Ding Dong!

Hiatus & Five Blogs

Posted in Ding Dong!. on Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 by annie Tags: blogs, five blogs, hiatus, sister

My apologies for the lack of content around here lately.  Although, to be candid, I’m not really sorry.  This computer has been the last place I’ve wanted to be, as we recently received news that my oldest sister passed away.  It’s been heart-wrenching, and despite all my pondering and experience of grief in the past, nothing could have prepared me for the shock and sadness that have been my companions this week.  I’ve been so grateful for the love and comfort we’ve received from so many friends near and far as we walk through this time of loss. Here’s a picture of us as kids, my oldest sister keeping me (on the right) from sliding off the hay bale.

I’m taking a little hiatus from blogging and taking comfort in extra time with my family and just adding a little space.  As I sign off for a bit, I’ll leave you with a few links I had prepared & planned to share a few weeks ago, but never got to post.

Be back soon,

Annie

*******************************

Here are a few of the many, many blogs I discovered during the Blogging Your Way class that Holly, from decor8, and Leslie, of A Creative Mint taught this Spring. I highly recommend the class to any aspiring bloggers.

The posts from Jules of Pancakes & French Fries is hysterical, useful, comforting, thought-provoking – depending on the day. Be sure to check out  The Bright Side Project, which she and the lovely Miss B collaborate on.

Oh, Alison.  Beets and Biscuits makes cooking from scratch look like so much fun!  Great recipes, great photos.  If you need inspiration to get in the kitchen…

At Good Measure, find a daily dose of inspiration, and then some!

Eva‘s beautiful photography inspires me to take more [better] pictures of my kids.  Beautiful.

Despite the fact that home and burlap and cute birds are dear to both of our hearts, Bonnie’s blog has a totally different approach to settling at home & exploring design.  Again, lots of great inspiration.

You’ll be seeing all these blogs on the blogroll soon!

    Although there are no words that can ease your loss may the comfort of the Lord lift you and your family up and comfort you.

    So sorry to hear of your sad news. It made my heart extremely heavy. And what a beautiful photo to treasure for always. I kept staring at it….and thinking lovely thoughts you must have had that day as a child with the hay and your family. My thoughts are with you.
    Love,
    Eva (muddy feet)

    My heart is so sad! :( This is what a blog fast will do–keep you away from online friends you didn’t even know could use a shoulder. I hope you are doing better and have found some peace. :(
