Wow, how time flies...

I cannot believe so much time has past since my last post. The last time I was giving thanks and excited about the Christmas season, but the holidays have come and gone without any posts. I had plans to blog about DIY gifts, Christmas home tour, and many recipes to share. 

Life once again got in the way of blogging.

At the end of November I got Vertigo, it wasn't as bad as some but it was enough to keep me off my feet during times that I would be cooking, baking, or blogging.

At the beginning of December we lost a family member. It was Brandon's Uncle Kerry, I say family because his entire family have treated Liam and me as family. It was a devastating time for everyone, and the family bond is one of the strongest I have come across. I'm glad to have met Kerry, he was a great man and he is truly missed. During this time I didn't feel it was right to blog. I had my December schedule ready, but it didn't feel right.

And then Christmas was quickly approaching, and work was picking up. Liam had holiday parties, we had holiday parties, too much to do and not enough time. I did decorate both my house and we all decorated Boo's house, I did a few Christmas DYI's, homemade gifts, and holiday baking. I just didn't have it in me to blog about it.

Christmas came and it was amazing! Liam was spoiled of course and I was too. Best present of all, Boo treated me to a Christmas and Birthday gift to Maui!!! My birthday is New Years Eve and it was amazing. I am truly one happy, lucky, and grateful girl. 

So much planned for the 2014, I'm excited to start blogging again, now is the time. Its going to be an amazing year, can you all feel it?

Citrus Herb Roasted Chicken and Blogging...

My morning usually begins with reading my favorite blogs and today was no exception, except I felt a little discouragement from one. The question she asked, "are you reading blogs less?". I'm still new to the blogging world and I love it, I love to share stories, pictures, recipes, DIY, I love it all. I wish I had more time to write posts, but unfortunately I do not. Everything I've done has been a learning process, from taking an OK picture to writing. I'm not the best but hope to one day be a blogger that is followed, I love sharing with you. To the people that follow me, THANK YOU! I hope that you enjoy what I have to say and are making a good meal or a fun DIY. So I will keep on keeping on, BOOM!

Now onto some good food...

Orange, lemon, garlic, thyme, rosemary, and olive oil; whats not to love? I first came across this recipe on Pinterest, via HERE. I've made it a few times and always go back to it, Liam loves it so much. I love the crispy skin and bright rich flavors. Its a go to recipe and could easily be used for entertaining, freezes well if you have leftovers, and is put together in a snap!
