Birthdays, Babies, and (no) Blogging

The last time you heard from me, I was talking about turning 30 and how I felt about it. That was a week ago. The longest amount of time I've gone without blogging since I started. And I have to admit: I missed it. I missed hearing from you all and I missed my creative outlet. I had every intention of blogging while we were in New York for the week. But then I heard this:

My sister organized a surprise blog party with some of my favorite bloggers (thank you all again, you seriously made my day... yes Em, including you).

Last year, he told me I could have a puppy or an iPad. Obviously, I chose Bronx. But this year, my LoLo bought me an iPad!! He knew I wanted one for a long time and he finally got it for me. I love it!

I had such a fun trip to visit my family in New York, but I'm also happy to be home and back to blogging. I missed you!! Come back tomorrow for more birthdays, babies, and finally, more blogging.
