Y'all. I kind of took a little blogging hiatus. It wasn't planned, but it was wonderful. I have to tell you, when I started this blog, B had just moved to Chicago and I had a lot more free time. It was fun and it kept me occupied and even better than that, when I myself made the move to Chicago, I actually met and made friends via this little blog {I am aware that sounds crazy, but it's true}. But now, my free time is less and between all of life's events and to do's, it has become another on the list and well, that's not the point. SO, I did some thinking and I want this blog to be a way that friends and family can keep up with us from hundreds of miles away and a place to share the things I love-not a place that I feel obligated to search for trends and post round ups and write about what I think others want to read. Bottom line? STP is going to change some. Basically I'm going to post about whatever I want, whenever I want, which I can tell you right now, won't be every day. If you want to keep reading, terrific! If I continue to make more friends, even better! And if not, that is okay, too, because the whole point of this was that I had a place to share what I want to share during my free time and that's exactly what I plan to do from here on out.
On that note, I hope you have a wonderful weekend doing whatever YOU want to do :)

i've totally been there too, it's really brave of you to do this post. and i'm glad you're taking care of yourself. i'll keep reading ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS!!! And I am SOOO Glad I met you, and I have to agree, do it for you not for anything else!!! xoxoxo - PS can we please schedule our next WINE date?!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo with you ~ you've just articulated my thoughts much more clearly than I ever have! :) I find that my life often doesn't afford me the time to post every day, and then this stresses me as I feel that's what readers want. But really, blogging is all about the voice behind the post, aka ~ so it should be about what YOU want. I'm still trying to find a solution that doesn't leave me with pangs of guilt ~ but I think this week is my blogging "hiatus" so I can clear my mind and reset expectations (with myself!)

good for you!!! ive been on the same page lately - not having time for it and feeling like i HAVE to post. it shouldnt feel that way so cheers to you and the new six twelve place :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for the new Six Twelve Place. And a blog is supposed to be fun. It shouldn't feel like a drag. Somedays I just get burnt and end up posting some random photo that I took maybe ages ago that just touches me or makes me smile or makes me remember. Looking forward to your posts!
ReplyDeleteI think that sounds like a great idea! And it'll keep it sincere and true to you. Can't wait to keep reading! xx ~L
ReplyDeleteaww I posted this same thing this past week! I totally hear ya girl!
ReplyDeleteBlogging can take a toll and we all need the perfect amount of balance, even if it means going away to enjoy life for a while.
We'll all still be here ;)
