You know why? I'm too busy keeping up my other blogs and I just don't have time time to post here too. I've known for a while that I was going to stop posting here. And it's okay because I have Livin' With Me where I post our daily fun happenings. I have Our Happy Happenings where I post my daily memes.

I really miss doing it, but it seems like it takes so much time to get everything out and set it all up, work on a page and then put everything away.
