Note: Hey kids, I was hoping you all could bear with me a little bit. I am incredibly swamped at work and will not be able to update the blog as much as I have in the past. Hopefully everything will go back to normal in the upcoming weeks when stuff starts to calm down. But do check back everyday, I will at least be doing the daily crawl and maybe a few things extra! Thanks for your patience - Kate
