Not a single post in December. Hardly any photos taken. No personal journal notes. Barely any time spent on Facebook and Instagram. I spent a month almost entirely unplugged.
It was kind of nice. And it was also sort of weird. After falling off the face of the earth, I'm ready to re-engage.
This past year literally flew by. December was a busy month of getting ready for Christmas. There was shopping. Hockey and homework. Baking and wrapping.
Adjusting to being newly unemployed. Not so bad.
The continuing challenges of having a new puppy in the house.
It was a green Christmas, thanks to some wild warm temperatures for this time of year. We didn't get our first real snowstorm until the 28th of December. It's snowing today, so maybe winter is finally here.
I have half a dozen recipe posts waiting to be finished. And I'm ready to see the world through my camera again.
Happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you Tamar!
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteSometimes being unplugged lets you get
other things done. Have a great day!
It's so true Sherrie, but I'm more than ready to plug back in now :)
DeleteHappy New Year, Jenn! Good luck with the challenges of 2016 and glad to see you back in the blogosphere!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, good to be back - Happy New Year to you!
DeleteIt looks like 2015 was a delicious year with plenty of books! Here's to a great 2016!
ReplyDeletethis is such a good idea for a post - look like you had a busy year!
ReplyDeleteI've never really unplugged. I may do it for a week or so next month when I go to Florida. I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI'm also happy to be here and seeing people coming back from breaks.
Happy New Year!
Welcome back! I'm not sure I could unplug for that long - I think I'm hooked.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/01/nosey-cat-yep.html
Happy New Year, sounds as if you're recharged and ready to go again - good luck for 2016 x
ReplyDeleteHi Jenn, adding this comment to my original one - thanks for linking up to #PoCoLo :)
DeleteI imagine it would have been very hard at first to unplug, I need to do that at some point and get refreshed. Glad to have you back xx H
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to spend December. A break really makes a huge difference when you get back to sitting in front of the computer.
ReplyDeleteGlad you took the time to unplug! We need that sometimes! Wishing you a fantastic 2016!

Loving the good reads stats it's so interesting, I'm trying to increase my reading in 2016 so I'm definitely going to go and sign up for good reads
ReplyDeleteI was not around much either.. having 3 kids home all day for 2 weeks was not conducive to blogging. AT all!! Thankfully I had some posts in draft that I just finished and then scheduled to publish. But, it was more fun to be present with them and have many adventures. Even without the snow. What are we going to write about, if we don't go out and live life too? :)
ReplyDeleteExactly! And the snow's here now - I was actually hoping for a snow day Monday!
DeleteHappy New Year!
Happy New Year! Great photos! I spent most of December unplugged too and I enjoyed that a lot.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I think it's great you spent most of December unplugged. I cut my posts down quite a bit too and really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! Sometimes it's great just to take a step back from being online for a bit. Here's to a fab 2016! :) #pocolo
ReplyDeleteI love the look of your blog and I'm now subscribed! I love stumbling upon new blogs. I spent the last few months of 2015 being pretty much unplugged (for reasons that I will blog about very soon) but I missed it too. It's good to dis-engage though, gives you the thirst again. I may well read a couple of those books too :) #pocolo
ReplyDelete48 books?! WOW...I wish that were me. Sadly I don't think I read all of 2 books last year. This year will be different! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
Happy 2016 Jenn - thank you for stopping by Pin worthy Wednesday
ReplyDeleteHi Jenn, it is nice to unplug from the online world every now and again. It gives us a chance to recharge our batteries. I hope the new puppy settles down soon and that 2016 is a fab year for you.

OH man I wish I read that many books. I started a lot of books that I'm still reading and loving all of them but it's also making me a little ADD as you can maybe tell from this run-on sentence. Welcome back to the party and Happy New year! #SaucySAturdays
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the highlights of your year!! Don't you love the Goodreads summary? Love the way they included the pages, made it really feel like an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at Funtastic Friday!
Glad to see that you are back, Jenn! Thanks for linking up at Best of the Weekend. I remember books -- they're what used to fill my time before blogging, lol. I miss reading!
