Can you believe it's the last Friday of April already? I surely cannot. It's the last Friday I get to spend at home with my little man. Cue tears. But let's get to some fun Friday things shall we?

New Elliptical

This beautiful machine arrived yesterday. Can we just call it a push present?

We had a treadmill for a few years that we used A LOT. It started to stick and sound squeky, so when I called to have a repair person come they mentioned it would $150 just to look at it then who know how much to fix. Adn when the treadmill only cost you a little over $300 you decide to get the elliptical you had been wanting. Now I have no excuse not to get back in shape. I was on this for maybe 10 minutes yesterday and my legs felt like absolute jelly.

Lawn mower

Another fun gift arrived this week. Being homeowners is fun. And Lucas loved staring at the box for a good ten minutes. Do whatever you can when you can't get him to stop crying. 

Cat & Nat

One of the fun things I discovered when I was on maternity leave was these two moms. They make the funniest car videos (mom related) and run a live show at 12 pm every day. Seriously, they are a hoot, you must check them out. 

Morning naps

This little guy might be going through a growth sport, wanting to be up every few hours a night again. These morning naps have been getting me through. Sure going to miss them when I go back to work! Also, how am I am going to function?

This blog

I am so excited to be back and be writing again. Get ready for some mom zingers comin your way!

We are looking at some summer weather coming our way tomorrow and we might consider attending a local BaconFest. What are your plans for the weekend? Have a great one!

Hey There

Your eyes do not deceive you. This is an actual blog post..cue the gasp. Myself included. Maybe you have some questions about the new look I got goin on and the fact that I am actually writing a blog post.

Are you actually back, like for real?

Yes I am. there's an itching inside of me lately that has been wanting to get back to this space. I think since becoming a mom I need a little something to call my own and this is just the answer.


Haven't you heard this before?

Yes, you have. I said this probably about a year ago around this time. I had big plans to come back to this little space and give it some life. Then two little lines appeared on this stick I peed on and well, life just became a little crazy. And a whole lot more cute.

But this time, I mean it. I am committed to showing up here. There are at least a dozen drafted posts I had started and never quite got to hit the post button on. Some pregnancy, some just general life musings. Probably some coming mom related.

What can you expect?

Posts a few times a week. I won't get carried away and say every day. That would just set me up for failure.

Will it be a mommy blog?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I'll definitely chat about it as it's a huge part of my life now but I still want to have other topics as well.

Can you come back from this long of a blog break?
For now, I am still just trying to figure out how I can get my blog life back. Those that are bloggers understand what I mean. Once you take a break, it can seem overwhelming to jump back in. The blog world has changed so much in the past year. Am I ready to be a part of this new jungle?

Only time will tell I guess...but you tell me, how do you come back from a blogging break? Any tips to give me?
