Follow my blog with BloglovinThis post will probably give you a little bit more of an insight into my failings as a mom, but that’s OK!
Everyone has some knowledge or experience to share that would be valuable to other people and the time you put into a blog really can pay off in a lot of ways over time.Plus it can be a lot of fun!.
There are a lot of bloggers who put countless hours into the work they do on their blog, but I’m not one of them.I really am inspired by all of those ambitious bloggers who work from dawn til way past dusk every single day, plugging away, learning, growing, and providing so much value to their readers.I even think I might like to be like them when I grow up.
I’m totally someone who’s inclined to be just like them, only there’s just no way that’s going to work for me and my family right now.I’ve tried to squeeze in a little extra work here and there all day long, either while the rest of my family is out doing something together, or while they seem to be distracted enough for me to sneak off to my laptop, but I always end up feeling like I’m missing out on all the fun or worse, I feel like a terrible mother for getting annoyed when someone asks for a snack or wants me to come hang out with them.
It just doesn’t work for us at this stage of life and I really need to be present for my family as much as I can, which is kind of why I stopped working outside of the home in the first place!
Luckily, after a few years of doing this blogging thing, I’ve kind of managed to hit the nail on the head and provide a great experience and a lot of value for my readers while still pretty much living the “stay at home mom” kind of life that seems to work for our family..I thought he was going to ask me why the sugar bowl was empty or something like that again.
“No”, he said “this is something that you’re interested in.” OK, fine.He had come to a decision, he said, that he couldn’t just leave the wall in the bedroom upstairs how it was, he had to tear out the ugly panelling and put in drywall.
OK, I’ll buy more paint and re-paint that wall.But then he said that if he was going to be doing that, he might as well build some bookcases into the wall there like I’d been insisting we need to add into every room in the house.
