BRIGHT LIGHTS

Hi Friends!
As many of you know from following me on Twitter, life has been a bit hectic as of late. Long story short, I got promoted (yay!), took on quite a bit more work responsibility, and then had a big yearly event that I help plan each year come up right at the same time. Coupled with a focus on just trying to take whatever down time I had available to relax a bit and well, here I am.
I apologize for the lack of explanation officially here, but I wanted to pop in today to both explain myself and tell you about a very exciting feature today!
Are you familiar with Frock Files? Joy's blog is one of my very favorites to read each day - or catch up on when I have free time! It's a mix of drool-worthy recipes & food photos, travel, and thoughts on life. I especially enjoy her "Bright Lights" series that highlights bloggers and their favorite things. I always am introduced to someone new, find a few new things to try, and even make good friends like Mere via the series.
You can imagine how honored I was when Joy asked me to participate! Please head over and check out some of my favorite things, tell Joy hi, and know that after May 9th, I'll be back up and running over here.

XO,
Lauren
