Farewell My Friends

Dear Friends and Readers,

After many years of sharing stories, ideas, and adventures on staceyrobinsmith.com, I’ve made the difficult decision to close this chapter and shut down the blog.

When I started this site, it was simply a place to share thoughts – but it grew into so much more. Together, we explored everything from parenting challenges and classroom experiences to woodworking projects, food adventures, and photography experiments. Some of my favorite moments include:

• The many, many artisans who trusted me to provide honest feedback and sometimes criticism about their creations, especially the people who work with leather. So many of you were willing to share with me the durable and long-lasting leather bags, belts, and wallets.
• The “Cooking with Stacey” posts, where we discovered the joy (and occasional chaos!) of home cooking.
• The heartfelt stories about life as a parent, which connected me with so many of you on a personal level.

Your comments, emails, and encouragement have meant the world to me. This blog was never just mine – it was ours. Thank you for walking this path with me.

Although the blog will be shutting down, the memories and connections will remain. Who knows? Maybe new projects will emerge – you can still follow me on Instagram as well as my occasional (mis)adventure videos on YouTube.

Until then, thank you for being part of this incredible journey.

With gratitude,
Stacey Robinsmith
