Bringing my daughter, Sophia, home from the hospital.Hey everyone! Jennifer here! I've made it through my first year (almost) of mommyhood and I am still alive. The first month was... Well, let's be honest, it was a little hellish. I mean, I love my daughter - in fact, the word "love" is an understatement - but the transition to parenthood can you really throw you for a loop (see how I got my "mom legs"). But the days, weeks, and months, have flown by and here I am, SUPERMOMMY! Well, at least I am SuperMommy to my ten month old. :)
So as some of you know, and some of you don't, I have spent the past three years fawning over this blog and my biz, Earthly Affair. It was and will always be my first baby.
But then I had a real baby... and things changed.
Sophia at 9 months old. I absolutely love working with every single one of my customers, creating and researching posts for this blog, and getting to know some amazing people within the wedding and green wedding industry. But taking care of my daughter full time, which has been my first and primary goal from day one, and running a business full time is really freaking hard. To those of you that do it, hats off to you my friends. Hats off. It was a tough, tough, TOUGH, decision, but I ultimately decided to pass the Earthly Affair torch on (see my personal post about this). Both this blog and the Earthly Affair website are now under the tender love and care of one Tiffany Drawdy - a SuperMommy herself with two kiddos. Tiffany, a graphic designer and printing rock star, has essentially been a part of Earthly Affair since we first opened in 2008. I am so excited for Tiffany! I know she will take excellent care of you!
So thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has read my silly, and not so silly, posts and supported the awesome EarthlyAffair.com site. Please know that Earth Friendly Weddings (this blog - duh!) will still be here. As for me, I am by no means done and will no doubt be dabbling in creative endeavors in the future. Until then, catch me over on Tumblr or at Twitter (now known as SerenelySilly) for some random life related happenings. :)
So long and thanks for all the fish! (anyone know where that's from? anyone?)

Congratulations on mommyhood! I'll miss your posts, but I totally understand having to do a priority check after a big life change.
And I'm pretty sure that's a Hitchhiker's Guide reference. ;)
Wish I knew where that quote is from...but I do know I wish you well! Mommyhood is THE most challenging, yet most fulfilling role you can ever play. Blessings!
Good luck Jen. Cutest mom ever. 42!
The answer to the ultimate question is 42. :-) Loooove that book.
@GlueandGlitter - Thank you for your kind words. And yep! Totally a Hitchhikers reference! :)
@Lissa - So true, so true. I love being a mommy and all the challenges and rewards it brings.

Good luck and have fun with your cute little baby!
I took off the first three years after my daughter's birth to take care of her and her little brother. I had a lot of fun with my children. You will too.
She is so pretty and adorable... Congrats to the whole family! :)
p.s. I really like your blog and would like to exchange links. I run a blog about weddings called the Sour Cherry (http://www.sourcherry.org/). Get back to me if you are interested :)
Wow She Looks very cute
Wedings are perhaps the area where greeness and sustainability get forgotten the most, so how cheering it is to read about Earth Friendly weddings.
All the very best :D
She is very cute and has a lovely smile. God bless her.
Wow! Thank you everyone so much for your kind comments and words of encouragement!
