Reporter Natalie Polley is back from maternity leave!
Well hey there guys, I'm back from maternity leave!
On January 3, I gave birth to my first child - Jack.
It's been such an incredible experience watching my helpless newborn baby grow into a chubby little six-month-old who is already trying to talk. (He'll probably be a chatterbox like his mum).
But all good things must come to end, and so here I am back at my desk and it's already feeling a bit like I never left.
The cliches about time speeding by when you have a child are true.
I'm pretty excited to get back into work mode. I'd missed the hilarious office banter and adult conversations.
As any stay-at-home parent knows, sometimes it can get a little bit hard without that mental stimulation.
Maternity leave definitely confirmed to me that I love my job - I love interacting with people, I love writing and I love our team here at Franklin County News.
I can't wait to hear from the Franklin community again!

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
