I'm here. Just not feeling it. No ideas on what to blog…I'm not really making anything so I don't have anything to share. Just concentrating on taking care of the girls and staying busy. But I'm here. 🙂 Hopefully I'll be back to regular posts soon.
Determined to get through the gray and on to the sunshine.
I hope you all have a beautiful and blessed weekend.

Just a virtual hug and a wish for a great weekend. Hang in there! {{{{Steph}}}}
Hormones…I’ve always blamed them and I was right. When you reach Menopause, your life is always brighter. Since I am the same person, but now always in a great place mentally, I can only look back and blame those hormones. But then a good night’s sleep is also very useful. One day at a time.
Thanks candy. Over here its just pure sadness and worry. I know things will swing the other way soon.

sending lots of hugs and love and prayers Steph.
Thinking of you Stephanie. Sunshine is just around the corner xxx
and I know it would be silly to tell you not to be sad or not to worry…I would be too!
Stephanie, I think you need what we used to call a “Dog Pile on Mommy” moment. Nothing like giggling children piling on top of you to make you smile. Stay strong. The sun always comes out.
((HUGS)) Sweet friend, everything will look up! I am sure of it. Give those babies kisses, make some sweet tea, and hang out on a blanket in the sunshine.
Sending loving thoughts… with hugs. Take a deep breath and be in the moment with your girls.
Sending you blessings of comfort and peace! 🙂
do a blog post on your meal plan and workout plan and post some recipes that you have been making!!!
do a day in the life type post with iphone pix of your day! I love seeing what the girls post! maybe do a day in the life of each big girl, so we can see their drawings, art, papers they do, conversations with each girl etc!
hugs to you!

“Here” for you, S, for what it’s worth — someone you don’t know who doesn’t live nearby. lol Sounds like you’re still “standing” and just being where you are . . . which is all you can do.
Cyber hugs… we sometime feel like that on these days..
cheers.. hugs w family.
Great big hugs! Enjoy the girls & just stay busy. You deserve lots of sunny days. Just think how great it will be have Jimmy home everynight soon. But with everything that goes on in house, how is the poor man going to study!
Stephanie .. one day at a time. Take comfort from your beauties. Always remember that you are stronger than you know. To me, you are truly an unsung hero and I admire you greatly.
oh how much I’ve been there. hang in there. one foot in front of the other, one minute at a time. it is ok sometimes to not be strong too, give yourself permission to breakdown from time to time. you will not fail your beautiful family. whatever it takes to get you through is ok.
sending you love and prayers… know we are all here for you and love you!!! xoxo
You are strong enough to get through this; you’ve already done it so many times before. You’ll get through this patch, and it’ll be so worth it. I believe in you 🙂 Give each of your girls the hugest hug, and it’ll all be clear. Sleep also helps :p xxx
Hugs, prayers, and happy thoughts winging their way to you. Soak in those smiling wonderful gils and keeplooking for the sunshine. It is waiting for you.
Selfishly, I want you back RIGHT NOW. But for sure understand that you need to do what’s best for you and your family. If you’re struggling with what to post, I would love to see your Pinterest faves. But take your time. I am not going anywhere. Here’s hoping some inspiration, creative energy, and blog inspiration come your way soon.
HUGS!! Hang in there!
Hugs coming your way from Dallas! I can’t even pretend to know/understand what you’re going through, but please know that I think about your sweet family everyday.
xoxo

Oh Steph i’m so sorry for such sadness. The recent posts about the death of the soldier were heartbreaking and i cannot imagine how you all must be feeling.

Bigs HUGS Steph. Thinking about you, the girls and J.
Hugs and prayers coming your way from New Jersey. I have been thinking about you, your girls, and your hubby since your post about your friends. I cannot imagine how difficult this deployment has been for you, but I do know that you are one of the most incredible individuals / families I’ve ever read about. Hug your girls real tight… And J will be back home with all of you before you know it! And…take as long of a break as you need to, we’ll still be here when you feel ready to blog.
It is difficult for those not in your position to understand how you feel but please feel the love from all your ‘blogland’ followers & friends.
We all think about you, your husband and your gorgeous children.
These feelings & dark days will pass; you will be more positive in time. Best wishes.
I thought of you immediately! Praying for you girl!
I don’t know what else to say other than, many
People are thinking of you! And, I am keeping
Your precious family in my prayers! 🙂
Hugs coming your way! Give some to those beautiful girls, too!
I remember months ago emailing you and asking you for advice about WORRY. You told me prayer and faith gets you through the toughest days. Be still and know that He is in control. You’ve gotten through before and you will again. The sun will come out tomorrow….sending you hugs and happiness.
Thoughts and prayers from me too…
i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (philippians 4:13)
sending you love, friend.

No worries about blogging I’ll still be here when you can. I am praying for you and your family! Love seeing posts about your girls and would love to know what you think about all the new releases. Stay strong and the sun will come out!
Dare I say it? Dare me? Dare me? Well, just in case you want a Laugh Out Loud moment, I’m gonna say it: The last few times you lost your mojo, you were pregXXXX! No! I can’t say it! See, I knew you would LOL! Big hugs and lots of sincere prayers coming your way. One day at a time right now, sweetie. He’ll be home safely before you know it! Hugs!!!
Hugs to you. I hope the sun shines on your heart again very soon. 🙂 Have a lovely weekend with your girls.
Hope your weekend is full of laughs from all your girls! Maybe you all could make something pretty to blog?
I have been thinking of you too! Praying for you and your sweet family!
Big hugs to you! Brighter days are ahead. I hope every day is a little better than the one before. 🙂
Stephanie, I don’t know you either, but I am very much praying for you and sending you oodles of sunshiny moments.
Don’t ever worry about entertaining any of us. We’ll be here when you’re back in the blogging mood. Until then, concentrate on you and yours. Just make sure to let us know every few days that things are okay. We worry about ALL you guys. Sending huge hugs and prayers and lots of ♥.
Thinking about you everyday and admiring how you hold it together while going through so much worrying and taking care of your 4 girls on your own. Hoping for brighter days ahead.
hang in there friend! Hug the girls and drink some mommy juice boxes. Praying for you and yours!
hang in there Steph! Just to share again what I think I may have already told you, I admire you ladies, women (and families) of our armed forces, so much more since reading your blog. Thank you for sharing your heart with us most days and for keeping it real. Please know that I’m praying specifically for YOU, Jimmy, and the girls during his deployment. As for blogging ideas–I’d love to see how you’ve incorporated Pinterest ideas in to your everyday life. You’re such a genius at that kind of stuff!
Thinking of you and your family. This time tragedy has struck too close to home. Hope you are soon able to put on your happy face and carry on. I have always admired your ability to cope. Please know that you are always in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs Ann
Don’t know you other than thru this blog and hardly ever comment but just felt like saying that you are not alone. God is with you and his love and grace will sustain you.
My prayers and thoughts are with you Stephanie. Praying for peace and comfort and joy through the rough times! And safety for all of you. ((Hugs))
You are doing wonderful! Just bask in the love of your four little lovelies.
My prayers are with you, your family here and overseas. May God give you HIS peace, comfort, love…Sometimes it really takes the supernatural to make it through the days. You are a special lady. Hugs from Oregon
hang in there.
well, my last blog post was about bloggers block lol. Maybe it’s going around.
Blessings to you… always praying for a swift deployment and safe return home for your hubby. Sounds like he and my brother are on alternating deployments (also out of Hunter). Take care girl.
Just a little note to let you know you are in our hearts and minds. Ann
You are LOVED, Friend. 🙂
