Catching Up.

Hey fam!

It's been a little while. Steemit has changed in big, exciting ways! Last time I was on it was slow and clunky and difficult, the difference is astounding.

I will definitely commit to coming around more often, I want to see what you guys have been up to!

So, what's happening with the children, you ask?

🌱puts on proud mama face🌱

🔥Sparrow has been given the school's respect award for the second year running. 2 kids in the entire school get this award, she's gotten it TWICE!

Her art skills are insane, she just keeps getting better and better!

🔥Inari has had zero bullying issues with the new school. No more talk of wanting to die.

His art has been selected by the Duluth Institute of Arts to be displayed the entire month of March at the Co-op!

🔥Little Willow is just as sassy as ever. I get a regular update of her shenanigans from her teacher. Including things such as declaring "This school is a prison!" and "The teachers are evil and want to kill my life!"

I find them hillarious, she's got a dark sense of humor, that little one. 😅

Despite these things, she has recieved the Student of the Month Award. Nice!!

The cats are just as awesome as ever.

Check out those #Albuskittydore toe beans!

The snow is melting and we plan on getting back to our #litterwalk activities soon. We've seen a lot of needles laying around, so that's something to look forward to. 😐

💚 Also, big thanks to the #steemcommunity we have now been in this house for 2 years!!! I will forever be grateful to this community for helping us out of homelessness when we were at our absolute lowest. 💚

Now, some of you may remember my #make2019yourbitch campaign. I had goals. Dreams. Aspirations.

🔥I did it. I made 2019 my bitch.🔥

Half-Breed is published and doing pretty darn well for an unknown #indieauthor with no marketing support!

I'm not just an aspiring writer anymore, I'm a published author!

The response has been overwhelmingly positive! Over 130,000 pages have already been read on Kindle Unlimited since it's release on January 23rd. You can check Half-Breed out right here for free!

I'm currently investing in a professional formatter to work out some kinks, as I am NOT tech savvy and I want it to look its best.

🔥Also, I'm working on book 2 #Witchling and so crazy excited! It's live for pre-order, and I've got a tenative release for August in mind, now that I have an amazing team of #betareaders and an editor on board!

I also landed that manager job I was after and I've put my hat in the ring to take an open AGM position. This would be life changing for the trio and I. It's a salaried position, I'd finally be able to start saving for our animal rescue dreams.

My #weightlossjourney has kind of been put on the back burner. In total I've lost 50 pounds. Fifty. Pounds. That means when I finally have the finances, I get to reward myself with some contacts lenses, hurray!

But I've still got another 50 to go. Really need to get back in track. My #actifit numbers have been solid, just haven't been posting them. 😅

The trio has my phone for #Netflix on the weekends, don't judge me. 😅😅😅

Tell me fam, brag to me. Tell me everything you're proud of since last we spoke so we can celebrate together!!

Glad to see you on the block Sis! Happy to read that the children are in thrive mode, and I have been following your published authorhood on fb, sooooo proud of you! It takes some serious dedication to write a book! Respect! And I know you'll break a leg on the second one too!!

Well.. I've continued blogging on the STEEM blockchain.. everyday.. without fail.. accumulated a lot of STEEM at low prices

That's awesome! And look how high your rep has gotten, congratulations!!
