Blog Appétit

Today calls for a celebration (I feel as if the song “Without Me” by Eminem should start playing) because…

“Guess who’s back, back again
Megan’s back, tell a friend…”

I’m finally back and man, oh man does it feel good to be writing and sharing on here again. 

Now I could bore you with all the long details of where I’ve been, what I’ve been up to, etc. but figured I would save those for the end of the post for those who care and quickly sum everything up in a nutshell here because the truth is I hit MAJOR BURN OUT after the wedding. I’m talking in all aspects of life kind of burn out. 

My creative juices were not flowing, my to-do list was so long I couldn’t even look at it, same with my inbox – getting down to 0 unread e-mails felt like an eternity away. Writing a blog post, planning a photoshoot or working on my aprons was the last thing my brain could comprehend after 8-10 hours of playing e-mail catch up at my day job. So all in all, I just hit pause…on EVERYTHING. I walked away from the e-mails, blog, aprons, I would say job but unfortunately that wouldn’t have ended well so stuck with that one. I needed a break, I needed to take a step back, breathe, enjoy down time with my husband, see friends I hadn’t had a chance to see in awhile and take time to reignite the creative flame as the wedding kind of sucked it out of me.

So with that being said…click here

I’M OFFICIALLY BACK!

And there’s no sweeter way to say I’m back than with adorable mini cookie cakes that I baked up last month when I decided to pull out the old camera again and get back in the groove.

So whether you’ve been following along for years, months or this is the first post you’re reading,  thank you for following along and get excited, because there’s much more to come!

And for those of you still reading, here’s a brief breakdown of what I’ve been up to:

-Steve and I had the wedding of our dreams in June and then flew off to Italy and Greece for our honeymoon. So many fun posts to come on this.

–Bon Aprontit is in the final stages of some big changes that I’ve been working feverishly behind the scenes on and can’t wait to share.

-Poor Rosie has been in and out of the hospital since May with an infected hip (for newbies, she had a hip replacement last year). She is finally back home and in physical therapy so will be back to herself in no time.

-My mom became officially cancer free a week after the wedding!! In case you missed the post, here’s the full story.

-Steve got a promotion at his job, so proud of my husband!..and calling him “husband” will never get old.

-I celebrated another year older in July and although last year is going to be hard to top I’m pretty excited about what this year has in store for me!

-Lastly, I took some time to refocus the blog as it got to be a little all over the place with post topics and taught myself some new photo editing techniques that I’ve been playing out with.

..and so much more!

Anyone else ever hit burn out? How do you beat it and move one? Also, how excited are you for what’s to come!? 😉
