Last week was pretty raw, I know.

My hope is that someone out there can relate to my honesty and no longer feel alone. Or that someone else now has a better understanding of what a loved one may endure if they are struggling with endometriosis and/or infertility.

“Trying for Baby…with Endometriosis” was a candid look at where I am in real life at the moment.

All right, y’all, I think it’s about time we take a slight step back away from all this Streams in the Wasteland promo here on CWC.

I know I could probably go on talking about it forever. It’s a pretty huge deal for me to be able to say I accomplished the task of writing a devotional eBook. And I desperately want to get this FREE resource in your hands, but, as they say, the show must go on.

Whew, these past few weeks here on Country Wife Chronicles have been a bit heavy, haven’t they?

First, there was grappling with my recent endometriosis diagnosis. Then, last week was Infertility Awareness Week, so I decided to put my brave face on and open up about Wildland Man and I’s struggle to have a baby.

This week, it is time for a change of pace.

Now, this is not to say that endometriosis / infertility is taking up any less headspace for me; I’m really just in need of a bit of an emotional break for the moment.

Well, we’ve finally come to the conclusion of our first blogiversary series here on CWC. We’ve really done a lot of unpacking over the last few weeks, haven’t we?

We dug deeper into the inspiration behind CWC to find a whole lot of casseroles. Yeah, you’ll have to go back to Part 1 to see for yourself.

We detailed the not-so-scripted launch of this country blog into the world in Part 2.

We are quickly winding down our blogiversary series here at CWC. The month of March will kickoff a whole new series for y’all, but I’ll be getting to that a little later on.

I’ve been having so much fun with this series; I hope y’all are enjoying it as much as I am! I have thoroughly appreciated taking a look back at the history behind CWC, the story of our launch, and sharing some lessons learned over the past year, as well as a few of my favorite blogs to boot.

Country Wife Chronicles celebrates country roads, less is more, and a wildfire marriage.

I hope that you have found a connection here at CWC. That you have been able to find your likeness in the Country Wife.

Maybe we share the same joys and simple pleasures of living the country life. Perhaps you are a fellow fire wife seeking out another soul who just “gets it.” Maybe you relish the quiet solitude of a still country morning.

So, last week I gave you a bit of the backstory behind CWC.

Country Wife Chronicles certainly wasn’t conjured up overnight; it was definitely an evolution of ideas to get here.

And today, in Part 2 of the Country Wife Chronicles’ blogiversary series, I’m going to share a little on the details behind the official launch of CWC.

It was late January 2016 when Wildland Man and I officially purchased the Country Wife Chronicles domain. And though I was preparing and posting blog articles later that year, CWC did not have its official launch until February of 2017.

So, here we are at the start of 2018, and I think it might just be time for a bit of a celebratory blog post series. One that takes a look back at how Country Wife Chronicles has become what it is today.

I LOVE winter. It is my very favorite time of the year.

And though it may sound crazy to some of you, it is my very favorite time of the year to get outside. There is so much magic and beauty in the winter season, if you’ll just step outside of your warm house to explore it.

I’ve been spoiled this year, since moving to the south I’ve so missed my northern snow-filled winters.

It is a new year and as you might have noticed, I ended my 2017 a bit on the frazzled side. So, today, I decided to share with you a no-hassle quick and easy breakfast recipe. One that you can throw together in minutes and enjoy shortly there after. Perfect for a light snack on this Monday morning!

Now, I’ll be the first to admit that this recipe, though it is gluten-free, probably isn’t considered the healthiest option out there.
