2014 was a really big year for us. The biggest change was that we transitioned to a family with two
school-aged children. Suddenly, the house was empty five days a week. In a flash, we went from spending our evenings making homemade baby food to spending our evenings doing homework and driving kids to activities. Ouch. So, basically, I had a bit of an identity crisis. It was just more difficult than I anticipated to make that transition. In January 2014 I joined the "One Little Word" online community and chose "THRIVE" as my focus word for the year. Throughout the year I spent a lot of time reflecting on what it means to really thrive and to create a home where our family can really thrive as well. It's been really fun looking back on the highlights of the year for lots of evidence that the Schneiders are indeed thriving!
