A Vacation of Sorts

Whew...it has been quite a while since I have posted.

Let me bring you all up to speed!

Being a teacher the end of the year is crazy. Packing up the room, doing report cards, organizing, cleaning, end of the year activities, gifts for students, checklist for administrators, etc. etc. It was all I could do every night to come home an decompress, and the very last thing I wanted to do was sit at the computer and type any longer.

I know my teacher friends understand!

At first I felt really guilty. Here I just got the blog up and running again and was doing well with posting weekly and then I was off taking a break again.

But then I got to thinking....

This blog is MINE! I get to call the shots. And if I want to take some time off it is OK! (See how I had to talk myself into that?!)

You see, I am an overachiever. I feel like I need to jump into everything I do with both feet and both hands. If you know me, you have probably witnessed this first hand.

Case in point: Haven't worked out since I got pregnant (well that's a stretch, but haven't worked out consistently) First attempt to get back on the work out train is training for a 5K. See what I mean?

I just can't do anything unless I am committed 150%.

The problem with this is I always bite off more than I can chew. So here I was getting this blog going and doing really well but then I felt like I was focusing a lot of energy here, and a lot on school, and the two people who are the MOST important in the world were getting less of my attention.  So I decided to take some time off to be a mom and wife for awhile. And it has been fabulous.

I recognize that I can't always do everything all the time and that is ok. So I will be blogging again from time to time but I am just not pigeon-holing myself into a weekly post. I hope that is ok with you too.

That doesn't mean The Good Life is going anywhere, I am just going to let it be a little more organic in nature (haha that was a good one, I crack myself up!) and let the posts come naturally (again-hilarious) instead of seeking out ideas to post about. When a good idea for a post comes up, I will share it with you.

I am working on getting my logo together for The Good Life which I hope I can share with you soon, and if you haven't already done so, please "LIKE" the facebook page. I tend to get over there more, plus you will always know when there is a new post up.

Thanks as always, for your support. I hope this blog and the facebook page are helpful in your quest to live a greener and more natural life.

Love and Laughs,

Danielle
