Well, that was a longer break than I intended! Life has a way of pulling me in different directions, and somewhere along the way, my little blog took a backseat. But now I’m finally back, and hopefully, I can be more consistent moving forward.

The world outside is changing, and with it, so is my daily rhythm. The weather is getting warmer, the days are stretching longer, and for the first time after the long winter, there’s actually something to do in the garden. It feels good to be outside again, getting my hands in the dirt, watching everything slowly wake up.

Of course, with the return of outdoor adventures also comes the return of less-welcome guests…ticks. Living in a wooded area, this is always a concern, and unfortunately, my eldest daughter brought one home. So now she’s on prophylactic antibiotics as a precaution. It’s a reminder that while spring is beautiful, it also comes with its own set of challenges.

On the brighter side, my seven month old is finally sleeping through the night, 7 PM to 7 AM. I can’t even put into words what a difference this makes. Mornings feel lighter, coffee tastes sweeter, and our daily walks are no longer about survival but about enjoyment. There’s something about stepping outside, feeling the sun on my face, and breathing in fresh air that makes everything feel a little easier.

So, here’s to new beginnings, both in nature and in this little space on the internet. I’m back, and I can’t wait to share more with you all.
