Loved hearing more about you, Stephanie. What's it been like being a mother to three, having grown up without siblings? Makes me curious. No worries if you'd rather not answer.
My husband and I have been together (22 years this Feb) about the same you and yours have been married. Our girls are 14 and 11. I grew up as one of 6 kids.
I am a social introvert also. Being in a big family, I learnt to zone out 🤣- can still become completely engrossed in a book in a busy room. But oh how I love the quiet all alone. Unlike you, I prefer actually being out in nature than just reading about it. I think it's also because I can escape people 🤣.
Hi, Anna! It’s nice learning a bit more about you, too! It’s been interesting to watch my girls form a sisterly bond. I'm so glad they have each other. I had a VERY hard time with the noise level in the house when my girls were younger and struggled with being around them all the time. I definitely didn’t know how selfish I was until I had children. I only ever had to think about myself. I don’t always understand the need to divide food evenly (like if there are 15 popsicles in a box, everyone gets 3 because there are 5 of us). We never did that growing up, and I just see it as first come, first serve! :) Is that an expression you use? Anyway, my girls like to know that they are getting their fair share.
I can imagine it being so beautiful to watch that bond develop between your girls and that you are so glad they have each other- something I am glad for for my girls also. And the noise level must have been huge having come from such a quiet background. I truly believe God knows exactly what we all need to be conformed into His image, doesn't He? I look back and am astounded at my own Mama and all she did for us kids. Having your own kids truly changes how you see your own parents- at least it did for me.
Ha ha- funny about the sharing. I remember having to be quick to get treats (which were rare and quickly gone in our house- also like in your home growing up- first come, first serve). My husband thinks I need to learn to eat more slowly- I think he's right. I look back now and wonder why we didn't just split things into halves and make sure it was evenly handed out.

I love Yorkshire tea, chocolate covered almonds, All Creatures Great and Small, sunrises and sunsets ❤️
I also love All Creatures Great and Small. Have you read the books? My daughter has, but I haven't yet.
I've read 3 of them so far. They are really good.
I love tea, books, chocolate and sleeping in. 🙂
Yay for all of these things!
