Here I am back in the blogging world after quite a hiatus. I loved my old blog, but as time goes on life changes. Although somewhat fun to look back on, that blog reflected a former life, a time of trying to fit in, to find my voice. I didn't really cringe at all when I hit the delete button and six years  of blogging disappeared.

Now, I'm a 30- something woman. I'm more settled and I need an outlet. It did not help that my former profession was in the writing world so my energies and love of writing went to that. Now, I get to write for fun, for me, more intentional.

My life is full of family, work and maintaining and fixing up a house. I love to cook and read and try new things. This blog will reflect a lot of those things and hopefully much, much more. So, welcome to my little corner.

How We...Wednesdays!

Eeekk!! This is my first blog post in, well years. I used to love blogging, but then I had an actual writing job that in the end was more demanding and writing in any other form was the last thing I really wanted to do. But, I've been out of that job for two years and my soul needs to write again. I love this How We Wednesday Goals/Resolutions  because starting a New Year with fresh perspective, clarity and brand new beginnings and a year full of possibilities is one of my favorite things. I thought this was perfect way to reignite my bog, because my goal this year is to blog more...once a week would be more than what I've done in recent years but I really want to blog at least three days a week if not every day, but baby steps. Love- So far, 2018 has been crazy because I got engaged after Christmas!! This can be a post all it's own, but I just turned 37 and I'm finally getting married. I was starting to think the single life was going to be it for me, as were ...

How I take care of myself

Happy Valentine's Day! Some people I know dread this day, but I love it and one of the main reasons has nothing to do with love. January is such a dull month, especially since it is right after the sparkle of the holidays so it is nice to have something to decorate for and celebrate. :) So, wishing you all a happy day whether its spent with your sweetie, children, or a Galentines Day out, believe me, I've had many of those days and they are some favorite memories. Moving on to How We Wednesdays and today's topic of How do I take care of myself.  This is a great topic and I'm looking forward to reading everyone else's tips. For me, how I take care of myself is focusing on eating well and exercising at least five days a week because my health has dictated changes in my life. Rewind to last year when I went in for my annual check up and the nurse practitioner said my sugar levels were on the "jumping point of being high." :( Not even pre-diabetic but en...

My son's birth story

As we approach my son’s third birthday, I thought I’d share his birth story. Yes, it’s cliche, but the day he was born, is one I will never forget, and I think so fondly of it, despite a few unexpected turns.  I had a very uneventful and healthy pregnancy...zero morning sickness, good energy levels. Except for the fact that I had a protruding stomach, felt a little off balance, had difficulty breathing and  my ears plugged every day during the last trimester, I felt great. I do credit a lot of that due to the fact I was able to workout the whole time.  My due date was June 5, and I started maternity leave one week prior.  I wanted as much vacation and sick leave in the books, but taking just one week was stressful because I felt like I had a lot to do still - finalize the nursery, prepare more freezer meals, clean everything again, and I even made some of those padsicles for post partum healing. My first weekend off and up to my due date, I kept saying, “the baby doe...
