Time…where does it go??

Crystal: So weird…I was sitting here trying to think of what to write my blog post on, and the thing that's been on my mind all day is Caydan's (my son) birthday party at the end of this month…so I was going to see if anyone had any fun suggestions for games or party favors or anything…..then I realized, wow – I remember writing a similar blog asking for party game suggestions LAST YEAR for his birthday…..which means that Beachy Keen is over a year old already!!! Serious?!?!?

Where on earth does the time go…? That just blows my mind. It seems like yesterday we were scheming our usual schemes…what concept to run with next, how to develop it, our logo, etc.
I have high hopes for the future of this blog though! We'll be making a Facebook Fan Page soon, which I hope all of our readers will join!! Facebook is a great way to post a quick update or be able to say a quick HI to everyone.

Looking forward to 2010 and all it has to offer.

Jen: Time sure does fly! It was such a surreal feeling when Haute Whimsy hit its one year mark back in October. And I really didn't realize that Beachy Keen was already a year old, too!

We started started strong on this blog, focusing on trending topics and controversial conversations, with the goal of generating great involvement from our readers. But, as it tends to go from time to time, life got in the way.

Dear readers, in case you haven't noticed, Jen and Crystal always have a lot on their plates at any given time ;) We love living this way, but need to be better about stream-lining it to our blog. My resolution this year is to share my life here if I get too busy to concentrate on trending topics. Beachy Keen deserves our attention, regardless of the topic :)

I think that our upcoming fan page is going to be a great success, and I sincerely hope to see you all there on Facebook! Our readers are the best!

Free Time

JH: Question of the day ...

How do you spend your alone time? I know you rarely get any, between your family and your busy schedule, but when you do how do you spend it?!

Joe was gone Saturday night so I cleaned up during the day so I would have a stress-free place to relax! Then I picked out super comfy pajamas, took a long hot bath, and sunk into bed for a night of "Jen-friendly" TV. I also indulged in Bacon Ranch Pringles! It was awesome!

CH: I think you hit the nail on the head...I don't really get any...I don't really need it though either I guess.....once in awhile I have an opportunity to be at home alone for an hour or so - say if I get off of work early and Caydan is still at daycare....but instead of leaving him at daycare, I choose to go pick him up and bring him home with me.............I like having him around, even if he drives me crazy sometimes. :)

I guess I don't like really being alone....although sometimes on a weekend night I stay up late and work on the computer after everyone is sleeping - so that's my alone time.....so I guess what I do with my alone time is - work. The only time I don't have to feel guilty for not spending enough time with Dan and Caydan. :) I have too many things on my to-do list to spend free time doing anything else. :)

Our family getaways is my relaxing time where I don't work...so that's why I love to get out of town. :)
