A New Year, A New Outlook
It’s 2011 and boy does time fly by. I began blogging in the summer/fall of 2009. I was looking for an outlet, a way to connect and share with other moms. I started out strong in the posting department and then slowed down. I learned that blogging in itself has a huge learning curve and it can get a bit overwhelming. Why are you doing this? Where to start? How to reach out to others? What is popular, overindulged, or different/interesting?
I tried different things some worked, others didn’t. I jumped in full force and evenually was on overload. I haven’t really regularly posted in quite a few months. I got lost along the way with all the hype and feeling of trying to compete. Wondering how I could actually generate income and get more followers.
Getting pregnant didn’t exactly help. A whole new stress of how we will do it financially? Will I really be able to manage 4 children, when the 3 I have can be a handful already? This pregnancy has been a bit different. I have felt a bit lost, and even a little down. I’m sure it’s just a mixture of things but it has been rough some days. Throw all that together and working on my blog was just set aside. I truly enjoyed blogging and the interaction with other women.
But it’s NOW officially 2011 and I’m ready for a whole new outlook. A refreshing start.
