Hey y'all,

Just thought I'd pop in here to say hello and touch base since I haven't blogged here in so very long.  If you've been visiting my other blogs (ie the active ones) you'll know that I'm expecting a son in July and actually took a leave of absence from two of the three blogs I was writing.  Things have calmed down since my morning (aka everything from noon til midnight) sickness decided to take its own leave of absence, so I'm back to actively contributing to the blogosphere.

Here's the rundown on the blogs I'm currently the author of:

• Stop the World - I Want to Get Off! is a "momblog" hosted by ClubMom.  That's where I've talked about the family, homeschooling, and the like.
• SmallBizMentor is a blog about small- and home-based business hosted by Know More Media.
• Workerette is a blog for and about women in business, also hosted by Know More Media. 

I do still plan on creating at least two new blogs of my own, to replace this one (and revive a homeschooling e-zine I published back in the late '90s!) and my Going Green blog from HomesteadBlogger.  I've saved my entries from these two blogs and will let you know as soon as I get the new blog(s) built.  I'm having the worst time trying to decide on blog titles, hosts, and the like.  AUGH!  Wish me luck!

Speaking of writing and other such things, I'm still editing Lisa Barthuly's e-newsletter for her amazing candle company, Homestead Originals.  Lisa had her baby in January and it sounds like the whole family is doing well.  As always, she's coming up with new products and making sure things run smoothly, including coming up with a new name for the monthly newsletter.  "Notes from the Homestead" made its debut this month.  If you weren't already a subscriber, let me know and I'll forward you the March issue.  April should be out in a few weeks, and I think you'll like it!

Remember how I used to contribute from time to time to TheHomeCast, hosted by my friend Jessica Harvey?  Well, after a lot of prayerful consideration, Jess felt led to shut down THC and create a different, more personal blog called Maine-ly a Mom.  I am in awe, folks.  Some people have green thumbs; Jess has a silver one, made from a thimble!  Go check out her new blog and her Etsy store.  She's agreed to make my son's quilt for his room, and I can't wait to start picking out fabric.  I'm such a lucky duck!

That's enough chatting for now.  There's lots more work to do in order to keep the other blogs up and running, and to create some new ones.  Please stop by and say hello at my other "offices" soon!
