I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your love and support. This year has been very challenging as we had an unexpected health crisis mid-year… right after we had torn our master bathroom out. This meant that went on the back burner, but we will be starting that in the next week or two as it is a NEED now more than ever. We had planned to make it handicap accessible for Shyanne, and we really need to make it happen ASAP.

We also welcomed a new grandbaby to the family this past FALL. We have spent the last two months just preparing our hearts and homes for this holiday season so we can make special memories for our families to look back on.

This year has been full of memories from our Biblical Feast Celebrations to the fun Hobbit Day Feast. We also held a Winnie the Pooh themed Baby Shower and our annual Polar Express... don’t forget St. Nicholas Day and our Bethlehem Dinner as well. I forgot to take pictures this year. We’ve also had quite the year with our garden and we started working on making new videos for our YouTube channel too.

We have also been blessed to have my mom visit with us as we haven’t seen her in quite some time. Our routines and schedules have changed quite a bit as we have added new people to our household, but we are steadily finding a new normal. We look forward to the coming year as some of the family plan to move closer which means we will get to see the little ones even more!

I started blogging because others encouraged me to share some of what our family was going through at the time. We had a lot going on as we had more than doubled our family in less than 3 years and we had begun homeschooling.

Shared Bedroom Makeovers… Two become three

Published on by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog9 Comments

As many of you already know, we bought this house and it has already been well-loved. It was definitely in need of some TLC… a bit more than we had realized at the time but we’ve been making improvements as time and budget have allowed.

We had a lot of hopes and dreams for this house when we first moved in but there were so many issues that happened and had to be dealt with that we just had to focus on those. Plus the pandemic had just started, we were dealing with an unexpected high-risk pregnancy and then a stressful premature birth with a NICU stay and other complications, and then when we thought things were getting better we were sidelined by an unexpected leukemia diagnosis.
