My 463rd return to blogging!

I’m probably exaggerating and this is only my 455th return to blogging. A lot has changed since my last post. The biggest thing is that I had a baby, and I’m taking a year off of teaching to be a SAHM. The baby part is mostly what I expected, but the SAHM stuff is fairly weird. I don’t think I’ve figured out my groove without work yet.

Aside from baby, things that being home has taught me already (2 months in….)

1. My house is cleaner, but less clean?! I’m organizing all the nooks and crannies, but the dishes still pile up and the laundry presents a never-ending Mount Doom.
2. I need to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE every day for a least a little bit.
3. The Property Bros are dangerous. I am in my house so much now I want to change things in every room. I found myself picking up a hammer after watching HGTV and thinking, “Hey I can demo and install a new back splash today!”
4. My old hobbies are great, but a little hard with the tiny human, so I need some more flexible pursuits.
5. I spend more money despite earning nothing now.

I am making cookies again! More on that to come next!

Behold my new 3 tier cooling rack. I feel very baker bad ass right now.
