Helloooooooooo!

I really am still here and I appreciate your comments and emails wondering about us! Man, oh, man has life been busy over the last couple months! To catch you up, here is a quick top ten list of things I haven’t blogged about:

1. Part 2 of our trip to Disney World, dedicated to our trip to the Bippity Boppity Boutique. It was the most amazing part of our Disney experience, and we’ll definitely be making appointments again next time we’re there!

2. My grandmother’s death. I’ve started this post in my head a million times since she passed away on January 2nd, and I just can’t do it. I can’t put it into words because my words won’t do her life or my grief justice.

3. Heading to Blissdom! In just 10 days, Sunshine Doodle and I (and my little sister!) will be hopping a plane to Nashville for the fabulous Blissdom Conference. I’m excited to connect with other bloggers, spend time with my sister and some of my best friends, and enjoy some kid-free time too! Oh, yeah, and Harry Connick, Jr. is performing live just for us. My husband says I’m giddy!

4. The fact that a certain baby is killing my sleep habits and therefore my productivity. Yeah, I went so far as to buy a Keurig single-cup brewer because I NEED the caffeine to get through the days!

5. Big changes coming! We are in the process of selling Sean’s Tastykake route. He will be a stay-at-home dad while I continue to be a work-at-home mom, and we’ll homeschool together. He is going to be fabulous at it, and I think my girls will be pretty lucky to have both of us at home! I’m looking forward to being able to focus on work during work time and my family during family time, so we’ll be a building a new office in the loft as soon as the sale goes through!

6. The Blizzard of ‘09. Holy moly — 2 feet of snow. The girls spent a week playing outside in the snow, coming in only to warm up, and they LOVED it! Sure hope we get another good one before the season’s over!

7. 31 Days of Organizing for a Better 2010. I took on this massive series at Organizing Your Way this month, and it’s been a lot of fun! Writing a full post every day has been challenging, but I’ve learned a lot about myself as a writer and blogger. (But I am kind of looking forward to the end now that we’re on the home stretch!)

8. Chubby, chubby cheeks. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by the rolls on this baby since she nurses half the night, but don’t you just want to squeeze her?!

9. A homeschool update. Eh, it’s going  okay. Been trying to balance a lot in preparation for Sean selling the business and me earning the primary income, so we’re a bit off-kilter again. We’re not behind, and I know plenty of people who unschool succesfully, especially in these early years, but it’s not my preferred style and I’m looking forward to getting back on track with an actual schedule.

10. Done, done, done. Well, I can’t say that we’re actually done, but for the first time, I do not feel the baby itch. I’m pretty sure what I feel is the opposite of a baby itch…I’m enjoying Sunshine Doodle but looking forward to moving past the baby stage!

P.S. I think I should start blogging here again just to get in my daily allotment of exclamation points…LOL!
