Blog Name Change

Five years ago I started a blog to share a little bit of our married life with our friends and family. Even though I am an infrequent blogger at best, it has been a fun way to write down memories. Five years later, I feel like I've outgrown the name "Crispy Instant Mashed Potatoes" for a few reasons:

1) It is a ridiculous name. Well, maybe that doesn't count as a reason since I am pretty ridiculous anyway.

2) I don't make instant mashed potatoes very often anymore. 

3) Life has changed dramatically what with having kids and all, and my purposes in blogging have changed slightly.

I was telling Brad and Lauren that I wanted to start blogging more to keep track of what recipes I'm making with what changes, the books I'm reading and if I liked them, and any other successes and failures in my day to day life. Brad suggested I have a blog name that referenced the Half Blood Prince's potions book because a) he wrote down notes of what did and didn't work in his potions and b) I love Harry Potter. Obviously. Thus, the Half Baked Princess was born.

Prepare yourself for more posts on food, more posts on books, and obviously more posts about how I tend to make life a little crazier than it needs to be. But that's the best way, right?

I have a lot of blog posts in the works, like the birth story/introduction of this dude. We like him. I'm sure you will, too.
