While on vacation, I was almost completely unplugged. I didn't post to Facebook once we arrived to our destination, posted a few pics to Instagram the following two days and never got on Twitter or my Blog.
Once we got home I didn't feel like plugging back in. I still really don't.
I love this little space of my own, I love that I get to share my precious family with our friends and family that don't see us every day and I love to share what God is doing in my heart.
I don't have a product to sell, or a side business. I don't have a gazillion followers that I have to make sure and post at least 2x a week for. Guess what? I'm really glad about that. That's pressure I just don't need.
If I feel led to write, I will. If I want to post some pictures I will. Even if I go three weeks without doing it.
All that to say, I removed my most of advertisements along with the buttons for other blogs. I also won't be hosting a weekly link-up and I am no longer a Sweat Pink advocate.
This is just gonna be my little space for whenever I need a little space.
I whittled the blogs I read down to just a handful so that when I jump on here I don't feel overwhelmed or obligated to visit them all and comment.
I'm a Mom of 3 little boys, a wife, a homemaker, a small group leader, a best friend, a member of a small group, a Pastor's Wife, a daughter, a sister, a volunteer at a local teen Mom home, a reader of many books, a dreamer of the things that I feel are coming soon, a birth photographer in training and a part time blogger.
I appreciate those of you who read this little space and encourage me even if I've never met you.
That being said....here are some pictures of our time away! We met up with my parents for one of the mornings, but the rest of the time it was just us!
We drove, stopped half way for a night and then finished our driving the next day. With three kids under 4, all that driving etc....it really was a nearly perfect trip. Truly amazing.

ReplyDeleteWay to be brave with the blog. I feel the same way...although I don't have sponsors or buttons. It's for fun, it's not my job and I won't put it before my family, my friends, my job, etc...
lots less stress!
I know exactly how you feel!! I used to blog a lot....like every other day and over the past year it has slowed to nearly non-existent posts!! You know! It's nice when you release yourself from the notion that you have to post, isn't it? And I adore all those Disney pictures...love them! Cars Land looks awesome!
ReplyDeletei love the pictures ... especially the one of trevor and jack sitting on the bench (taken from behind). that's a FRAMER. :)
