So! For my first REAL post that isnt just a, "hey! i'm back!" I will just go over a brief overview of whats been happening...
As I mentioned in the previous post, my family and I have moved into a nice little house back in the "city". This is big news coming from a terrible, run down little house (full of spiders and mice in the walls) in a small town about 30 minutes out of town...Just thinking about that place makes me depressed! But seeing as I am no longer there, I am now motivated to craft, and try all sorts of new things and get my life where I want it to be!
So on that topic, I am teaching myself how to sew...so far it is going quite well and I enjoy it very much, but alas...I hit a wall...I can not finish the adorable baby booties I started because I do not have an IRON! You read that right folks, I have been living without an iron for my entire adult life (only 4 years I suppose, but hey, I cant believe it!).
My husband and I also just started all our seeds for our garden, which I am very excited about! Finally we can have a garden! Hopefully it will flourish and I will have to give some produce away! We shall see. I am not putting all my eggs in THAT basket. lol. However I am going to give the garden my BEST effort!
Speaking of vegetables, and lifestyle changes, I am very proud to say that we have just joined the local CSA and will start getting boxes of FRESH, locally grown, mostly organic produce once a week from June through October. This is a big step for us. I cant wait to post some photos and interesting ideas surroundnig my weekly gift of produce!
Cooking. I have always loved eating good food, and therefore always loved cooking good food. I'll just come right out and say it. I am a dynamo in the kitchen. I love to cook and bake, and I love to find tasty, ways to cook and bake healthy food. So expect that in the future! I also hope to attempt canning this year!
I will sign off of this post beaming with inspiration and hoping for a few people to follow along on my journey =).
Welcome! Take a break and witness the revival of the homemaker as I learn new skills and refine the ones I already have! I hope you will cook, sew, crochet, garden and clean with me!

Gentleman! Start Your Engines!...again.
Hello!
Well...it seems as though I had completely, 100% abandoned my blog...lost all interest! Well, it turns out that major life events (mainly moving away from a terrible place that did not motivate me to do ANY thing) brings back my desire to blog...
While "The Guiding Bite" was previously on another platform (I cant even remember WHAT website. lol) I have decided to resurrect it here. It will continue to be about my adventures in food, both at home and eating out. It will contain some successful recipes, potentially some disasters and hopefully a little humility when it comes to the kitchen. lol.
This new and improved version will probably contain plenty of my crafty adventures from crocheting, to sewing, to some other, misc. crafts. Maybe I should have revised the name to, "The Every girl's Guide to Martha Stewart"...oh well. It is what it is!
In any case, I hope to keep at this and I hope to generate at least a few followers. Hopefully this will be a fun endeavor for everyone!
