Thoughts on Blogging

Lately I've felt no desire whatsoever to blog. I would be lying if I said that the thought of deleting this blog hasn't crossed my mind more than once. Whenever I have a free minute while Zaden is napping next to me I decide I would much rather turn on netflix or finally get in the habit of keeping our bedroom clean and folding that dreaded basket of clean laundry. However, every day that passes by that I don't photograph or record Zaden I go to bed with a feeling of regret. He is growing up so fast and I want to document and cherish every second. I look back at photos that I haven't posted like these ones and I wonder why. It only took 15 minutes of my free time to edit the photos and to start this mess of a post. I want to learn how to photograph better. I want to take more videos of Zaden and our family. I'm hoping that I can get into the habit of pulling out my camera and actually posting photos relatively quickly like I used to. It takes a couple of weeks to form a  habit and hopefully I can get back into the swing of this blogging thing. I've made so many great friends through blogging and instagram and I want to thank those of you who are still reading and taking interest in my little family.

  2. aww yes they grow up so fast and I understand were you are coming from since I am a mother too. In a blink of an eye my baby is now almost 8 years old in a few months. Where did the time go? Lately now that I stayed home and chaperone him with all his baseball games and practice, i feel actually great. and the best part is when he gives good reviews with all my cooking and said that I am the best "cooker" ever !

  3. Please don't stop blogging! I love seeing your cute little guy grow, even if I haven't had the chance to meet him in person yet!

  4. This is something that I, too, tend to struggle with as of lately. Family > blogging.

  5. Amen sister. I have felt the same way a lot of the time. Life just changes after you have a baby and your priorities seem to shift drastically. But then I look back at all of the posts about my little family and I fall in love with blogging all over again. It's such a good way to document and then remember things. I have loved reading your blog over the past year and following your journey into motherhood. If it were up to me I'd say keep it up!

  7. Zaden is so adorable, it's definitely not a surprise you've felt like there's other things you'd prefer to do than blog! I'm sure you'll get back into the swing of it when you're ready and your readers will be waiting for you :-) x

  10. I'd definitely be sad if you stopped blogging, but I know what you mean. I've lost the desire to blog lately because almost every spare moment I get has been spent keeping house and trying to prepare for this little girl's arrival. Maybe I'd have more time now if I wasn't working full time, but I won't finish work until she gets here, and them it will be working as a mommy full time.

  11. well i, for one, miss you when you're not around these internets. :) thank god for instagram!

    i don't have kids yet, but i imagine that there's a lot of things tugging at you - things that need to get done, guilt over not doing other things, etc. - so to that i say, take all the time you need! keep a camera close by, and update us when you can. :)
