When Writing Becomes Hard

Hey everyone, So I am an awful blogger.  Horrible.  I am so inconsistent.  Even after I purchased my first ever computer, I just can’t muster up things to write on paper.  My brain is fried from the summer and having all three kids at home all day long.  There’s never alone time, or quiet time to…
