Happy New Year!

Ah, a new year.  The gyms fill up, diet plan commercials fill the screen, and lists are made.  I wanted a fancy pen for Christmas this year, and I was delighted by the inscription on the box– “she writes to-do lists for her to-do lists.” Yes, yes I do.

In all fairness, I don’t reserve my list-making for the new year.  But I did find myself sitting down with a notebook any my pretty new pen to plan out the week.  Of course, a kiddo whose birthday is the first week back complicates things, so my list is super long, filled with shopping trips, party planning, and baking, baking, baking. But this little old blog made the list in a couple of places, too.  I hadn’t intended to take such a hiatus as the year wrapped up.  Let me assure you, I am healthy. Just busy and worn out like any other mom out there.

So in true-to-myself form, on today’s list was to make another list.  Post ideas for this spot.  Several of the ideas on that list have been floating around in my head for a while.  I’ve gotten a few questions lately, either in person or in the comments on a post, and that has left me thinking that I should have a series of post based on reader’s questions.  While there are already a few in my queue, I’d love to know what you want to know. I’ve said it before, you can’t embarrass me with your questions, so ask away!

Happy new year to you all. I hope you enjoy settling into a routine after a break as much as I do.  And stay tuned, because though I’m not much of the resolution making sort, I resolve to get back into a routine here on the blog, too.
