Stinky Mouse 2.0

Hey!

Sorry if I startled anyone who still had this site in their RSS reader, but Wow! This blog was getting really, really stale! it was looking nearly as old and smelly as it's namesake!

I guess I just sort of lost my direction here. I started blogging over six years ago when we began our third son's adoption. Recording the story of that process was the blog's original purpose. Twice! :-) But then we finished adopting. So it became a "family blog". I loved blogging about my family, but Facebook actually does a much better job of sharing our family's stories with our friends and relatives. Also, there were lots of things I wanted to blog about that didn't actually fit into a "family blog".

After letting this poor little blog lie fallow for over a year, I think it's time to take it up again. I love where this blog has been, and I'm keeping all of it online and accessible through the archive links above. But Stinky Mouse is moving on. There's lots I still want to blog about. It will still probably end up being a lot about family, but I'm hoping I can do something here that I can't do on Facebook. So I'm reclaiming Stinky Mouse for my own directionless purpose. You're welcome to come along.

I can relate to everything you've said since I stopped blogging for almost a half year before finally getting back into the groove. I love your new banner! Did you draw that?

Anyway, I've updated my rss feed! :)

Hi Donna,
Thanks for commenting! Makes me wonder if anyone else out there is still following me?
And thank you also for your compliment on the banner. I did draw it. On my iPhone using an app called Zen Brush. It's three separate doodles put together in Pixelmator.

Yeah!!! Glad to hear you are going to blog again! I was getting fed up looking at your lovely sons toothless grin every week or so!
