A Life In Review

This is the longest break I’ve taken in years. I have been blogging since 2011 and when I started, it was a very different space than it is now. This break was two fold.

First, I felt really conflicted about what to share here. I crashed out a little bit over what to write. A lot of bloggers have taken a step back from traditional writing and turned their blogs into shopping links. I think there is a place for that, I myself have done some like that, but my primary focus on the blog has always been writing. It’s been such an incredible outlet for me.

I have until January to decide if I want to keep this blog running and I’d love some feedback. Are you still reading long form blogs, or have you tuned to video formats for entertainment at this point. I have a years worth of blog topic ideas, but I also value my time and once I share my next news, you will understand just how little extra time I have now…

My second reason for this break, was the fact that I was trying to survive one final first trimester. Yup, you read that right… I’m PREGNANT 🥹🥹

In the most wild turn of events, we are having another baby. I won’t get into it too much here, but we truly didn’t think we’d ever be able to have another kiddo, so this has been quite the little miracle/surprise. The first trimester kicked my butt and I used all my free time to lay down. The times that I usually would spend writing and creating content suddenly became my only time to squeeze in rest, because life hasn’t slowed down any with my older two. But, this is also the most precious time, a time that I will never take for granted.

All that said, I truly don’t know what this blog holds for 2026, but I didn’t want to continue to leave my sweet loyal readers hanging. I hope that you’ll stick around and give me grace as a I figure out where I want to go with this page. And, if you want more up to date content, follow me on instagram or TikTok where I’m still creating regular content.
