Here's my Secret...


I have a confession.... 

I've been enjoying "real life" a whole lot lately, which means blogging has taken a hit. I've been busy doing...
this...and...
this...and
spending time with them...
and even doing some of this...
and of course drinking that drink I love...
and doing a little to a lot of this.

Basically, there are only so many hours in the day and something's got to give. Right now I am loving the warm, sunny weather and spending time with my friends and family. I've been going out to eat a little more and cooking a little less and I'm really okay with that. So blogging, especially cooking then blogging is taking a back seat right now. I really can't apologize for that since I am choosing to do it, but if I seem absent from your blogs it's because I can't help but enjoy being away from the computer and outside. (I am still reading, just not commenting as often.)

So take this as permission for you to take a break from blogging and blog reading. Go outside, do things you enjoy, take time for yourself. Get rid of the guilt of, maybe I should blog about this, or take a picture of that. I plan on going with this feeling until I feel different, and you should too!

Happy Living!

Nicole, perfect timing! I was just sitting in bed trying to figure out how to get "it" all done.... but I'm going to put it on hold and take the pressure off. Thanks for reminding me what's important :)

Noelle said...

I hear you!I enjoyed some time off from blogging and cramming things in. Rest! :)

Nicole, thank you for this! I am out living too an there are only so many hrs in the day and i dont plan to live at my desk anymore. I have a life, child, and everything else out there! You know that you never need to comment (or read!) my blog and that we are both big girls and understand if the comments dont come daily, or weekly, or ever, that life has changed and we both are in a good place :) Basically my way of saying you dont have any pressure from me to visit my site or comment..go enjoy life and i will do the same!

glad you're having a good time, especially as summer starts and school winds down - and the weather is getting nicer and nicer! i know i've certainly become a lot more distant from blogging compared to the colder months, too. i just can't sit inside on a beautiful day!
so, thanks for the reminder that there's a real world life to be living, too ;) have a great last couple days of school!

Permission granted. The blogging world is fun and can be a great outlet but real life is where it's at!

Meghan@traveleatlove said...

Yay for living! :)I had to unplug this past weekend due to a broken laptop and being away, and I enjoyed it so!

Christine @ Grub, Sweat and Cheers said...

Glad you aren't apologising! I have been the same way - too busy doing fun stuff.

Enjoy!!

Abby said...

Yay! I love "real life" breaks! So important! Blogging is a hobby...not life, for sure! :)

Good for you!

My blog reading has gone away completely (I made a point of reading some today for the first time in over a month, ironic!) but I'm still trying to keep up my blogging for the most part for the sole reason that I have a lot to say lately, I just wish there was more time to get it down on paper!

Enjoy your summer!

Kelly @ Healthy Living With Kelly said...

GOOD FOR YOU!

Glad to see you've been having a great time! Normally I take the weekends off of blogging and just go "live" as you put it..but thanks for the reminder that sometimes it's okay for the google reader to spillith over. :)

I'm so happy for you! I feel the same way, and it's a very hard balance. Blogging should complement and document your life--not be it. :)

Katie @ Health for the Whole Self said...

Love this! We should never feel we have to apologize for stepping away from our computers and enjoy living to the fullest! :)

Melissa @ For the Love of Health said...

I hear ya Nicole! That's so great you're enjoying life- sometimes blogging can be a bit consuming. Good for you for stepping back :-) I still look forward to seeing your posts when you do get a chance.

Julie @SavvyEats said...

Loving this post. I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself to get back into the 'swing of things' with blogging, and need to keep reminding myself that 'real life' takes precedence!

Jen said...

Real life always comes first! Sounds like you're making the most of life...enjoy :)
