Subscribe to Our Newsletter for a Little More

Yesterday marked my 12th anniversary of blogging! I seriously can’t believe it. On May 12, 2007, I published this inaugural post about how I was moving to Denver and wanted to start a garden at our new rental property. Over the years, I’ve gone through phases where I have written more and gone through times when I have written less. I am now feeling “back on the blogging bandwagon” and hope that you will subscribe to our newsletter (see below) if you want a little bit more from Feeding the Soil each week.

I can’t believe how much has changed in my life since starting this blog. I’ve been blogging longer than I’ve been married! Matt and I were only dating at the start of this blog and were about the move to Colorado together to undergo Montessori training. We got engaged later that year, I turned 30 in February, married the year after, we moved back to Houston right after we got married, got pregnant three years later, gave birth to Henry, moved to Austin a year later, started building a house, got pregnant again, had a miscarriage, got pregnant again, gave birth to Tate, moved into our new house, and launched a school.

It’s no wonder that my time and energy for blogging have waxed and waned over the years! But this space is so important to me. It helps me:

• not feel so alone in the world
• dream big
• hold myself accountable for getting stuff done

I have met so many incredible people through this blog. Anna and her family welcomed us to Oklahoma on a road trip. I met Kelsey and Sarah. Meghan invited us into her beautiful life in Santa Fe. I’m going to meet Daphne in New York City in a couple weeks. I feel so lucky.

I also recently had a video conference call with kindred spirit, Julie. She is one of the most self-disciplined, organized, and Type-A people I know (that’s a compliment, Julie!). She’s the brain-child behind The Bossy House: Where In-Charge Women Live. She helped me learn how to set up a mailing list. I’m excited about being able to connect more directly with kindred spirits. My goal is to send out an e-mail once a week. Please subscribe to my newsletter if you are interested! (You can always unsubscribe if it doesn’t meet your needs.)

Happy Monday!
