Big News Comes In Little Packages

Today I’m not sharing a recipe for my latest chocolate cake or the perfect summer salad. Instead, I have some personal things to share.

These days it seems that big life news comes in little packages. Our family is growing by one with the arrival of a baby in January of 2016! The journey to this occasion has spanned infertility issues and the miscarriage of our daughter, Glory*. Maybe because of that, this moment is ever so much sweeter. Thankfully, we are now safely into the 2nd trimester with a strong heartbeat for baby and a bit less morning sickness for me!

Longtime readers may have noticed that blog posts have been more scarce than usual this summer. I confess I have rather lost my appetite and have cooked exactly one dinner since the beginning of June. Lucky for me, Jonathan is an excellent cook and has been pampering me and keeping me fed no matter how queasy I feel.

I’m told things should begin leveling out now and I’m very excited to get back into the kitchen and start sharing recipes with all of you again! Keep an eye out for a delightful nectarine sangria and an epic no-churn cookies and cream ice cream coming soon.

I look forward to sharing some of the sure to be hilarious details of our new life over the coming months. Stay tuned.

*If you have been dealing with fertility problems or have lost a baby you have my deepest sympathy. I know what a hard time it can be. Please feel free to be in touch via e-mail if you would like somebody to connect with or to pray for you. While I understand that a lifestyle of prayer is not everybody’s choice, it has been the one thing that has carried me through the last few years in a way nothing else could.
