A New Year, A New Nat

Thanks so much to everyone who commented on the last post and sent me messages! It’s so very nice to know that you’re glad I’m back.

2012 was a rough year for me. It started out on a happy note with the birth of my bestie’s daughter, but not long after that I had this nagging feeling of unsettledness that I just couldn’t shake. I mentioned it numerous times to the Mr. and I think that he thought I was being a bit of a loon. Shortly into the summer, things began to unravel and my normally quite, happy life was shaken up. There was family drama, illnesses, loss and death. And I stepped back from blogging.

I tried my best to stay strong and positive, but it took a little while to feel completely like myself again. Then, in December when I was whole heartedly enjoying the holiday fun with my little lady, funny things kept popping up that made me miss blogging. I was googling things like “how to remove crayon from walls”, “how to remove melted crayon from clothing” and “how to remove permanent marker from toddler’s face” and I felt like sharing all that nuttiness with you.

So. Where does that leave us now? Back to blogging (yay!) but perhaps with a slight shift in focus. I have barely shopped (gasp) these past 6 months, so I may mix up my content a bit. I hope you’ll bear with me while I find my new voice and focus. All that being said, I couldn’t help but show you two of my current favourite accessories:

A Christmas gift from my man and lady, I haven’t taken it off since I opened it.

And, these totally awesome Kenneth Cole shoes. Leopard – Gooooood. Loafers – Goooooood. ‘ Nuff said.
