I realize it's been a long time since I've written on this here blog. I'm also pretty sure I've said that about a thousand times on this blog, but whatever. I really can only think of one reason I haven't updated for a while and that's this...is anyone even reading this thing?
Years ago I started this blog as a way of staying in touch with my family. I updated with photos and goings on with the family. I never intended for this blog to be a big hit or anything...it was just meant to be within the close knit people in my life. Now, I feel as though it's more of a journal (which I'm a horrible journal writer...so what am I thinking?). I love that I'm able to write about whatever I feel like and not get backlash from anyone.
With that said, though, I'm starting to feel like what's the point? Maybe I WANT people to actually comment and give a crap about what I'm sharing and pouring out. Maybe I do want to write about things I love and awesome recipes and great advice. Let's be honest we all want people to care about what we are doing. Ha Ha!! Ok seriously, I just don't want this blog to go to waste. I feel like I've spent years making this blog feel authentic(because it is) and hopefully feeling connected to what it is that I'm writing. But, I need to just be better about it.
One of my favorite movies is Julie and Julia. In the movie, Julie's friend has a successful blog, and Julie (who's a writer) is talking to her husband about her frustration with feeling unsuccessful as a writer and replies to this blog mumbo jumbo with "I HAVE THOUGHTS!" Well, I'm feeling just like Julie! I have things to say, things to review, and of course loads of pictures of my adorable children. So it's time to get real. I'm revving' up the blogging juices...get ready...whoever you are that reads this!
