An Update
Just a little update to let you all know that I’m still here. It’s been harder returning to the blog than I thought it would after my husband passed away in July. Creating that new normal is a lot easier said than done. However, I AM back to making & photographing recipes again. It’s just taken me a lot longer than I thought it would to get back to it all. When making recipes before, I’d ask Michael – ‘Is it blog-worthy?’ and he’d reply ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Not hearing that after making a recipe is a lot more difficult than I can put into words.
But I miss blogging. I miss that part of me – Mrs Happy Homemaker is me…. and I’ve lost too much in 2015 to give this up. I enjoy it way too much.
As I type this, I’m actually editing photos for a new recipe right now while eating breakfast at a local diner. See? Proof I’ll be back soon. How soon? Look for a new recipe this week! I love you all so much – thank you for still being here. xoxo, Crystal
(((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))) and prayers!
I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband. I can’t imagine how difficult it is to just find the energy to move forward with your life, and yet, here you are. I can only imagine how proud he would be of you that you have come back to your blog, and are able to throw yourself back into life once more. Keeping busy is the best way to help yourself heal, in my opinion. It’s good to see you back at it.
Take your time….God bless and a Happy and healthy new year!
Just to let you know my prayers are with you and your family. Time helps but it takes a longtime. College @[email protected]
Take your time to heal we will be waiting for you when you are ready! No one can put a time limit on being “ready” to move forward after a life changing event and it will come together and happen when it is supposed to! Hugs and prayers for strength and peace.

One step at a time. You’re doing great. Don’t worry about how long it takes just keep moving forward. It may be taking longer than you thought but its taking exactly as long as you need. Much love and healing to you.
Hang in there, Crystal. I lost my husband and love of my life almost two years ago. I understand a little of hat you might be going through but was not raising young children who are missing him too . It is just plain not easy and there are so many reminders but those also keep your dear one in your heart. You remain in my payers.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I love seeing you pushing forward at YOUR pace and not the pace of what the world thinks 🙂 You can do this. I know you can! Love you girl and pray daily for you and the kids <3
God Bless you! I can’t even begin to imagine how hard it must be to pick yourself up and move forward, but you are succeeding. The amount of time it takes is not as important as just plain old being able to get up everyday and learning how to just be again.
Keep doing what is right for you and you will get through. You will look back and see your own progress through this and that will amaze you down the road. 🙂
Sending Best Wishes & Prayers…..jus keep putting one foot in front of other.
Praying for you
You are doing great. Maybe one of the kids will be a good judge of blog-worthyness? In the meantime we all admire your grit and determination. And most of all your honesty.
I’m sorry you lost your husband. When you’ve had a loss in your life you know someone else is feeling it’s so hard to explain to someone who has not gone through it. My best friend friend has lost three members of her family last year, with one being her mother. A very sad time. I’m so glad you’re going back to your blog.
So sorry about your loss. Wishing you peace.
