My dear readers,
I have been thinking. About so many things. First, life is busy. Very busy. It is an extremely happy, fun-stuff busy, but I am ready to sleep by the time bedtime rolls around.
Old building and field spotted on walk a few days ago.
I find myself doing things that I love every day. I walk. I play in the garden. I am organizing closets and rooms and my office area. I am learning the towns around me and all they have to offer. I am having so much fun with clothes it is not even funny! I am loving Mr. McLendon. And then it happens. I come here to post and I feel lost in my own blog. It is no secret that the focus of this blog has changed drastically over the course of the last two years. The face of my life is altered tremendously!
Thank you for staying with me all this time. Thanks for reading and supporting me. (Sort of feels like I am saying goodbye, but I’m not.) Let’s get to the point. I have a new blog for the fashion part of my life. For those of you who love the fashion reports and the silly side of me that adores clothing, you can check it out.
And for those of you who loved the home-y, homeschool-y, gardening, rambling nature of A Mother’s Journal, it is going to stay just that. Did I ever tell you that Mr. McLendon has a teaching degree? We think that we’d make a great pair of children’s book reviewers with our divergent backgrounds. ;D You can keep coming here for those kinds of updates and goings-on.
I will write about Annie Fatso Beagle. I will ramble like I used to. The dust has settled. I am Lynn McLendon, mother, once-upon-a-time homeschooler, sort-of artist, gardener, blah blah blah.
I hope you will keep staying with me. We have lots yet to talk about.
Enjoy this day!

Yay! I’m just happy I”ll have two places to “see” you on the web!
Emily, LOL. Looking forward to having C next week.
Love, Lynn
I am so glad you are not saying ‘good-bye’! Your new blog looks great. I look forward to following it too
Dear Sue, Saw you there! Thanks so much! xoxo Lynn
Dear Lynn,
I got a catch in my throat reading this post….for a moment, I felt you may be concluding your blog.
It was a sad, sad thought.
I’m so very happy that you decided to continue on. It is such a bright spot to check in on you in your corner of the world and catch up on the happenings.
Count me among those who will walk beside you, regardless of the weather, season or altitude!
With love,
your all weather friend and fan
Dear Jen, awww — you are so kind. I felt like I was trying to say goodbye with the wording, but I enjoy this blog and all the special friendships made, so I am not going anywhere! Thanks for walking with me in all seasons! Love you, Lynn
Good morning, Lynn! So happy you will continue the blogging. You are so right about changes in life and I love reading about your life and thank you for sharing the changes, good and bad, with us. I will go to look at the fashion blog but I think I am so interested in gardening and the daily life things .. I will mostly stick around here. Thank you for taking us along your journey, through the prickly paths and the sunny bright moments as well. You are my friend through thick and thin!
Love you – Terry
Good morning, Terry! Thanks so much! And I know I still need to do a skin care video.
My garden is coming along so splendidly! I wish you could see it in person. Every time I add something, it takes on more and more of a Lynn look. 
Thanks for walking with me!! Love you, Lynn
Glad you’re staying. I enjoy reading here. I’m happy for your new life. Do you think you will homeschool your daughter again? Does she miss it or is she happy now at her new school? We loved your dollhouse blog pages. Love your creativity:)
Ann
Ann, thanks so much for the well wishes and your kindness. I will likely not homeschool her again. Our lives have changed so much, and she really did make a remarkable transition to public school, with excellent grades, fun activities, etc. I do have to acknowledge the fact that we had a network of awesome friends (some homeschooling and some not) who supported Michaela through it all. And also she went to an excellent middle school. Not a typical public school, but a tiny charter school, so we have lots to be thankful for in that realm of things. I am not saying I wouldn’t do it at all, but it’s not likely. I may write about that soon.
xoxo Lynn
hi lynn,
looking forward to all your “ramblings”!!
your friend,
connie
Hi Connie, thank you so much! I do like to ramble. You can sure expect it. I feel like I have settled something that has been nagging at me. Your friend too, Lynn
Whew! I thought that you were saying goodbye too! So glad you aren’t. I love to read about your home and garden as well as your fashion finds, so I can’t wait to check out the new blog. Have fun putting it together!
Tanya, thank you! I enjoy reading your blog too! Wish I was in as good a shape as you are!! So far the new blog has been lots of fun. A definite learning curve. xoxo Lynn
Hi Lynne, I enjoy your blog and I am happy you are going to continue with it. I saw a blog that featured some potting shed ideas. I thought of you. I don’t know how to do the link thing, but the blog is called “Sweet Nothings”. Have a good week!
Hi Dana, thank you so much for telling me about that link. I will look for that and make a note of it. I do want to have a potting shed at some point. We have been talking about it. And thanks for your sweet comment. I shall continue on!
I hope you have a good week too! xoxo Lynn
I’m staying with you ~ So glad you are sticking around….I so enjoy your blog, it’s such a pleasant place to be!
Teresa in Texas
Teresa, thanks! I am glad you are here. Lots of rambling to do yet! xoxo Lynn
Love and miss you friend. I’m glad you are happy. (((Lynn))) Would love to catch up if you are ever this way.
Leslie, hey! I miss you and love you too. I would love to get together! Wish I could get Michaela to one of the gatherings some time. She misses everyone! Love, Lynn
