Essential Solutions, Surprise Attachements and Kitchen Adventures

At the end of last year I was feeling a bit like I had lost some parts of myself. I was ending a job I thought was a great opportunity that turned into a huge pain. I was pregnant with my first child. I had lost that spark of creativity in the kitchen and with my knitting needles, and beyond those areas I wasn't even sure where I could be creative. I wrote the following excerpt to re-kick-start my blog and hopefully a bit more than just that.

Do you remember being a kid and thinking that every day, week, month, year seemed to take forever? I remember thinking summer vacation was almost un-ending. Oh what I would give to get that feeling back. Over the last year of working full time, I have noticed getting lost in work and forgetting to enjoy the good times.

Hiking In and Around the Beautiful Portland Area
October was a month full of weddings for my husband and I. You know what we realized attending all of these events filled with friends? That we have not been taking full advantage of our lives. In fact, we found ourselves attempting to fill every minute we had with them with excitement. Consequently, we both came home and promptly caught colds.
Its time for a change, and what better way to help remember how to track the beautiful moments of life than with the whole world on the internet? Please join me in this adventure!

Now, several months later, that blog has become dedicated to knitwear design. But there are so many more thoughts and projects and ideas that I want to document. Not the least of which is the adventure of becoming a parent and watching my little girl grow and learn and discover the world around her. It seemed as if a new blog dedicated to my adventures mothering, housekeeping, and wellbeing was in order. And with that I begin this new blogging adventure.
