Of course! You know where to find me. :) (And - as you probably know - I'm still blogging once or twice a week on Clay Baboons)

Thanks Samantha! I just renewed the domain for another year, so I'm sure I'll be back eventually.

My entire life is a cycle of over-enthusiasm followed by shame. Can I link my entire life?

It's when you post about your fresh produce from the farmer's market IN FEBRUARY that I feel most jealous of the fact that you live in California! :)

Thank you Ms Michael! Honestly, the decision wasn't that difficult. I've kind of been moving in that direction for some time now. But I do/will miss the contact with my blog friends!

Love this post Jen. I should have held off on my hiatus for just a few weeks, because I WANT THIS POST! Haha. As you know, I can definitely relate. The tips that were most important to my sanity (although often the hardest to follow) were to keep a schedule and to keep practicing. I found that being a housewife was a dangerous place for me in terms of thinking waaaaaay too much about food. I started getting more body-focused than I've ever been, and being home all the time and reading a huge number of healthy living blogs just wasn't helping me. Anyway, I hope that you're taking this time to create and paint and draw...I'd love to see some more of your work. Who knows! Maybe someday I'll buy an original Jen for the living room! (No, I'm serious. Over the next few years, I want to start collecting original art.)

As a teacher, every year my number one goal was to teach my students to be kind to each other and seek out each other's positive qualities and to respect - no CELEBRATE - that everyone is different. And I failed with some of my students. Every. Single. Year. One year, I cried after school every day for a week because I couldn't get through to a few of my mean boys who thought it was funny to make a boy with asperger's repeat inappropriate things. I hovered over the boy, protecting him as best I could...but I couldn't help him make any friends. In the end, I was able to stop them with punishment, but I was unable to get them to internalize that what they were doing was WRONG. I wish there was a solution to this. I wish that the world were a kinder place. To think that ADULTS make fun of a boy...it hurts my heart. I'm glad that you've found a way to let your son seek out social interaction...and I hope that he doesn't figure out that the mic is muted for a very long time. Your love and concern for your son are apparent in every word of this post. The two of you are so lucky to have each other.
