Where have I been?

Well... that's a good question.  Primarily, I've been overwhelmed.  There was work, my husband going back to school, an adorable toddler and precocious preschooler needing love and care, and...

... preparing to welcome this little cutie into the world.

I was definitely overwhelmed and had to prioritize.  As much as I love blogging and sharing ideas with you all, it was time to give up "good things" in deference to "the best things."  I always find that to be one of the tough things in life.  More often than not, I don't find myself choosing between good and bad but between good and best.  And giving up good things is always hard.  I miss them.  But when they take away from something better, perhaps they are no longer good.  Do you ever face that dilemma?

Life is still crazy, but I am hopeful that I can start blogging again.  I've missed the outlet and community.  I'll be taking things slowly, but I look forward to being back.  And I can't wait to be inspired by you.
