long time coming... long way to go

Well ladies and gentlemen, as the title would imply this post has been a long time coming! Over the past few months I have had some ideas swimming in my mind, many of which wouldn't allow me to lay them to rest. This is when I know it is time to take action. That can't sleep, over excited, mind in overdrive feeling (that always hits hardest when I'm trying to go to bed!).

Taking a few steps back, I attempted to start this blog in college under a different name -- ramblings of a perpetual student. Not too much came of this, and I fell off the wagon pretty quickly (5 posts later - shout out to my only 2010 archives!).

While I will always be learning, grow is a verb that is ever-present in my life these days and represents a lot of what I want this space to be... (drum roll please) growth in progress.

It took me longer than I am willing to admit to come up with this title, and many post-its were sacrificed in the making.



What you can expect to find in this hopefully hospitable abode are topics on growth, many of which I am/will be going through personally. I am a lover of things green - eco friendly topics + gardening, I am a penny pincher (sometimes to a fault) and cherish homemade goods (all the FOOD + crafts), among plenty of other things. My kid(s - full plural coming August!) is/are my whole heart. Oh, and I happen to work in the midst of wrangling the rest of this!

I look forward to recapping how I got to where I am today AND growing with this journey, as I have a long way to go! 

(FYI - I am still in the building process of this page and hope to have WAY more info out there soon! But there are too many good ideas in my head to keep me from getting started!)
