…here’s a box. Help yourself. Just let me grab one first. I’m feeling a little misty eyed since this is my last blog post here at Homemakers.com.
This blog has been my virtual home for almost 3 years and I am really going to miss it. Recently a lot has changed in my life. I’ve sold my test kitchen business and taken a new job in the corporate world – two changes that have completely altered my daily routine. Likewise, our family has taken on some ambitious home projects (we’re building a pizza oven!) that are taking up a lot of my time and I’m studying and taking courses to write my Culinology exam next spring.
The downside of these new and exciting things becoming part of my life is that I’ve found myself with less time not only for my own blog, but for visiting other blogs and being a contributor to the overall blog community. In short, I’ve felt like only a semi-participant in the blogosphere and that just doesn’t seem fair to my readers and to the fellow bloggers who have been so generous to these pages and to me as I learned how to operate as not just a magazine writer but also as a blogger.
Besides bloggers such as Charmian from Christie’s Corner, Cheryl from 5 Second Rule and Diva from Beach Eats, this blog would have been short lived without the support and encouragement of Jen Melo, Adrienne Brown and Dayna Boyer, the homemakers.com guruellas who were with me at every step – even when I voiced controversial opinions that riled people up. I thank each of you for being so fantastic!
Although I won’t be here on a regular basis anymore, I do hope to keep in touch on Twitter and Facebook with any readers who’d like to remain connected. And, if you find yourselves with a few minutes to spare now that I’m not posting, I hope you’ll visit my blogroll at the right and check out the fantastic blogs I’ve grown to love. Chances are you’ll see me commenting on those boards, too.
Thanks for reading. You being out there has made me being here at my computer a hell of a lot of fun!
