Full disclosure to my readers.

I am simply buzzing with things to write about lately: big things are happening for Ari and I and here at this blog. We've made some concrete decisions about family planning, and I've been doing lots of rearranging and coding and redecorating around the old blog. I'll save the big family planning news for its own post. For now, I want to fully disclose some pretty big changes here at Hannah Wept, Sarah Laughed.

Basically, I don't want there to be any doubts about what I'm doing here on this blog and who I'm working with. At the end of the day, I love writing, I love being an advocate and resource, and I'm passionate about sharing my experiences with the "Internet with a capital I" - but if I'm going to start pumping a little more effort into this blog, I need to make sure I'm getting a little something back too. I hope you'll continue to read and follow- a lot of this is just some cosmetic changes, but the content and vision of this blog remain the same.

Stay tuned for big news re: decisions on what's next with regard to building our family! Ari and I have been just brimming with excitement to blast the news here, but it's almost 3:30am, and I'm in no state to craft something of quality just yet.
