It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I had the best intentions to post something once a week, but over the past few months that kinda didn’t happen, did it?

Well, here’s to the best of intentions, and recognizing that sometimes, a break is needed. Especially if you feel like you’ve been running too far, too fast, for too long. Or if you need to find the happy again. So if you’re looking for someone to give you permission to take a break, to take a breath, to take a beat, you have my permission. Do want you need to do to take care of you!

Taking a break “Kegger style” can mean a couple different things, and over the past few months, I feel like I’ve attempted most of my disconnect activities….

MM and I have gone to a few places, safely – including one of our favorite domestic cities, and a couple family gatherings…

There was a Girls’ Trip that I took with friends, and an outing to an art experience with MM…

And I’ve been reading a fair amount, and playing video games as well. Basically just relaxing as much as humanly possible, as my day job was taking a lot of brain power for many, many weeks.

Now that things are calming down, and I’ve been able to disconnect, I’ve rediscovered my motivation to do things, including trying new recipes, or new takes on recipes, and potentially adding more book reviews. So, as always, stay tuned!
