I can’t do it all.
If I can be honest, it feels like I’m treading water just trying to keep up. My duties as a wife, mother, volunteer, part-time employee, church member, and blogger has kept be busier than I could imagine.
Every time I think life will slow down and I can finally catch up on things, something else happens.
The truth is I can’t do it all. And I’m not supposed to.
So with that said, I have an announcement….
…I will be taking a break from hosting the Frugal Crafty Home Blog Hop.
I’ve thought about this for a long time and after praying about it I feel Jesus is asking me to take a break from hosting the party to ensure my other duties are not getting neglected. Maybe sometime down the road I’ll start hosting again. But for now I know I’m supposed to take a break.
Don’t worry–the party will still go on!
The good news is my super awesome co-hosts will still be hosting the party so there’s nothing for you all to lose! So after this week, please hop over and visit Amy from A Blossoming Life, Katie from The Casual Craftlete, and Kristi from Making It In The Mountains for the Frugal Crafty Home Blog Hop.

Thank you Jennifer! I’m glad I made that decision because life has only gotten busier since. Someday things will slow down, right? 🙂

I hear you Carrie! Thanks for hosting for so long and I hope this break gives you more time for what is most important!
I’m already getting excited about having a little more time with the family and some time to share fun projects with awesome readers like you!
I applaud you for listening to what the Lord is telling you and making your family a priority! God bless!
I’m already feeling a bit of relief, so I know that this was the right move for now. I’m so thankful for God’s direction! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave me some encouragement, Phyllis!
The feeling of not being able to do it all is definitely something I can relate to! Best wishes to you and thank you for hosting the blog hop!
