Howdy stranger! How I’ve missed you so!

A few of you have com­mented on my lack of blog­ging recently so I felt I owed you an expla­na­tion. There are a few reasons.

1. It began to affect my mar­riage. In a bad way.

I’m just keepin’ it real. Some­times blog­ging stresses me out. And well, some­times Vitaliy received the brunt of that frus­tra­tion. As com­mu­ni­ca­tion is key in every rela­tion­ship, he spoke to me in love and hon­estly shared his point of view. I could see where he was com­ing from and made changes accord­ingly by reprioritizing.

2. A new blog and new web­site are in the works.

I started shar­ing about some changes we’re work­ing on here and here.

Though it’s been a slower process than I would have hoped, I’ve come to learn that things don’t hap­pen overnight. I am happy to say that we have a new logo and our new busi­ness cards are com­plete. In addi­tion, our blog and web­site are in the works as we speak. So stay tuned — some excit­ing and fun changes are coming.

3. A new focus and cre­at­ing new content.

When our new blog and web­site launch, you’ll see that our busi­ness has a new focus. I have emo­tion­ally and men­tally made that shift so it’s hard to be moti­vated to write for this blog. Some things won’t change. We will con­tinue blog­ging about our awe­some cou­ples which is why it’s easy for me to write about them now. But the non-client posts on this blog have been kind of ran­dom. I basi­cally wrote about any­thing and every­thing. The new blog will be more cohe­sive and con­sis­tent. With the men­tal shift I’ve had, I’m cur­rently work­ing on con­tent for the new site instead of putting as much energy into this one.

I do have some great stuff to share on this blog in the near future that I know you’re going to enjoy. But if you’d like to be added to our mail­ing list and be the first to know when our new site goes live, sign up by enter­ing your email address below:

So what have I been doing? Well, with the extra time on my hands, I’ve been spend­ing some much needed time in the kitchen. Sur­pris­ingly, I’ve been lov­ing it!
