I became Munchesmom. This worked out great as we added more blessings to our family...Munches was plural already, so I didn't need to change anything.

Now, the Munchkins are getting older & all of them are in the upper end of the chart for height. The Prophet will be 12 in November & is already almost as tall as me. (I can even wear his shoes!) We've had to move up to men's shirts for him. It's hard to think of them as Munchkins anymore (even though they will ALWAYS be my babies!)

For some time now, I have been using my real name when commenting on blog posts of others. I've not been feeling very creative lately, so I'm having trouble coming up w/ another codename for myself. While I am still going to keep the other names on my blog coded, I will now refer to them as Blessings instead of Munchkins. I have also decided to let you know who hubby & I really are here on my blog.

So, without further ado, we will now be known as...

(create your own drum roll here, please)

"On My Mind"

I always have ideas running through my head in regards to blog posts I'd love to write. However, the time & words often elude me! Last night, as I was trying to fall asleep, the words below the YouTube link came to mind & they seemed to fit the melody of "In My Life" from Les Miserables.

On My Mind by Munchesmom

On my mind,
There are so many thoughts and ideas I long to pursue.

On my mind,
There are so many feelings and things that I want to see written for you.

It's so tough...it's so tough to find time to write.
Yet I try...I make time for my sanity though time is tight.
