Happy Monday, my lovely friends!
I don’t know if you noticed, but I’ve been on a mini-hiatus for the last week. My kids took turns with a nasty cold and I was a zombie most days. I planned on mentally taking a blog break, but it turned out life decided to force it on me anyway! Aside from seeing my kids ill (which is never fun), it was nice to focus on living life, instead of writing about it. Blogger friends, ya feel me?!
As most of my blogging friends well know, blogging never sleeps. There’s always something to do at all hours of the day (or night). So it’s really hard to step away. But, sometimes it’s exactly what you NEED to do; both for the good of your sanity and your blog. So here I am, having enjoyed my time away and recharged to get back into the blogging game at my own pace.
My break away ended just as I hit a small milestone on the blog! Yesterday marked 6 months since I bought this domain and started writing random posts! Time flies when you’re blogging! I’m grateful for all of the exciting adventures this past half year has brought into my world. I have so much I want to write and share with bloggers just getting started! I want to write about my mistakes, my lessons learned, my successes, and ways to monetize a green blog (if that’s your thing.) Here’s a few posts I’ve written so far about blogging, if you want to check it out:
- How I Got 20K Views in my 2nd Month of Blogging
- 5 Tips for Blog Life Balance
- How I Gained 1K Real & Fun Instagram Followers in Just One Month
I can’t wait to see what the next six months will hold for me and this lil’ blog of mine. More than anything, I feel so lucky for all of the wonderful and genuine friendships I’ve found on this crazy journey I decided to embark on in April.
Cheers to the next six months!
