Riding into the New Year Today is the first Monday of the year, which is a good time to think about what new adventures the year promises to bring.  I am just coming out of holiday mode and being productive is so very unappealing… but it must be done.  Here’s to riding to greener pastures in 2020!    

So, much has happened since my last public blog entry.  Dramatically, I received a phone call moments after I posted Safe in the Storm.  There was an accident, and while we are still on the road to recovery, we intend to rise like a phoenix from the situation. Also, I’m moving all of my blog posts to one coherent timeline on a new website – I’ll post the link as the final entry here at the top and leave this up. It will be easy to navigate and have indexed and organized pictures, galleries, and post categories for easy sorting,…

Thanks for visiting our new home on Old Lantern Lane!  I needed a change from our old blog and a new place to record all my adventures, inspirations, and ideas – so here it is.  Come back and visit soon, I’ll be adding back in some of my old posts in addition to a lot of new features and categories.   Onward and upwards!

I’m thinking of changing my blogger theme, making a new template, switching things up a bit. Here’s a tentative banner I made… (click on it to see banner sized) Only thing is, I really love the blue jeans theme. LOVE it. Still. And I haven’t found one I like even remotely as much. :/ Oh well, guess I’ll keep looking! 🙂

Yey, a new direction! So, originally this blog was just going to be all Arin all the time, every little smile and giggle and messy faced feeding picture. Obviously, that didn’t happen so I’m hijacking this blog (from myself) for myself. Actually, mostly it will probably still be about Arin. But! I get to throw in all the other junk I find myself wanting to publicly blog about. And, I also have a defunct old beauty blog thingie on this account which I will post on the right so you don’t have to click through my profile, just in case…

Right, so I haven’t updated this in about ten thousand years! I know, and I feel bad. First of all, I have been posting all of the pictures that do actually see the light of day on facebook. So, if you’re not already friends with me there, add me. If you’re not ON facebook, join! It’s super easy and a great stalking tool. I mean, social networking… or something. 🙂 I’m sort of addicted to ‘beauty blogs’ and ‘housewife blogs’ and since I’m such a prolific writer (right guys?) I should join in the fun. 🙂  More updates to come, promise!
