A New Year, A New Nat
Thanks so much to everyone who commented on the last post and sent me messages! It’s so very nice to know that you’re glad I’m back.
2012 was a rough year for me. It started out on a happy note with the birth of my bestie’s daughter, but not long after that I had this nagging feeling of unsettledness that I just couldn’t shake. I mentioned it numerous times to the Mr. and I think that he thought I was being a bit of a loon. Shortly into the summer, things began to unravel and my normally quite, happy life was shaken up. There was family drama, illnesses, loss and death. And I stepped back from blogging.
I tried my best to stay strong and positive, but it took a little while to feel completely like myself again. Then, in December when I was whole heartedly enjoying the holiday fun with my little lady, funny things kept popping up that made me miss blogging. I was googling things like “how to remove crayon from walls”, “how to remove melted crayon from clothing” and “how to remove permanent marker from toddler’s face” and I felt like sharing all that nuttiness with you.
So. Where does that leave us now? Back to blogging (yay!) but perhaps with a slight shift in focus. I have barely shopped (gasp) these past 6 months, so I may mix up my content a bit. I hope you’ll bear with me while I find my new voice and focus. All that being said, I couldn’t help but show you two of my current favourite accessories:
A Christmas gift from my man and lady, I haven’t taken it off since I opened it.
And, these totally awesome Kenneth Cole shoes. Leopard – Gooooood. Loafers – Goooooood. ‘ Nuff said.
Welcome back in any form! Love the necklace, your daughter is adorable, and here’s to a great year…
So glad you’re back but so sorry to hear about your troubles in 2012. I hope 2013 brings you nothing but happiness!
Forward with lots of love, laughter and good family sharing times. XO
Sorry to hear you had some hard times last year – hope everything is ok now.
Love your sweet necklace. & I’ve been eyeing up some leopard print ballet pumps for a while now, so love the shoes too! x
Welcome back Nat! So glad you’ve sorted through life’s challenges and came out stronger on the other side.
I am so sorry 2012 was a rough year for you Nat. But I am glad to see you back on the internets, I’ve missed you! I can relate to the shift in focus, I changed around my blog as well and even switched the name. Sometimes its good to take a step back.
I’ll be excited to read your posts no matter where they take you. Some of those things you googled sounded like they would make for some funny material. ;) I love this age for toddlers, mine just told me that my hair looked like a rainbow today, lol.
Great to hear from you! Welcome back to blogging!

So glad you’re back! Wishing you a full and happy year with your Mr and little one. xx
I’m sooooooo happy you’re back, I was going to start a petition! I always popped in periodically to see if you had posted, and today for some reason I had a nagging feeling that I should check in… Joy of joys, you’re back and prettier than ever! I hope it’s nothing but sunshine, rainbows and happiness from here on out for you — you deserve it, sweets! xx
Glad you’re back! Sounds like 2012 was a tough year for a lot of people, myself included. Here’s to a bright 2013!
Thanks SO much everyone for the most lovely comments!! I’m truly blessed to have you guys as my bloggy friends! It means more than you know! And I’m sending huge hugs and the very best wishes for 2013 to all of you! xxxxx
Yay!!! So glad you’re back at it. I’ve missed your blog so, so much! And I’m sorry you’ve had a tough year. I too went through so much and had to step back from mine + refocus my content. Excited to see what you have in store. BIG SMOOCHES! V
