First of all I would like to apologize for being away from my page for so long. I appreciate all the emails asking me if everything was alright.  Apparently all Bloggers go through this stage every once in a while.

I had Major Blogger Funk!

There is just no way around it. There had been so many things going on in my family last summer that I decided to take a “short” hiatus only to have it extend much longer than originally intended.

As you know, my two older kids are from a previous marriage and although I have been most happily divorced from that one for quite some time and ecstatically remarried to the love of my life, the ex has not been so happy. Unfortunate, but that situation comes with unavoidable issues. The term misery love company comes to mind.

Anyway, after many many months of back and forth travel, court dates, intense negotiations, and a few thoughts of murder, we have come to a point where he is tired of stirring up trouble. Which means I can expect at least 4-6 months of peace. **Yes I am wishing hard***

Also in these past 8 months my hubby and I have been hard at work trying to catch a blessing in order to round off our most lovely family. I am happy to announce that after a few setbacks, we are now expecting our last little miracle.

Our entire family is absolutely besides itself with joy, hope, trepidation, and awe.

In other words….I am speechless.  And for me, that’s hard to do. :0)

So now that I have gotten back on the horse, so to speak, I am diving head first back into my blogging, cooking, recipe posting, book reviewing and who knows what else.

I am officially out of the FUNK!!

I am so grateful for all of you that have stuck by me throughout this past 6 months. It has been….interesting to say the least.

Love you all,
