We're Back!

Posted by Amy Baranski and Melissa Baumgart

After a year of changes and falling of the blogging wagon, Good Luck With That is back for a new year.  It will be our 4th year and likely the best one yet!

Here is what we will be up to throughout this coming year:

February:  Letter Writing
March:  Lose Weight
April:  Paleo Diet
May:  Genealogy
June:  Run a Race
July:  Styling
August:  iPhotography
September:  Picnicking
October:  Soccer
November:  Pinterest Projects
December:  Macrame
January:  Relaxation/Self-Care

Realistically, we had to take a long hard look at living a full life AND giving time to the blog.  Amy is a new Mom and Melissa is a full time midwifery student (and Mom of 3).  We decided that we need this.  The blog's purpose is to step out of our comfort zones, to try new things, and above all to give back to ourselves and tap into our creativity.  When you're busy, it's easy to put yourself to the side.  We're starting over - for us.  And we hope that you also pledge to do some new things this year - for you!

Catching up!

Posted by Amy Baranski

I think I'm finally ready to blog again. Where to start?

In the process of having a baby and becoming a mother I abandoned blogging, which was the OPPOSITE of what I would have predicted from my former child-less self. Who knew. :-P

I've done so many things since I last checked in with you all--yet only one of them pertained to the official blog activities: hanging out in cemeteries (something I've done before but forced my new little family to do together. It was ... uh ... weird). Suffice to say I've had my hands full trying new things and expanding my sense of self every single day. What a great adventure it's been. In that sense I feel somewhat faithful to the spirit of the blog. I've been exactly where I needed to be. But I miss connecting with you and also the challenge of trying a new thing each month and writing about that struggle or accomplishment. So I'd like to give it another go!

Bob, and Babeski are doing well; we've been together now for six months?!?! Here's to the start of a new year. What will the 2013 blog list bring...I wonder.

Stand-Up Comedy : Home Birth Style

Welcome to December!
We keep getting later and later.  But we're in midwifery school and becoming a new mom.  Seems fitting to post this clip from comedian Jim Gaffigan.  Enjoy!!
