2014 - The Year of My Blogging Hiatus

It wasn't on purpose…and I'm still trying to let myself off the hook for the guilt I feel over letting it slip. But 2014 was the first time in 5 years of blogging that I just simply couldn't keep up with it.  I probably could have…maybe if I watched less Netflix after the kids went to sleep (so tired!)…or woke up before the kids in the morning to make time for it.  But for a number of different reasons all combined…this blog went neglected.  I still love to write.  I miss this habit.  But so much has changed since I quit work...and it took awhile for it to all settle out if you will. In all honesty it is still settling out. And I know I am going to kick myself for the lost year on our blog.  I have a plan in place to try and work through some of the unblogged material…but inevitable some things will just be memories in our mind…without a freshly remembered/penned story and picture from the blog to remember it by.  That being said…I am starting fresh. Because it is a new year.  And that is what you do when the year is new right?? You take all the clutter left over from the year before and organize it, donate it or throw it out completely and simply move ahead. It is 2015…a new year.  A new start to several things in the way I'm living my life…and that includes my blogging habits.  I will be going month by month from the months I missed last year and recovering photos (we still took lots!) and include stories. But I'll be doing it a little at a time. While I work fervently to stay on top of the here and now! Everyday around these parts is an adventure and I don't want to miss another moment! So I'm starting from right now.

What is going on today??  Well this is my allotted get crap done time.  Daily I am getting up before the rest of my house and doing a myriad of things including email, drafting blog post ideas and looking over the calendar and getting set for the day.  Also, quite frankly enjoying some peace in the house.  Because boy do these guys keep me busy!!!


Annnnnd...I'm already running out of my allotted time slot so before I officially run myself late (another reason for the early rising) I'm going to hit save and post!  Wish me luck on this new journey.  I really want to work to get this habit back on track for me and my family!  Stay tuned for good things coming!
