Hello! Remember me?
It’s been a minute, huh? Not intentionally, I swear. If you had any idea how many times I’ve tried to write a post and instead got called away, you’d weep alongside me. The combination of trying to get my life and house back together after multiple months of being sick/taking care of a sick kiddo and then going on vacation for a little over a week, plus it’s summer and my little one wanted to be outside and at the park, among various other places, well… There just hasn’t been ANY computer time lately!
Fortunately, there has been some book time. I’m currently about ten books behind when it comes to book reviews (and I STILL owe two people posts!!! ARGH), but I WILL get caught up. My house is in semi-decent shape (I made sure of that before we left; nothing worse than coming home to a messy house), and we need some down time after our week+ of GO GO GO in Branson, Missouri (it was fantastic. The kids and I travel somewhere with my mother every summer and we basically exhaust ourselves, but we have a great time), so I’ll be doing my best to get caught up here. Not to forget that school starts for the kids in 29 days, and with my daughter headed off to full-time kindergarten, I’ll have a lot more interruption-free time during the day! I do have an enormous list of projects that I want/need to get done around the house, but I’m planning on incorporating plenty of time for reading, writing, and blogging, too. 🙂
So it’s nice to be home, and I’ll be doing my best to keep things better updated around here! I hope you’re all having a lovely summer (or winter, if you’re in a place where the seasons are opposite where I am!), and that you’re getting substantial amounts of reading time with stacks of amazing books. 🙂
She's probably at the library... 
I think it’s important to spend time outside of our online bookish world and I’m glad you got to spend nice time outside! I’m going on a trip to Croatia for two weeks, and I can’t wait to be offline, lol 🙂

Good for you for getting out and seeing new places with your family! I’ve heard Branson is a fun vacation spot, but I’ve never been to that part of Missouri.
I’m counting down the days until school starts, too, but in my case, there are only 11 🙂

Ooh, you’re starting early! Lucky you!!! 😀
I’d never been to Missouri before, so that made the trip especially interesting. I did learn, however, that my answer to the question “Ocean or mountains?” will always be a hearty OCEAN. Driving through some of those Ozark hills scared the crap out of me!!!! We had an awesome time, though. 🙂

Welcome home! While it might feel like you’ve been away from the blog for a while, let’s just call it a recharge. : )
And you’ve got all those books that you can write about or now… but they’re in your “Read” list forever. It’s good stuff.

It’s definitely good stuff! It’ll take me a bit to get caught up, I’m sure, especially since we brought home a cold from vacation!
It was a great time, though, and it’s nice to be back. 🙂
