I'm baaaaccckkkkk!

Y'all. I've been MIA for a while. I realize that. And, believe me, I have the most adorable, cuddly, precious, perfect excuse.




 Meet Charlotte. She was born November 1, 2012 and she has made our lives fun, busy, sometimes overwhelming but always joyful.

I'm not going to sugarcoat it- babies are a LOT of work. I know, I know, you already knew that...well take your expectation of how much work they are and then multiply that by, oh about, 185%. Then add 10. Whew. So, long story short, that's why I've been gone.

I've had so many encouraging comments from some of you that I was missed. You have no idea how much that meant to me. This little ol' blog started as a creative outlet for me and it felt really great to know that other people enjoy yummy food, fun crafts and funny Friday jokes as much as I do.

I've had urges the last six months to blog again but they quickly are distracted with a dirty diaper, a baby smile or giggle and usually rarely with the desire obligation to take a shower. (Yikes.)

I've been waiting to blog again until I really missed it. And I do. I miss sharing with y'all. Gosh, that's a good feeling.

I can't promise that I will blog daily. And I can't promise that I will take lots of food pictures. And I might just link you straight to the recipe and use their pictures (giving them credit, of course).

But, I can promise that your kitchen will be full of yummy dinners and sugar filled desserts again. I can promise that you might be inspired to get crafting on a Saturday afternoon. I can promise that you will laugh at silly videos, most likely of Sophia Grace and Rosie. Those are good promises that I plan to keep.

I also promise this won't turn into an all baby, all the time blog. But I can't promise that sometimes a picture or video of our sweet girl won't turn up on here. Y'all, she's just so stinkin' cute!

So, in summary, thanks for waiting for me. It feels good to be back.

Get your spatulas ready for scrumptious recipes comin' at ya next week.
