Hi folks! As some of you know I've been away for quite a while. I had a baby March 2009, then when my grandma died in September it kind of took everything out of me. I've read a couple posts here and there once in a while, but for the most part I've been working on finding a new groove.

Since I was last here, I've been watching my now year old son grow & learn, solidifying new friendships (they really do change when you have kids), enjoying weekly culinary adventures that this last month have been less than weekly due to budget cuts (I want to try to learn to achieve both!), and most recently starting a local babywearing support group in my area. So yes, very busy.

I feel like I'm new at this site all over again, it's been so long since I've been really involved here! So what's new here, what's popular here, and what's up in the forums?

Hi Ivre! Welcome back.
I'm sorry to hear abot your grandmother's passing but I'm glad to hear about your son.
The forum is rather dying lately but everyone seems to be retuning. It's exciting. One of the popular topics I see everywhere is about a TV show called "Merlin." I haven't seen it but I hear it's good.

I'm glad to hear that you are doing well!

What do you mean by "dying...but coming back"? No new members, but old ones returning?
I can completely understand the excitement over Merlin. It's one of my and my husband's favorite shows.

Yeah pretty much. A lot of people just disappeared but are now starting to come back.

Thanks for that update. I'm sure that could change if the main webpage could get updated. The last update is pretty far back.
