Valerie: Me and Will have been pretty crazy with the Widget Biz lately, so food has been on the go. Last time I really I cooked anything substantial was a farewell breakfast at the Homestead the day Sonic and Amy were heading out. Sausage and egg casserole with a crunchy hash brown dish for a side. Plus lots of fresh fruit from the Market in Chase Township. Everyone loved it! Sonic even took a to-go box… and I wound up texting Amy the recipes!

There’s something magical about the idea of a leisurely breakfast, isn’t there? It’s that comforting embrace of a hearty meal that warms both your belly and your soul, setting the perfect tone for the day ahead.

Welcome to the new & improved melslife blog.  Still a work in progress, yes, BUT better than before (I hope..I really do hope).  A resolution of mine is to become a better blogger.  I have so many thoughts running through my head ALWAYS and a million blogs to write.  The logical response would be to write on all of them alllll of the time.  But, of course, as luck would have it, my brain decides to turn off...to search Pinterest all night long, or to read some of my favorite blogs (more on those later).  When I read my favorite blogs, I get inspired to write AND then I eat some chocolate chips, crash from the sugar overload, and start the whole process over again the next day.  Needless to say, not much gets written and it makes me sad.

The photo above {a famous breakfast feast} reminds me why I love to blog--I love it because I get to share pictures of food, I get to talk about random things {like said breakfast feast}, and I get to connect with the community and my friends {and food always brings us together}.

I am pretty good about new years resolutions SO as my first resolution, I promise myself to be better at blogging--on all of my blogs, but specifically on the melslife blog.  I owe it to myself to get back in touch with my inner writer.  I didn't say she was good, but she sure can type fast, and, well, that works for me.

Here's to 2012 and a whole lot of blogging!!
