My first blog dry-spell and self-care

I will not apologize for my lack of posting because life happens, teens and homework happen, a general lack of inspiration happens. And I am at peace with that. I will say that I do miss the processing and creativity that this blog provides me an opportunity to do. So I’m hoping to be back in the swing of things and ready to bust out some posts this weekend! And until then, a cute pic of my favorite boy during my favorite time of day (edited by my new favorite photo app A Color Story):

 This weekend, I made a last-minute decision to spend the weekend at a scrapbookig retreat and it was seriously some medicine for my soul. I had an amazing tablemate, lovely conversations with old friends, and my own nights in my own quiet dorm room. With hours to do nothing but craft and relax, I came to realize that this is such a missing piece for me. This full time of our lives is EXACTLY when I need to be making time to fill my tank back up in this manner. Pictures beware – you’re about to be mass uploaded and printed and headed to a Costco printer!
