Hello old friends!
I hope that you are all well. It has been a very, very long time since I sat down and wrote a post on little ol’ Lilt Blog, and I suppose I should probably start this particular one with a bit of an explanation as to why I disappeared into the darkness without any explanation.
Most of you who know me in real life, or follow me on social media probably have some idea as to the reason, which is that for the past few months I have been quite busy planning a wedding.
Believe it or not having to distance myself from the blog over the past 3 months has been very difficult for me, as I really do put a lot of my time and heart into it, and I did miss it terribly. But having a full-time job, planning a wedding, running a blog and still managing to get enough sleep and not go insane is quite a juggling act, and so something had to give…
But although I do feel bad that I’ve neglected Lilt Blog and the lovely people who visit my website every week, I do believe the break was really worth it in the end. Refreshing really.
Firstly, in what I can only describe as “the absolute freakin’ best day of my life”, on Saturday 5th December 2015 I got to marry my best friend of 12 1/2 years Grange Wallis. Thanks to the time that Grange and I both put into carefully selecting, our venue, suppliers, and details for our big day I have a great number of posts to share with you all. (Don’t worry, Lilt will not be turning into a wedding blog, but we definitely have some awesome Australian creatives and suppliers which we want to share with you all next year)
Heading straight to the honeymoon after the wedding was such a great idea and luxury, not only did Grange and I get to celebrate in beautiful Ubud and Gili Islands while we were still on a wedding high, but I feel totally refreshed and inspired by the world around me, ready to jump all in, and start creating more useful, interesting and entertaining content for Lilt Blog and for you.
I’m so happy to be back and looking forward to sharing this next step (and year) with you all!
Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Sending you all lots of LOVE –Luciana
