Slower “Blogging” Start than previously planned…

Hello my Friends!

I would like to be more present to my 2 blogs, but there are a lot of things going on in my Life at the moment… a lot of changes in my “plans”…  I know everything is going to be alright soon (I hope!!)… My head is full of projects and I have to find out where to start but before, I have some “serious things” to achieve… like… my moving in 1 month (I haven’t found an apartment yet!), issues with my lil one and …. ohhhh and a few more worries!

I promise to be back on track as soon as I can!

Much Love Always xox

Everyday a mountain of trash is needlessly thrown away at lunchtime, creating environmental problems, health hazards and wasting hundreds of dollars for every family packing a lunch. School trash cans nationwide are overflowing! Have you thought about going green at lunchtime? ECOlunchbox is an elegant solution to this problem of lunch waste.

Hey!!  Thanks so much for all of your warm wishes and congrats regarding my little/BIG announcement 🙂  My partner and I are very excited to be welcoming baby #2 into our family in September.  I’m 21 weeks pregnant and we don’t know yet whether it’s a boy or a girl, but I’ll let you know if we find out!  I’m sure there will be lots of maternity/baby projects coming up around here – I hope you don’t mind!  And while I’ll be up to my usual stuff here on the blog, you may notice a little less posting as I shift gears just a little bit 🙂
