Not Sure

I'm not sure about this blogging thing anymore. . . I love it for a lot of reasons - and I love following those of my friends & family - but lately something is holding me back from letting loose online. . . maybe because if I'm sick of talking about my trials then I'm sure you're sick of hearing about them - and the last couple of months they've been a little more on the forefront . . . and this isn't the forum to complain, anyway - so bad news is kind of no news, isn't it? But then what about the fun, the funny and the great? Because, of course, there's so much of that! Well, I've been hesitant about that as well. . .partly because I'm thinking it's time to go private, and partly because I hate going out of chronological order, and if there's something I want to post that happened BEFORE something I'm ready to post - it's just easier to skip the posting all together! Anyway - so that's the explanation as to why there's been no activity on our little account here. . . I'll for sure do my annual Christmas/New Year slide show - and the rest is to be determined!!

I have really missed the Thurber gang. I hope you get back in to the blogging thing.

i've been missing you too. however, i totally understand thinking about making it private. privacy is the one reason i don't blog. either way, i think you put too much pressure on yourself about the chronology of events...

I say stick with it! And who cares how and when you post stuff? It's YOUR blog. We all just have fun reading it. :o) And I say go private - it makes me feel a little bit better having my kids faces out there and knowing that not just anyone can easily see our blog. Looking forward to your slideshow! :o)

I really enjoy reading your blog but if you do choose to go private, I would love to still be able to read it. I was private for a lot of reasons, but now I am back to public for different reasons. Whatever you decide, I'm sure people will still read your blog.

I feel your pain -- esp. about wanting to stay chronological but I will just miss you too much if I don't hear from you :-)

I have gone through a lot of those same feelings about blogging. And there are times when I really want to vent like crazy...but I know I will regret it. I have never thought of your blog as a "boring" blog because you always say exactly what is on your mind, and the true Hilary shines through. By the way, I totally miss you and your family!!!
P.S. Have you seen people who have printed their blogs? They make the coolest books and I totally plan on doing it.

No! How else can we keep up with your family? It's just a little glimpse into your life that makes me feel like we're still somewhat connected.

Looking Back and Looking Forward

It's been a long time (7 years to be exact!) since I've contributed to this blog.  It had been such a wonderful way to save all of our important family stories in one place. Sadly, we had an unfortunate incident back in 2013 where someone made horrifying comments on a dozen or more posts and it freaked me out. I decided to shut it down completely. And with that, I lost contact with so many of our cherished friends that we'd kept in touch with this medium. It also made it harder to distribute our fun family Christmas Cards! I'm taking some college courses this fall, for the first time in nearly 25 years! I'm finally finishing my degree and the plan is to go to grad school - time will tell. I'm still working at the office - mostly from home, and am reeling with the reality that half of my gorgeous girls have flown the nest and are loving their schools, but are so far away!

The Revealing!

  The Problem:   Tight financial situation. . . too many places our money needs to go! The Challenge:   To not spend any money on school clothes for the girls. . . Use fabric that I already have, clothes I already have, etc. The Result:  A *LOT* of fun!  The girls loved being able to be a part of the designing and making process.  I had fun knowing that I've hardly spent anything, yet the girls have a few fun new outfits for school!   Total Spent:  Less than $15.  This includes the new t-shirts with a couple of the skirts I made, a cute piece of fabric I have yet to use, and some elastic!  Everything else came from our own house! Vivien's First Outfit:   Her skirt is made from an old pair of blue cords that ALL four girls wore.  Vivs wore them last winter, and they were going in the goodwill box until I saw an idea online to make old jeans into skirts. . . this is what I came up with.  The material I bought when I was pregnant with Lillian!!  It was planned to be a nighty. . .

Proud to be a Detroiter?

I saw my friend, Tia's blog tonight and just had to say *something*. I'd been biting my proverbial tongue the last couple of days. There really HAS been more violence lately, it seems. It's like there was a tidal wave that began a while ago, and it's just gaining momentum and leaving a mess in it's wake. This article, while it had me giggling with the comparison of the two mayors with the first & last paragraphs, leaves me quite cold. I do hope that someday we will see an amazing turn around. This city has such an amazing history, and has the potential to once again be a great place. . . I've been wanting to share this video of a commercial that's been playing here. It gives me chills. There really are so many wonderful things about Detroit. . .. We just have to sometimes sift through the sand to find the treasures. . . Click here to watch the commercial. And the Forbes article: America's Most Dangerous Cities Zack O'Malley Greenbu
