{ got blood? }

I'm so sorry I've been so absent from the blog...I do have a few very valid excuses though. I have been so busy shipping Bite ME pads...I had no idea there were so many Twilight-lovers out there. WOW is all I can say. Then, I actually managed to draw blood from my body (a large amount of it on a bike ride the other day that has left me SORE). And then I've been volunteering a ton at Samme's school making sure that the bullying she was experiencing is over & done with and that she is happy & safe there...It is getting better each time I'm there and she still seems to love it despite the chaos, so all is well in public school land. But, I've been there a lot. Will keeps joking with ME that I have LESS time to work now that she is in school 5 days a week because I am there so much. And little Henry's 1st birthday is coming right up! Can you believe it has been a year since we were anxiously awaiting his arrival?

Anyway, I promise some non-Twilight related blog posts soon... on getting back into a fall/school routine (which has been HARD for us, what about you?), the Raising Foodies Cooking group, some reviews of some inspirational products, quick & easy fall meal plans (think lots & lots of turkey chili used multiple ways throughout the week), healthy school lunch & snack ideas, a guest blog post from the fabulous and uber-creative Alli from Bird Dog Press, etc. I promise...good things come to those who wait!
