So, as anybody who actually reads this blog knows, I kind of suck at actually keeping up with it. I take pictures, I write notes for myself to expand on later, but no matter what I do, I fall behind, time and time again. I've "threatened" from time to time to take a step back from my blog. And, I believe I'm finally going to follow through with that threat this year. I have posted "daily" for 3 years now, and while I love doing it, the thought of keeping up with it gets overwhelming. So, I'm going to try out a weekly post, vs. daily, for a while to see how that goes. Posting pictures from the week, highlighting the bigger events and activities of our lives.
I do believe we have a big year ahead of us, and definitely some life I'll want to share with the world, but I don't think the world needs to know that we had a relaxing night at home, or that I was exhausted and went to bed early anymore :)
One thing that drives me nuts about blogging is that you don't really know who's out there - who cares, who's reading, who really wants to be involved in your life. So, that's just an added reason to take a step back. Not knowing who, if anybody, I'm even writing for, I figure I might as well save myself a little time (and those few readers while I'm at it!)
So, here's to 2013 (again) and a little bit of a new look to the blog. Here we go!
I think stepping back is awesome - there is something to be said for just living life - not documenting it all! I try to use my blog as a means to capture the stuff i think my kids will enjoy reading when they are older... I think about how my blog will look and read when I turn it into a book (which I plan on doing!). I had to go back and edit (and even delete) a bunch of posts so that there was way less swearing, and less sadness. (Mine started when I was trying to get over an ectopic m/c)
ReplyDeleteI do read - I have no freaking idea who you really are, but I do enjoy reading!! :) So just do what feels right.
Thanks Jodi, and I'm glad you still read after all this time :) I do enjoy writing and capturing our lives. When I look back to the beginning, it's fun to see how the blog/pictures/writing has morphed over the years. My original intent was to create a "blog book" for every year that we could go back to read and relive our lives - maybe I'll still do it one day. But, I suppose a weekly post will still capture that essence, and focus more on the important moments.
