I call this blog Keeping Busy with B because a) my first initial is B; and b) because I always find some way of being busy. With any number of projects on the go at any given time, I’m never bored. And that’s kind of like life these days- everyone rushes around doing errands, checking things off of to-do lists and getting things done. It’s all too easy to get overwhelmed, so I share my struggles on finding balance with the hope that other people will benefit from my experience (or commiserate!)
