Hello friends (old and new)! I have thought about my blog a lot in the past few years, but I wasn't sure where to start writing again! I was glad to find 
For those of you who don't know, I joined Steemit about 5 years ago and published regularly. Then life got (what I thought was) too busy, so I stopped blogging. Little did I know...
I am originally from Texas, but five years ago, we moved to the mountains of Panama. We have 6 kids - four boys and two girls. Our youngest daughter was born here in Panama almost 3 years ago. She is the blondest Panamanian I know!
We are a Christian family who homeschools and have a small farm here. We are constantly adding new animals and projects around here. We own a neighborhood, and my architect husband has many plans for it. I will save all these details for other blog posts. Life is never boring!
When Covid hit Panama, things changed so much. People became paranoid and hid in their homes and behind masks. It was so sad to see our normally friendly country become reclusive. The regulations were very strict at the beginning - allowing each of us out for 2 hours total once a week - based on gender and passport/ID number. Masks are still mandated in stores here, and they took away the mask mandates last month for outdoors. We still see very few people outside without masks! We were so thankful to have friends in our neighborhood since kids were not allowed out in public - at least ours could still go play with friends!
About two years ago, my husband and I were interviewed by Panama Relocation Tours. We were asked to talk about our town and why we moved here. We love life here, and we can't imagine being anywhere else. If you get a chance, check it out here: .
I look forward to being able to blog here more regularly and getting to know more of you on here. Blessings to you!
