I'm Back and I've Missed You

Moonrise over Seminole Canyon State Park, Texas

It's been about a year since I've written a blog post. I had posts I wanted to share, but it just didn't happen for a couple of reasons. One, I was overwhelmed with life in general and two, I was putting everything into growing my photography business. But I have so many things I want to share with you. Things about my little urban homestead (I'm up to four chickens now and am currently planning my garden), favorite recipes, and home and garden tips.

A lot has happened in the last year. I replaced my original chicken coop and raised a chick who is now a part of our flock of laying hens. Her name is Poe, after the character on Star Wars. We thought she was a roo because of her attitude. Oops! She's just a spunky hen. She also happens to be gorgeous. Here she is:

We also added another family member. Luna came to us after a dear friend of mine passed away from cancer. After a little bit of adjusting, she's now settled into life in our home quite well. She is the diva and loves soft surfaces as well as eating the leftover chicken food. She's also quite the little trooper and hangs just fine with us and our big dog, Julius when we go on adventures.

I've also made some new friends, refocused my photography business, and watched my son grow taller every day. When I first started this blog he was just a little guy. Now he's a year and a half away from middle school. Ugh, time really does go by too quickly.

Anyway, its good to be back. My goal for the year is to find a balance with running this little hippy home, my photography business, and this blog. I'm not going to lie, finding balance is hard when you are pulling the single parent gig, but I wouldn't trade this life I'm living for anything.
