I’m back after a long hiatus. I really didn’t mean to be gone this long but 2019 has gotten the best of me. It really has been one of the toughest years I’ve ever experienced. Our little family has lost several important people, changed jobs, dealt with some severe mental health issues, and lived through some real heartache. Years like this happen and I can usually keep a positive outlook but I’ve just struggled through.

There have been some really fun things that have happened while I was gone, like a trip to Costa Rica, my first solo trip, and a new member of our family (Stella, the French Bulldog! Not another baby!). I can’t wait to share all that stuff with you.

Blogging has always been a bit therapeutic for me and I’m excited to be back and share my thoughts with the world again! Check back soon to for more fun posts about books, food, travel, and life!
