I've come a long way since I started this blog in January 2012. Nearly 150 posts later and here I am, the proud mum of two beautiful children.
Droolface is nearly 4 and Jane aka Birdy is 14 months. It's been an amazing time working on this blog and meeting other moms and their babies. I have learned so much. I have enjoyed sharing my stories here.
But, I need a break. Between a full-time job, a part-time job, two kids, a husband, Master's Degree classes, and various side freelance projects, I am running full-tilt most of the time. I have decided to take a step back and enjoy life before it runs away from me.
The blog - adventuresindrool.com - has been taken down and any future posts will appear exclusively here or on the Facebook page, which I will keep up in order to share parenting news and tips.
I will close out here in David Letterman fashion with my Top 10 list of blogs from the past few years.
10 - The glories of kale and potty training
8 - Make your bed!
7 - My quest for the perfect, non-toxic kid’s cup
6 - Toxic Thursday: What the what are phthalates?
5 - 'Tis the season to be outside
3 - Adventures in Drool: Always more love
2 - The sarcasm tree
Thanks for reading the blog and I hope to be back some day with parenting tips as my two little ones grow. Keep up the good work and I will see you around the playground!

Rachel Swick Mavity, author of the blog, lives with a reformed drooler (Droolface), who at age 3 loves to get muddy, drink homemade smoothies, giggle and flirt with old ladies. Her current drooler (Birdy) enjoys spitting up on work clothes and leaving drool trails as a way of showing her love.
Mavity previously worked as a journalist for seven years at newspapers from Pennsylvania to Maryland and Delaware. In Sussex County she worked for several newspapers, including the Cape Gazette. She lives in Lewes with her husband, Ryan Mavity, their son, "Droolface," and daughter, "Birdy."
