    My Life Lately...

    Oct 21, 2010 · Modified: Jul 15, 2021 by Erica Dinho · 37 Comments

    I want to apologize to all of my readers for not posting as often these past couple of months and to my blogging friends for not visiting your blogs as often. I do have a couple of pretty good excuses though...

    I have some news that I've been meaning to share with you for a while now, but I just haven't had the time to write even a short post such as this.

    Okay guys, here it is... I am expecting my second baby and I had a difficult first trimester. It was really hard to cook, go to the market and even talk too about food.

    The second excuse is that I started I new job at the same time! But I am feeling a lot better lately and am cooking again and I promise that I will be posting more often. I'm deeply grateful to you all for reading my blog day after day.

    Sincerely,
    Erica

      Congratulations on being a mom for the second time. I am new to your site but I am enjoying it very much. Six months ago I made a friend in Cali and this is my first Colombian friend. Thanks again for sharing your recipes.

      Erica, that's great news. Congratulations both for your pregnancy and new job. I am very happy for you and there is no need to apologize. I haven't been around much either as I am determined to finish my book but I always try and comment back whenever I get a comment.
