I published my last blog post four days before my daughter was born in 2021. What a wild ride it’s been. We have the most wonderful toddler, Cassandra, and I have been focused on being her mother. I never meant to pause the blog, but it kept getting pushed to the back burner. As I was reviewing my 2024 goals for the year, I wanted to decide to either sunset this site or revive it. I started keeping a list of blog ideas on my phone- I wrote it down whenever I would think of a great post. Well, I have two months’ worth of content ideas just from doing that. I couldn’t stand the thought of never blogging again so here I am…back and better than ever.

Let’s Play Catch Up

What have I been doing for the last 2.5 years? For starters, raising my beautiful daughter, Cassie. She is such a joy and lights up my life. Adjusting to motherhood is not for the faint of heart. It takes a while before you figure out what you’re doing and start to feel like yourself again. But here we are not just surviving, but thriving.

If you followed me before, you might remember that I started my own business in 2019. You can read that post here. I’m about to celebrate my fifth business anniversary this year, and what a wild ride it’s been! I’ve learned SO much about owning and operating a business and I get better every day. These days, I’ve set up shop in a coworking space and have a more regular schedule with office days.

So what’s next? I have a number of topics I would like to cover including beauty, fashion, personal development, wine, and more! As I go along, I would love to reintroduce some of my TV fashion recaps, but I am embarrassingly behind on most shows (I’m still working through Charity’s season of The Bachelorette, so we’ll see how fast I can get caught up), and The Book Was Better Book Club is a high priority. Let me know what topics you loved from previous years and any you would like to see in the future.

One caveat is the backend of my blog. I know it’s a bit outdated and needs some updates (it’s from 2013). I will be making some changes here and there and hope to do a redesign at some point during the year. If you see anything that’s out of place or not working for you, leave a comment or send me a note and let me know so I can fix it.

Happy New Year! I can’t wait to see what this year will hold!
