If you've read
Champs & Pearls before then it was probably obvious that there's been a name change here! I had pretty much given up blogging until I moved to Sweden. I had numerous people asking about our life in Sweden and wanting to know more details and hear stories. I would tell my family the crazy and funny situations I was in and they constantly told me to write about these experiences. This lead me back to
Champs & Pearls. However, I felt that the
Champs & Pearls chapter of my life closed. This title was silly and frivolous and just didn't fit with my new adventure. Chris asked me about creating a new blog, but that wasn't something I was ready to delve into just yet. After some consideration, I decided a change and reinvention was necessary.
The title "Notes From The Matchbox" came about organically. I was having one of my "I hate everything about this situation and I am so unbelievably over it"
fits moments and jokingly called our apartment a matchbox in reference to it's small size to Chris. He thought this was funny and continued to use this term in conversations since then. My clever, English major sister came up with "notes from the matchbox" title and it just fit! I thought this would be perfect for re-branding and giving this little blog a purpose. Don't worry, I still love champagne and pearls ;)!
For those of you loving, loyal readers who bookmarked my previous blog page you will need to re save this one as the website link has changed.
Moving forward I will continue to share updates on my getting back to Sweden status as well as some of the experiences I had previously. I hope you come back frequently to join in with me!
