I'm Baacckk...did you miss me?

To say that my life has been crazy the past year would be a huge understatement!! I was PTO president at the middle school, VP of fundraising at the elementary school, I volunteered in 3 classrooms once a week (on different days), took the kids to dance 4 nights a week and tried to be a good wife and mother in between. It was nuts!!!

The worst thing of all is that I was so caught up in being what I thought everyone else wanted or expected me to be that I forgot to think about who I am and who I want to be. All the things I love to do in my spare time kind of flew out the window. Things like crafting, working out and of course this blog. In the past year, I have done little to no crafting, very little exercise (I actually gained about 15 pounds) and of course no blogging.

So, after doing a lot of reflecting, I decided to focus on the things that I want and that matter the most of me. This means quitting PTO (there were a lot of bad experiences and I spent a year feeling completely miserable), starting to workout again (and make a goal to loose about 30 lbs), and of course start doing the things that I enjoy doing the most...which includes posting on the blog.

In the next few days, I hope to update the pictures on the blog and change things around a bit. Also in an effort to help me loose all this weight, I plan to blog my weight loss journey. I haven't decided if I am going to post those fun before, during and after photos just yet. The biggest thing stopping me from doing it is my fear of putting myself out like that. I will become extremely vulnerable by doing this and I'm not sure I'm ready to put myself out that much. But on the other hand, it might be good for me to see the changes...right?

At any rate, it's great to be back and I can't wait to get back to the things I love the most!!!
