The Happy Hofmanns: August 2016
http://thehappyhofmanns.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 19, 2016. Mom Thoughts On The Internet. I'm thinking out loud here. This post is not pointing fingers and it's not based on anything that other people do. It's my own introspection on the things I've been wrestling through as of late. And, I hope it will invite dialogue as well. I would love to know other people's thoughts and how they have navigated through these very things. Seriously. Do you consider these things before you post? What barriers do you have up to protect your children?

The Happy Hofmanns: May 2016
http://thehappyhofmanns.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 16, 2016. I've been thinking a lot about blogging lately. Writing has always been my thing. It was pretty much my major in college and it's a good way for me to get outside of own head. It's therapeutic like that. But here's the dilemma. I feel like I have a lot to say, while at the same time feeling like I don't have anything to say at all. Here's what I mean. I could write about myself, but how do I do that in a way that isn't self seeking? I just need to figure out the balance of what that...

The Happy Hofmanns: September 2016
http://thehappyhofmanns.blogspot.com/2016_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 23, 2016. Mom Thoughts On The Internet Part Deuce. Last month I wrote about some of my thoughts, questions and concerns on the internet, it's influence over my life, and it's affect on my parenting. News flash: I have not arrived. Will I ever? There is so much time in a day! Without my phone constantly on me, I have been more able to slow down and enjoy the moment. We have spent lots of time laying on the floor as a family, the kids crawling over and playing with and on us, and have...

http://thehappyhofmanns.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-good-things-in-life.html
Wednesday, October 5, 2016. The Good Things In Life. Just a little post about some of the things that have brought me joy as of late. Built in help around the house all throughout the week? Yes please. Keep it coming. You know how when you were a kid, your parents would up your bedtime the week before school started to get you used to the school schedule? I tried again the other day and they were perfection. Here's what I did. I just put a fourth a cup of oil in the bottom of a skillet, stirred i...For t...

The Happy Hofmanns: November 2016
http://thehappyhofmanns.blogspot.com/2016_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 25, 2016. Advent starts on Sunday and I could not be more excited about the holiday season. All of it. Decorating the tree while listening to Folk Angel. Hot chocolate and Christmas lights and long drives. Home Alone and Elf and Die Hard. And woven through it all, teaching our boy the tradition of Advent as we gather together each night to celebrate who Jesus is and the beauty of His name. This year I am determined and ready to celebrate Advent with my people. What is Jones like? Wednesd...
