For the last year I have been absent when it comes to blogging. There are a few contributors; I was feeling like it was just another thing, I was tired with the hosting site we had and was wanting to change, I was finding myself more drawn to the digital world and not spending time in the real world.
When I began blogging back in 2009, the main reason was so that I would capture moments in our family’s life. I enjoy words and it was an avenue for me to spill the thousands of words that float around in my head. In May of 2012 I found myself needing to move from one blogging platform to another as I had run out of space for pictures. Most of the reason that I blogged was to share family pictures with friends and family far and wide. In January of last year I just stopped!
I found myself being more consumed by what others thought of me and our family blog that my joy of putting words together and adding shots of our family was stolen. I was consumed with the fact that there are so many other blogs out there, who would want to read my words. I was frustrated by my feeling like I needed to keep up with the Jones’ that I lost the main reason why I started in 2009.
I am just a mom sharing the antics of my crazy never dull life.
I discovered that I was having just as much fun sharing my photos on Instagram that I neglected the wordsmithing of a blog. In the last few months I have begun to miss putting words to the ramblings of my heart. I am not making any guarantees of the longevity of that desire, however I am here for the time.
