Aaaaaand We're Back

Steph and Stace

So remember that one time we started a blog and thought we were cool and then flaked out? I do.

Yeah it happened but now we’re gonna be cool for real.

Well I guess if you have goals and stuff…. Ok so 2017 this is it. It’s going to be good. Blogging and reading and recipes and all kinds of new stuff right? I said am I right?! Did you hear the voice of Lucy from Charlie Brown just then because that’s what I was going for.

You do sound remarkably like the bossiest person on Charlie Brown. Maybe it’s an older sister thing.

That was uncalled for. So what if I’m bossy, that just means I get things done. Like revisiting the blog! Even though it was technically your idea both times.

Because I’m amazing. So! About the blog. Every Monday Steph will be posting her wisdom I am wise….and bossiness to…..not bossy, wise….the world and every Thursday I will be posting my awesomeness and stuff. Eloquent. This is going to be fun.

Yes good, we have agreed to a posting schedule which I think will help us stay on track. With active kids and a busy home it really helps me to schedule things out so stuff doesn’t fall through the cracks. Stace thinks I’m not fully committed to the blog but I am I AM!

Prove it!

Oh I’ll prove it, I’ll prove it like a theorem! Name that quote!

That was a good one! Ross from Friends season 8 episode The One With The Halloween Party. BAM!

Oh very good. Well done, that was quick too.

That’s right it was. Now that I’ve proven my extensive Friends knowledge let’s get back on track. We now have an Instagram!

Right! Follow us on Instagram please! Our username is justaskmysister. We will post there every time we add to the blog. Lots has happened in the last couple of years. As always we bounce ideas off of each other, vent when things head to the crap shoot and rely on each other for support and some comic relief. We hope that with a new year you will jump right in there with us. We really feel that the best part of our blog will be making connections with other people who may be struggling or enjoying some of the same things that we are. We can’t wait to read your comments and suggestions because truly, we all need all the help we can get.

Well said.

To start out the year look for posts about the new book club book for the month, a fantastic new recipe and pics of my new dog!

I have no new dog but I do have cats now! How many cats Stace? Come on don’t be ashamed to tell us…. Shh...I have cats, as in plural that’s all you need to know. THREE she has THREE cats!! She has more cats than children. Thank you for that. At least my cats are all cute and stuff and not a smelly dog. CATS RULE AND DOGS DROOL!!! Oh that’s below the belt!! Don’t attack Remy he’s a good boy. As you will all soon learn I am completely obsessed with my dog. Ob.Sessed.  Like it’s kind of creepy but he is a good puppy dog… Ok now is when you say something nice about my cats. There are so many, it’s hard to choose….

That was not nice! I have not even said some of the things I’m going to enrich the world with. This year I have decided to do the 100 New Book Challenge! I am very excited about it and also a little nervous or you know terrified that I'll be super lame and not reach my goal. Steph did it last year which got me to consider whether or not I could do it. After talking Steph's ear off about it for over a month I decided to take the plunge. I also have some tasty recipes that I think you will enjoy and hopefully some parenting tips and would love some much needed advice from you guys.

We have lots to talk about and some ideas to share. New books have been read, recipes have been tried and our kids are getting older and adding new challenges to our lives as moms. Happy New Year and welcome back to Just Ask My Sister!
