After a 3-month hiatus, I’m happy to announce that I’m back in blog action! For those of you who were wondering if I fell off the face of the Earth, let’s just say I needed the time off to focus on healing my body and mental health (more on that in the next blog post), and realign on work/life priorities. Believe it or not, blogging to me is more than just a hobby, it’s my passion, and I’ve created more space in my life to focus on it. I cannot wait to share the upcoming blog content, and if you’re still around, I want to THANK YOU for being here – it means so much!
ICYMI on Instagram, I’m sharing some highlights during the past 3 months with ya’ll here. It’s been a whirlwind, but I’m so glad to be back on this platform and can’t wait to share more recipes, grocery hauls and meal plans. There are so many fun events coming up, so stay tuned!
