How to be Awesome at Comebacks

I know it's been a long time since I've posted, but I had a baby.

Ugh.  Worst excuse ever.  Cats have babies all the time, and do they take a year off of chasing that little red dot?  No!

I was trampled by therapy llamas and have just now finally recovered.

Yeah, that's better.

Yeah, I know I said it before and then like, did one post, but it's for real this time.  I've been kicking around blog ideas for a while now, and I thought about starting another one, but honestly, I love this one, and it's lots of fun, so I'm sticking with it.

I will (hopefully) be posting regularly on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

So what am I going to post about?

Since I have a one year old now, some of the posts will be about stuff I do with her, BUT I know what you're thinking.  The world does not need yet another mommy blog, and you're right.  There are thousands of blogs tracking the growth process of individual babies or cataloging all the efforts of super moms.  That's not what this is.  I'll just do some posts about her, and other posts about other stuff in my life.  My life is not just about my baby.  I'm not going to go there.

Also, we (my family and I) are working hard to pursue a more natural, real food lifestyle, so I'm sure that will come up as well.  But this is not a food blog.

Probably home improvement stuff too, stuff I find on Pinterest definitely, and exercise stuff, 'cause I'm trying to get back in shape.

Basically, just like before, it will be about all the random things that I do or that happen, in no particular order and with no real rhyme or reason.  After all, it's about how to be awesome at everything.

I'm going to do a short post today, so y'all can go back through some of my older ones.  There's a list on the side of the most popular, so check one of them out.

Fist in the air, guys.  I'm back.

Unpause

I'm back!  Ok, so it ended up being a longer pause than I thought it was going to be, but there's a good reason, and most of you know it by now.

I'm pregnant.  Yay!

We found out two days after we closed on the house, and I commenced morning sickness/exhaustion exactly one week after we moved in.  Fabulous timing, right?

So everything got put on hold.  Unpacking, hobbies, cooking, cleaning, getting out of bed...everything, for six weeks or so.  Luckily, I wasn't actually sick for more than about a week.  The worst thing for me was the exhaustion.  Standing up was such a Herculean effort, that it didn't leave me much energy for anything else.  It was really weird. 

But happily, I am finishing up my first trimester now, and the energy is coming back slowly.  Still not up to where I was this summer, but that's ok.  I can do more than two things back to back now, which is a HUGE improvement on a couple of weeks ago.

Oh, and for the baby info:  little Cricket (our pet name for now) is due on March 26.  We will find out if it is a boy or a girl at the end of October.  We are super excited. 

That said, I am ready to start blogging again!  Instead of the daily posting schedule I was on for the summer, though, I am going to post Monday, Wednesday, Friday for now and see how that goes.  I'm excited about sharing a couple of things I've already done and lots of stuff I want to try.  As always, tell your friends, because it's super exciting to see lots of people reading the blog!  I don't know why it's exciting, but it is.  :o)

More coming soon. 

(Hint:  What do Pop-Tarts, ketchup, and cars have in common?)

The Pause Button

Most everyone knows that we are in the process of moving right now.  We closed on our house Wednesday, YAY, and I'll write more about that later.

I'm going to hit the pause button on blogging for a few days while we get moved in.  With my mom in town, boxes everywhere, and everything we're doing right now, I don't have a lot of time for crafting and/or blogging.  But NEVER FEAR!  I will be back, just as soon as we get moved in and get Internet in the new house, at which time I am sure I will have lots of amazing and hilarious stories to tell you.

In the meantime, make sure you are subscribed to my blog, either by following it with the little button at the top of the screen, or by adding it to your e-reader.  That way, you won't be the last to know when I start posting again!  That would be sad.
