Hellobee Boards

Welcome back! Hope you're feeling refreshed.

Welcome back!

Was just thinking this morning that I hadn't seen you around in a while, hope all is well!

You were missed! Glad you had time to reflect as I know I need that myself many times! Hope you can stay a while and find a balance so we can hear from you too!

Welcome back. I was just thinking about all the HB bloggers who have gone quiet this past year. You are all in my thoughts.

Wishing you and your family all the best. We're all seeking our own balance and I'm sure we can all relate.

Welcome back.

Happy you're back!!

@Mrs. Jacks: SO glad to have you back!!! Definitely missed you while you were away.

Welcome back and totally hear you on HB fueling the fire to have a baby. I would be lying if I said it had no influence on me wanting to get pregnant in the first place.

DH and I also make an effort to put our phones/laptop away when we're home. I joke that I only check my phone when DH and I are apart and it's true since I once went a whole weekend missing my friend's baby announcement. She even called me to ask for help shortly after the baby arrived and I didn't see her voicemail until Monday! Sometimes things need to be put on hold so that we can focus on family.

Missed you lady! Glad that you survived the crazy holidays, and I'm always happy to hear about the kiddos being a priority!

So happy to read an update from you!

You are just lovely! Work-life balance can be so hard in a demanding job and with a family! Glad you've taken the time you needed!

Hi!!! So glad to see you again!! That was a wonderful quote from the Pope. So true.

Oh Mrs. Jacks, I think I understand entirely how you were feeling! I'm an academic in a dual career household, and the pull of teaching, research, grant proposals, supporting student research... plus parenting and supporting my husband. It's all just too much. There have been some really low times. I don't think there are any good answers to these conundrums, but it sounds like you are trying to put some time into taking care of yourself and your needs, which is first and foremost the most important thing to do. (How easy it is to forget that though!) Take care, and thank you for the update!

I just got so excited to see your name pop up, even though I don't even know you. But I love your blog posts and comments, and have thought about often the last little while.
I've had a similar self imposed Internet hiatus lately. And also pondering the "to three, or not to three?" Question. I'd love to hear your perspective on it all.
I hope you're ok and looking after yourself as well as everyone else! Xx

I'm glad to hear you're doing well. Happy New Year to you and your family

You have been missed! Welcome back!
