Well hello, old friends. It feels good to be sitting at my desk with a cup of joe and a blank screen in front of me. Many, many things have happened since I last had a date with WordPress. Let’s play catch up.
While the whole world was falling apart in the year that we now quietly refer to as some kind of God-forsaken purgatory, I was completing my last year of college, doing yoga, nervously watching my husband go to and from the hospital for work, playing outside with my daughter, learning to crochet, binging everything on every streaming service, crying, barely reading anything for pleasure because: ANXIETY, and yes, growing my very own sourdough starter named Mildred. Somewhere in between all of that I also started developing a new life in my uterus. It was quite a year.
Amazingly, I am now a college graduate. When I started this blog, it was an outlet for me as a stay-at-home mom who needed a part of my day to feel more adultish and less kid-oriented. Then I decided to go back to school and that felt very, very adultish and not at all kid-oriented, so this little corner of mine sat on the backburner. But now I am again a stay-at-home mom to a cute kindergartener and a soon-to-be newborn, which is why I have plopped myself at my desk and placed my eager fingers on the keyboard.
So yes, I am back. I want to continue writing so I don’t forget how, and I want to ensure that I have a space just for me when my world feels overwhelmed with diapers and sippy cups and Micky Mouse Clubhouse. Which I am very excited for, by the way. Bring on all things baby!
You can still expect book reviews from me. Maybe the occasional rambling about whatever is currently occupying my mind (like, omg, can we talk about how Machine Gun Kelly brought pop punk back? Oh, and how about freaking Taylor Swift releasing two albums last year?) The person you once knew hasn’t changed much.
With all of that being said, I hope you guys are doing well and making it through this weird, weird time. If you have any book recs for me, drop them in a comment and I will check them out. Happy to be back in this space with you all and I’m looking forward to reconnecting. Cheers!
P.S.
What is up with the new editing feature on here? I feel like an elderly person trying to figure this out.
