Here we go again...

March 27, 2020/ Sarah Lowe

It’s been a HOT MINUTE since I blogged here in this space, y’all. I tried to get back into it recently, posting some pics and a few random things.But something has been pulling me back to it for some time now. Pulling me back to SHARE. I have put it off and put it off, but here I am. My heart loves to share life here. It has always been such a sweet little spot for journaling, sharing, connecting, and even building community.

I kept thinking I needed a good plan or a “niche” or something like that, but right now I am just going with my heart…to just DO IT.

I am actually a terrible procrastinator. TERRIBLE. I do really well in the 11th hour of things, but scheduling and and planning - and then following through with that plan - is actually super hard for me. I get in my head too much about what I am supposed to be doing, then I get overwhelmed, then I shut down and don’t do anything at all!! It’s terrible! Can anyone relate?

But I am making an concerted (is that a word? it sounds like the right word.) effort to DO BETTER. To just START, and know that even if it’s not perfect, at least I did something. “Something is better than nothing”, right?

Do I have a big plan of what to blog about here? no. Do I know if anyone will even read any of it? no idea. But do I need to just do it because I feel led to? yep. So here we go.

Things here may look pretty or put together sometimes (I do like taking pics and I do like a clean house), but things on this blog will also be messy and hard and raw. Because that’s just who I am. All those things. I love Chick Fil A, but I also love a good juice cleanse. I love my kiddos, but there are also days I wish I could throw in the mama towel. Our marriage is sweet, but it also has been through some hard times. We live a good life, but we work really hard for it, with lots of sacrifice. Ups and downs and ins and outs and beautiful and messy - thats what you’ll get here.

My main goal, as it always has been, is to be REAL. I think that’s how God created us to function. I think that’s how we can live our best lives, our most fruitful and abundant lives!

So thanks, whether you have always been around as I have shared life online, or if you are new here…thanks for being here. I look so forward to doing this THANG.

Life Lately

March 15, 2020/ Sarah Lowe

Back in the good ole blog days (think: linky parties and such! lol)…people used to do something called “Life Lately”, where it was not a ton of writing or actual blogging…but more just sharing pics of what has been happening in their lives recently. SO, I thought it would be fun to take it “old school” and bring that back around here!

Here are some views of our life in the last few months!

Margs and Marlin

March 01, 2020/ Sarah Lowe

Last month, we spent a week in one of our favorite places…Mexico!
We had dates just us, we spent time with friends, we dreamt and strategized about the future, we read books and ate good food and drank good drinks. We saw whales jumping right near the beach, every day. We went on a once in a lifetime fishing trip, and caught 3 Marlin! It was incredible, and I don’t even like fishing! And one miracle…I had sushi for the first time in my life! We caught our Marlin, and a chef on the boat cleaned and cooked it and made it so beautiful that I couldn’t NOT try it! And it was good. But I mainly did it for the experience so don’t really see myself eating sushi anytime soon, lol. It was a MUCH needed break after a crazy and hard-working year, especially for my husband. He deserved this time away so badly.

Here are some pics from our time there! And I highly recommend the Le Blanc Adult’s Only Resort and Spa! It was pristine and wonderful in every way, and we have been to quite a few resorts in Mexico! This was on of the very best.
