Hello World

Wow. I've been an absentee from this blog for over a year. To be perfectly honest, I even forgot that I had a blog!

Not because I didn't have anything to write about - quite the opposite actually! It has been such a full on year that I wouldn't even know how to put it all into words.
Lets just say that it's been a year to remember!

A lot of my energy this year was focused on building our first home, which was a long and stressful process. Completely worth it in the end, but a learning curve also.
I realise now why many people choose to buy rather than build, and I'm not sure I would do it again in a hurry!

Work has also been a big contributing factor, along with trying to get the delicate balance of working and parenting right.
I can't say if I have the balance completely right, or if I ever will, but it is definitely a work in progress.

I have the day off today (one of four blessed days) and it is so stinking hot that I haven't achieved much. We are in the midst of a heatwave, with the days pushing 40 degrees some days lately.
I was planning to bake something, but that would mean I would have to be in the kitchen with the oven on so.... we will see!

Not a long blog post today. Just a quick check in to show that I'm still alive, and I haven't dropped completely off the radar!

Until next time (whenever that may be)!
