Busy Being Tara

Well… It’s been a while.

By “a while,” I mean about two years since I last posted here on Busy Being Tara. I have archived my past posts for a fresh start!

Life has a funny way of taking us in unexpected directions. What started as a place to share everyday moments, recipes, special occasions, and the things I was enjoying slowly got pushed aside as life became busier and priorities shifted. Before I knew it, months had turned into years.

Over the past two years, I’ve grown in ways I never could have imagined. I graduated with a bachelor’s in Psychology and Sociology, and I’ve returned to school and am currently pursuing a master’s in Social Work. I’ve pursued new professional goals, become involved in incredible community projects, met amazing people, and learned a lot about myself along the way. There have been challenges, successes, lessons, and more than a few moments where I felt like I was simply trying to keep all the pieces together.

Through it all, I’ve realized how much I missed having a space to write, reflect, and share.

So, I’m bringing Busy Being Tara back.

This site may look a little different from before. While you’ll still find personal stories, recipes, product recommendations, and the occasional life update, I also want to share more about the things that matter to me today—community, wellness, learning, preparedness, photography, adventures, and the everyday experiences that make life interesting.

No strict schedule, no pressure to be perfect, just a place to document my life as it happens.

If you’ve followed along in the past, thank you for sticking around. If you’re new here, welcome. I’m glad you’re here.

Here’s to new beginnings, fresh perspectives, and finding joy in the busy.

— Tara 🙂

P.S. If you’ve ever stepped away from something you loved and wondered if it was too late to come back, consider this your reminder that it’s never too late to start again. ❤️
