Four Hundred and Seventy-Eight

It's been a while since I have posted here on the blog.  478 days to be exact.  After my last post and transitioning from being a working mom to a stay at home mom I didn't really feel like blogging.  I was having so much fun being home all day with my then one year old.  I was also figuring out how to run a household, chase after a toddler, and maintain my sanity.  Every once in a while I would get an idea for the blog, but I never felt like I had the time or energy to take pictures, write a post, post about it on Facebook and Instagram, etc.  As I struggled with whether or not to keep this blog going over the past 16 months I knew one thing for certain: I do not want to publish a post just for the sake of posting.  I do not want to post fluff.

All of that being said, I have had a seed planted in my heart the last couple of months that I feel like I can no longer ignore.  I love blogging (even though I am a complete newbie and don't quite know all of the ins and outs).  It is a great creative outlet for me and I have fun writing posts.  Over the past year I have kept feeling an urge to write posts.  Of course, my best ideas come when I'm driving and by the time I am done driving I can't remember them.  It's as if as soon as I open the door all of the brilliant ideas and inventions I had just thought of float out of the door.

So I'm here to say that I'm back.  I hope that I will be able to post more regularly and definitely more often than every 16 months.  I have some things that I'd love to share with you all and as long as I don't forget about them before I can get the words onto my laptop screen I hope to share them with you soon.
