What is Nicole doing these days?

I know, I know . . . regular blogging #fail once again. My apologies especially to those of you have asked to be added to my Canadian blogroll -I haven’t forgotten. I have 3 good excuses for kinda ignoring this blog lately:

1. I’m completely reconfiguring and rebranding my Canadian product review website over the month of December. Expect some changes to the layout over here too as I refine my website-design ninja skills.

2. November was spent finishing up yet another Educational Technology course. Completing end-of-term university assignments makes for one busy mom!  I’m now taking a 12-month leave from my program to focus all my energy into my social media business ventures (see point #1).

3. I have a few emotionally deep posts that I want to write but, quite frankly, the thought of putting my feelings on these topics is a bit overwhelming. For example, for the friends and family who have been following our adoption story over the past few years, Corey and I are sad to report that it has officially come to a close. We decided to walk away. It was one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make. Talking and writing about it is incredibly difficult right now, but at the same time I know I need to do this so I can have a sense of closure. So, yeah . . . deep stuff coming soon.

On a lighter note, I have some fun pictures from the past month or so that I have been meaning to post. I’ll probably post those first while I continue to procrastinate on writing the heavy posts!
