Never fear! We have new interviews and new content on the way!

These last few weeks will go down in history as the weeks when Real Life Fought Back. Jenn's recent illness, Meghan's leave of absence, and my own family's needs have unfortunately dropped our productivity to a slow crawl. If I owe you an email, I'll be doing my best to catch up over the next few days.

My children had a three-day weekend this last weekend, and it brought all my online ambitions to a halt, once again. I would drift towards the computer, longingly, and then notice the sink full of dishes. I would plan to curl up in my bed with the laptop, only to drop into a deep, twitching sleep the moment my body hit the mattress. I planned on composing a stockpile of meaningful entries, only to get caught up in the breathless recounting of some adventure my kids planned on tackling.

Instead of blogging, we made art projects. We played in the sunshine and tried to learn how to play Pokemon. We read book after book after book and snuggled. We reconnected. I wouldn't exactly call it stopping to smell the roses, but in my case, blowing a few dish soap bubbles served the same purpose.

They also made me insane, but that is a whole 'nother entry.

It felt amazing to just walk away for a few days. It gave me the chance to catch my breath, and to appreciate what I have (and to really eyeball what I need to work on) here at home.

We'll be turning the spotlight on some amazing writers in the next few weeks - stay tuned.
