Unplanned Hiatus

via

 I’ve been MIA the past couple days…kind of a big deal in my little world.

Since starting this blog almost two years ago, I have enjoyed putting out content consistently and reliably. But life happens and the blog had to be put on the back burner. Boo.

Thank you for your continued support despite my absence. I’m in the process of making some big changes around here and I will be back next week refreshed and reenergized, with more to come!

    I don’t know how you do it girl. I couldn’t give out one quarter of the amazing content you put out if I worked full time on it. XO

    No one understands this more than I do. I’ve been MIA consistently for a while now and I have to admit it’s kind of nice to put other things first!
