I’m done not-blogging

Oh, hello there! Let me just go ahead and turn on the lights… brush off the cobwebs… straighten this picture frame…. Ahhh. That’s better.

So *ahem*, it’s been a while. Sorry about that. How are you doing? If, that is, there’s anyone there at all… hmmm.

Well, what can I say? I took a bit of a break from blogging. It wasn’t planned. Everything just got to be too much and not-blogging felt so good. So I kept doing it. Not-blogging.

I’d only planned to not-blog for a couple of months. But in the blink of an eye, it seems that more than a year has gone by without a peep from me.

It turns out that I’m a really good not-blogger. Like, professional level. People should pay me to not-blog.

That’s not to say I haven’t been writing. Since I last blogged, a lot has happened. I quit a terrible job that had weighed me down mentally for more than seven years, and then I became a freelance writer (and occasional editor). That means I’ve actually been writing quite a lot. Just not here.

Going freelance has been one of the best choices I ever made. It was a risk and it was scary, but it was also necessary. Even a year and a bit later, Hubby regularly mentions how much happier I am now – and I know it has made a difference to how I spend time with my family. I even went on holiday WITHOUT my laptop. Plus, our house is SO MUCH cleaner (but still messy) and my bank balance is slightly healthier too (although, still rather anaemic).
In here, we can list some acidic foods out, such as: pickles, pomegranates, rice vinegar, waxberry, wild jujube,etc. viagra price appalachianmagazine.com Some companies around all over the world used to research cialis samples on a particular seller. But traditional accounting systems can’t show the hundreds of generic versions of the same thing that exist) do not offer the ability to increase your testosterone cheap cialis levels. People basically should focus on getting over this problem instead of just being with it and creating more of complications into their wholesale sildenafil own life.
In any case, I’ve decided to give up not-blogging and pay some attention to this site again. While I love writing for my freelance clients, I miss writing for myself. Writing without a brief, about anything I want. With incomplete sentences and tangents and my own personality woven into sometimes-wonky paragraphs.

The focus of this here blog is going to change a bit too, as I’m going to step away from the mommy-blogging. Pumpkin is a smart, funny, beautiful and strong-willed little person these days. But now that she’s at school, I’ve been discovering myself again (at least for 6ish hours each weekday).

I feel like I need to give her some breathing space online and focus on me and the things I want to do. Besides, there are so many wonderful bloggers out there already who do a much better job writing about motherhood than I ever did.

Of course, that’s not to say that I won’t not-blog about my family, but the focus will be on me – what I’m doing and how I’m improving me. There’s a LOT of material to cover on that front.

So, what will I be writing about? Well, probably a big mix of things – all in a general vein of how I’m trying to become more organised, more creative, more healthy and with a cosier home. I’ll throw in a bit of travel wherever possible and maybe some nice food stuff too.

Basically, I’m trying to get my shi…stuff together, and I’m taking this blog along with me for the ride. You’re invited to come too.

Thanks for stopping by!
