My Hiatus Explained: Part Two

In addition to the flurry of life changes I mentioned in my last post, my husband and I also plunged our hands into the rich, nurturing soil of a new endeavor - a yearly garden. There's something profoundly therapeutic about connecting with the earth, planting seeds, and watching them burgeon into vibrant life over time. I'm currently working on a video that chronicles our agricultural journey this year, so stay tuned for that. Another delightful rediscovery from my hiatus has been my relationship with my flute. Its origin story in my life harks back to my childhood, a time when the desire to learn an instrument sprouted in my heart.

Our days together are filled with joyous exploration - sliding down the neighbor's slide, playing with bubbly froth, crafting vibrant stories on paper with her crayons, and even dabbling in a bit of painting. The beauty of her innocence is most apparent during our nightly ritual - a tussle with sleep that she insists must be a shared experience. As I lie next to her, watching her resist the call of slumber, I can't help but ponder a lingering question - why did I stop blogging? Reflecting on it now, it appears my blogging hiatus was a byproduct of my journey into motherhood. Navigating the transformative period of pregnancy, I was apprehensive, even superstitious, about sharing my experiences online. Despite the label of a "geriatric pregnancy" at 36, I wa
