See Ya Later…

totally tots be backYou may have noticed that 2013 has been a VERY slow year for Totally Tots.  There’s a reason for this.

Totally Tots will be taking a bit of a break, and not adding regular new content during 2013.  We have enjoyed having writing teams for the past few years and are so grateful for the time many moms have devoted to filling this blog with ideas!

Jolanthe and I are praying behind the scenes and seeking God’s direction for this site. If you are one of our subscribers, we’d love for you to stay subscribed so you don’t miss anything if we post! We have a few ideas between us and are just seeking God’s will for our future here. It is our prayer that by taking a time of rest from regular posting and managing a writing team, we will be able to do this.

We DO hope to be back!

During our time off from posting, we will be making design changes, so if you pop in and things look different, that’s why!


A huge thank you to all of the moms {with a link for those who still actively have a blog/site we can share} who have contributed as a regular writer at some point during the time Totally Tots has been online. If you click her name, you can see all of the posts she has shared here at Totally Tots, click her blog name to see her own blog!

I haven't frequented this site in some time, but it is on my reader. When I saw See Ya Later..., I had to read.
Well... ladies, I cannot believe it's been 4 years. I remember when Carisa was discussing on her personal blog about starting Totally Tots.
A big congrats for such a successful run
...so far.

I'm confident God has used this little place on the big web to His glory.
