What's Been Goin On?

A lot! I took a hiatus from blogging that turned into an outright blogging sabbatical. So, what's been going on (for those of you around and maybe for new readers?)

Last year, we launched our own coastal stationery company: Coyne and Pinckney Stationery. It came after months of research and planning. I talked about it on our C&P blog, but with my husband's printing background and our love of all things southern/coastal, we felt it was the time. We had a torturous and awesome time figuring out business, meeting people, and building up our little corner of the web. Business had it ups and downs (literally and figuratively), but we are refreshing our websites, designs, and focus right now. I love love love design and working with customers. Hopefully, one day I'll be able to work it all day, but for now I also have another day job!
Which leads me to our move. In the midst of our plans, my husband got a job opportunity that seemed, well, stupid to turn down. I was about to finish my Master's degree and had found a community college teaching niche. And I loved our house and our Lowcountry town. Soo...it was not an easy decision. However, when opportunity comes a'knockin, we couldn't turn it down.

Thus, we migrated south to Florida. Fortunately, we had friends here (college friends and co-workers of my husband), so we transitioned somewhat smoothly. I won't say I didn't miss our family, friends and the place we thought we'd settle, somewhat fiercely.
THEN! After the hassle and chaos of moving, we found out we were expecting!!! We were thrilled and excited. Truly, we were ready to start a family. However, not necessarily this summer.

Is is fair to say life has done a bit of a 180? Yes. Yes it is quite fair. Would it be an understatement to say that the last 4 months have been a roller coaster emotions? Definitely!
Which led me back to blogging. I really wanted to re-energize my blog, and really, just record this crazy time of life.

I don't have any particular plans for a specific type of blog because it is me and I am one record of miscellany. But, expect some baby talk, fashion, books, design, food AKA things I enjoy.

Welcome (or Welcome Back) to my Blog. I hope you Enjoy!
