Year In Review

 It has been almost an entire year since I created this blog, and almost an entire year since my last post. 2012 was a craaaazzzzzyyyyy year. Think that might be hyperbole? In May 2012 I gave birth to our beautiful daughter Kaitlin (the happiest baby I have ever met - I don't expect that to happen twice...). I spent the summer trying to garden like I had planned only to find that my expectations for new-motherhood were a little steep. It's a good thing I have a wonderful husband who helped me when he could and a great friend to co-garden with who picked up pretty much all of my slack. The summer also brought the one year anniversary of purchasing our home and moving in (trims still have tape around them and some even still need the last coat of paint!).

 Then in Autumn my sister-in-law was diagnosed with Crohn's disease so we asked her to come live with us. We had a spare room and she needed to get out of the parents house. I've spent the months since then learning about Crohn's, low fiber diets, and what long term exposure to prednisone actually does to a person. Suffice to say, the ladies of the house have had some interesting days between baby mood swings, pre-natal mood swings, prednisone mood swings and just plain old PMS! (my poor husband!) 

 This year I am going to try something new. Or, actually, quite old. I'm going to attempt going back to journaling and I'm going to use this blog to do it. I love the idea of sharing my thoughts with strangers who happen upon my musings and I love being able to add pictures too! I make no promises, but I'm hoping to make this at least a weekly adventure if not more frequent. 

See you soon!
