<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes! Such good advice!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And really where I am at these days since sweet Bennett arrived.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We all have won the lottery with this sweet boy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well let's be honest...Steve and I have now won the lottery FOUR times!<br />Honestly we have FOUR truly amazing kiddoes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But when a little one comes along like this...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when your other babies and now BIGS...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's special.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I look at Macey who will be 22 years old in just a few weeks and I think...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wow where did the time go?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It seems like yesterday that sweet baby girl was just beginning her life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And whoosh like that...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
three kiddoes at 22, 16, and 13! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It just goes by SOOOO fast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I need to remind myself...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
whenever I start to do the...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh I need to get in the studio...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or Oh I should apply for more shows/markets...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or Oh shouldn't I be accomplishing more...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Smile, breath and go slowly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because in going slowly I get to see the moments...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the moments that make this life so beautifully grande... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
moments like these:</div>

No really you should!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cause you'll be able to kick your feet up...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and hang out if your pjs all morning long...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on week days...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that would never happen if you were at home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Do not drive up public dirt roads that take you to lots of people's private property...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
cause you might get followed by...</div>

an old veteran with a few teeth...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who drives a subaru...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and he won't be happy!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Montana is our home state...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and we all feel a very strong connection to our beautiful home state.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A pull to once again call it home...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but until then we will steal away as often as we can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We knew it was going to be good when we passed this only an hour into our trip...</div>

It was a getaway so filled with all things great.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A night in Missoula...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what a beautifully fun place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Missoula was where Macey, Steve and I shared our first home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a short stay and we were off to Whitefish...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a beautiful drive from Missoula to Whitefish...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Flathead and all it's beauty NEVER get old!</div>

I am sure I am leaving a few things out but the gist is...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there are many things that can fill my life with greatness...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
leaving no room for the things that make me crazy!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is no room for...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
comparing...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
competing...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
looking for what is wrong with me or any given situation...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
trying to newt-ify the penguins around me...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(thank you Katie and Gay Hendricks)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
expecting rather than giving...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
trying to be someone I am not...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or wishing I was more like someone else...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or jealous of someone's talents...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or pining for ther people's approval or to be part of the in crowd. </div>

So with that being said...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am shutting off comments... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am going to post away without a schedule or any commitment...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just for fun and when I feel like it... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
going to stay away from facebook for a while...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will still post links to blog posts and post photos and new product updates...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I am not going to check in all the time to see how many likes I have...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or to see who approves...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or to comment back... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because I LOVE Star Hitched Wagon and the products I create...<br />
and I love to share our life, my crazy lists and likes... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing will change that...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know you do to...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that's why you are here and there!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
