I’m back! You may have noticed that my last blog post was ten months ago. I went sober for nine months because we found out we were pregnant!

Dan and I welcomed our baby boy on February 14th. Being sober for all those months was definitely challenging, but oh so worth it when our son Parker arrived. I gave myself a few days to recover, but quickly enjoyed my first post pregnancy beer. I wanted to take it easy, enjoy something light, and make sure it was a beer I knew I would enjoy. I went with Riot Juice from Hidden Springs and it was even tastier than what I remember.

Life has been different since having Parker enter our lives. We avoid large can releases, we’ve passed on bottle shares, and we spend our free time drinking beer from our couch instead of at beer events. However, beer is and will always be a big part of my life.

I am still out exploring breweries and craft beer bars in and around Central Florida, and I invite you (again) to follow me on my journey!
