Jumping back into the blogging world... Hold me!

I've been out of the blogging world for almost a year. Well, personal blogging world. I have a photography business blog, but I dont really count that towards blogging. I can say I've missed the opportunity to brain dump on a regular basis. When I first started blogging, in 2008, it was to capture the journey of IVF that my husband and I were going through. That IVF was unsuccessful, but in 2009, with continued fertility treatments, did get pregnant. I journalled my pregnancy and the first couple years of Liam's life. Then trying to balance motherhood, being a wife, working full time and just life in general, spending time writing became a chore. I decided to take a break.

Life has not slowed down, but I have often found myself missing the opportunity to get my thoughts out and to journal our life's experiences. Many things have changed since I last blogged-- I am still a mom, wife and work full time, but I also started my own small photography business, my hubby has retired from the US Navy and is now working overseas every other month. To say things havent slowed down is an understatement and often I am just trying to keep up, but I think jumping back into the blogging world will help me memorialize our life and keep it all straight!

What do I plan to write about in this blog? Great question! I plan to capture:

  • My life/ experiences/ challenges as a Mom to our AWESOME 4 year old little boy, Liam
  • My life/ experiences/ challenges as a wife to my wonderful husband, Gary
  • My aspirations to be a runner 
  • My hopes to lose some weight (always!)
  • My attempts to KEEP UP, but SLOW DOWN... and all that entails! 
Hope you will enjoy reading along!
