Does anyone else see a trend with my blogging habits? Well now that our precious boy is here and I am officially on maternity leave, I'm finding myself needing something to do for me that doesn't involve Carebears, dirty diapers or negotiating with a toddler. With my last pregnancy, I dealt with postpartum depression and learned a lot about myself and how I deal with problems that come my way. I learned how important self care is, especially after having a baby. If you don't take the time and care for yourself and invest in your needs every once in a while, it's easy to fall into a dark place.
In all honesty, I forgot that I had started this little blog so long ago, but when I remembered it I thought, why not do this for me? It could be my outlet to the outside world, to adults, because all moms know how easy it is for days to pass without leaving the house when you're home with a new baby. Now i've probably watched one too many episodes of Flip or Flop and Fixer Upper these past two weeks, but I can't help it, they are addicting. I have so many thoughts in my head and projects in my house i'd love to share, even if this does end up being more of a diary than a successful blog.
So where to pick back up? How about a quick summary of the past 5 months: I finished (mostly) Lola's big girl room, decorated the nursery for the new baby, installed floating shelves in the kitchen, started on the board and batten in the living room, quit my job for something very part-time, oh and had a baby!!
So stay tuned for posts about all of the above and more. I've got nothing but time on my hands.
