Just an apology....

But not the sort you're probably expecting. As I look back over my blog in the last few months I really feel like I've kind of lost touch with what I was doing. It's gone from fun with others to just painting nails and that makes me sad :( I'm going to be stepping back to try to figure out where I went wrong.

I used to engage a lot with others. I think I've hit a small bout of depression and I don't really know what to do with it. I'm doing incredible in some areas of my life but I feel out of touch with how to be a great mommy and that kind of consumes my thoughts lately. I lurk on blogs but don't comment so much anymore and spend huge amounts of time to do these elaborate manicures and then simply put the pictures up. I've lost the spirit.

I think when my baby girl gets home I'm going to sit and look through all her pretties with her. Maybe I just need to see the world through her eyes...I dunno. I hate this kind of funk - it frustrates me. I started this blog for fun and I feel like I don't even know what the direction for it is now.

I used to dream of doing posts with baby girl when she gets older. Mommy does, Baby Girl does....that sort of thing. We'll see...

  1. Aww well I hope you see your blog as fun again :) I'm still new to blogging so I haven't gotten to that point yet but I can see it happening for sure. Take a little break and find the joy you used to have :)

  2. It'll be good for you to step back for a minute. Maybe that's all you really need to do to try and fix what's bothering you about blogging. I'm new to blogging like Kelly but I can see how easy it is to lose sight of your original intentions. It can become monotonous really quickly if you feel forced to post everyday :)

  3. Been here before too, hun. Family and real life always comes first and we'll miss you, but we all respect whatever you have to do for yourself. Enjoy some time away and maybe the absence will make you miss it and want to come back <3

  4. I understand you perfectly! I am a mommy to and sometimes we just need a break from everything that was fun sometimes. Enjoy the time away, family comes first and I hope you will come back with energy and new ideas that will bring back the spirit!

  5. I'm so sorry you're going through this. The emotions involved with these little nail blogs... yowzaa. It's pretty wild. That's awesome that you're in tune enough to see when something's amiss. Your baby girl looks like such a doll, and such a personality. I hope I get to meet her soon. Lifting you up, friend. :) :)

  6. All of you are so wonderful - thanks so much for the feedback - gonna finish out the week and then take next week off to just evaluate some things. I love blogging but I just need to take a breath I think. I saw some great tips from some bigger bloggers so I think if I restructure it'll feel better. *HUGS* to all of you <3
