I like to bust my mom's chops regaling this story any chance I get about that time she tried to over stuff me with bananas: When I was about 6 months old, my mom tried feeding me bananas at 2 in the morning.  According to her, I went total happy feet all over bananas.  I "just kept opening my mouth for more and more" she'll say.  Well, after a few bushels, I in fact proved I did not love bananas and was most definitely, seemingly having a reaction to the several bunches I had just consumed. My mom lived back with her parents when I was first born because my dad was Chief Engineer on a ship traveling most of the year.  She was a new mom and didn't want to stay at our house alone.  So in this instance, she jumps up, runs to her parents room, shrieking to wake them.

Like I mentioned yesterday, a new work life and daily schedule lies ahead for me.  Although already in full effect, I am making adjustments on how I approach my days.  Obviously I need to get things done, especially as a small business owner, but I feel like doing so differently that I do now.

New adventures lie ahead.  I've left my full time job in college admissions and am now full time into mine and Hunter's business.   I'm working on a few other ventures so when I know more I'll follow up on that. I spent 6 years working at my last job and while I always knew I would go to my business full time eventually, it hasn't truly hit me that I'm not just taking some vacation time and spending a few days away.  I'm ready for my new normal though. It's times like this I love having a lifestyle blog.  I'll look back on this post at some point and the thoughts had, the feelings felt will all come back.  This is a big milestone, leaving a corporate type job and going full speed as a small business owner.  Yay!! I've got big plans for the next.  Excited for what's to come. Let's meet again, M
