There have been some big changes in my life since the last time I added a post. Mainly, we moved to a new home that needed a lot of updating. I had planned on doing a lot of posts showing the progress we've been making, but when you are constantly doing indoor renovations, landscape editing along with the other routine home stuff, on top of keeping a toddler busy, things fall by the wayside and that something was writing. But that's not the only thing...
I'm just not sure how I feel about being a blogger. I started blogging because I love to write as a hobby, and it's fun to get my thoughts down, and especially to document recipes (because I do love to cook). But I have always felt a little weird about the whole putting everything out there for anyone and everyone to see. I also don't have any expectations that anyone IS actually reading this at all. And for the people who did read it, I didn't want it to seem like I was trying to be showy and someone I was not. So, it just felt weird, transparent, trendy and not quite me. When I read back on my earlier posts I think I was using a voice other than my own because I thought that is what blogging was supposed to be - and it wasn't me.
But in the time I've not kept up on this blog, I've felt a little empty. I've been keeping busy, but I needed a hobby, and I love to write. As a mom, it's important to keep your interests up, even though you are doing so much for other people on a daily basis. So I decided to keep this up for me. Not for what other people might think, but for me to keep writing as a hobby, to document my thoughts and to document what life is like. I look forward to coming back in the future and seeing a snapshot of what life is like right now. Life is short and I want to honor the everyday moments by keeping track of it. If for no one else, for me. And that is enough.
