Something Exciting is Brewing… Happy New Year 2023!

I don’t recall when the last time I posted anything on my blog was. Back then, I needed a break back and took quite an extensive one to be honest. No regrets though because it was much needed, so I’m at peace with it.

With that said, I’m not going to tell you that 2023 brought new resolutions, more time and untapped energy. Let’s be real: I’m a mother of a young one, three cats (and yes I said 3 lol), and a wife with full time job. More time or energy just does not happen, but if you can make that happen, just know that you’re my hero.

Now, let’s check what’s new below…


So what’s changed?!?

The correct answer here would be nothing and everything. I know, right? Let me explain: I’ve been very busy between my kid’s activities and my work for the past two years. I want to say a lot more than usual. So did this change? Nooooo! I’m still a very busy mom.

So what’s truly changed? Let’s say I’ve picked up a few organization skills along the way and I can multitask. lol I can better plan my day. And you know what? If I don’t get something done today, it’s ok. If I need help, I CAN ask for it, which honestly was hard for me at first. I’ve always been very hands on, so letting anyone else do something for me always felt like accepting a failure.

Anyway, I know my limits and I’m planning on blogging once a week and not more than that. I know that this is what I can deliver for now. Maybe the future will change this one way or another, but for now, i’ve decided to resume my posts once a week. I can work on it in the weekends at my own pace.

All right, I will get started on this blog this week and in the meantime, find me on Instagram where I post everyday (or almost – until life happens). Happy New Year!
