blogging hasn't been the easiest thing for me lately.
i am so uninspired that it's not even funny!
we really don't have much going on, which really is just normal life around here.
i am so busy with these three kids, it's crazy...fun, but a little bananas at times.
we play at parks, we ride scooters, we work on the house, do yard work, etc.
there just isn't anything exciting happening with us! and that is quite alright.
i am feeling like disconnecting a little and getting back to basics.
life used to be so simple and it just doesn't seem simple anymore.
i find myself missing the effort that has to be put into making and keeping relationships/friendships.
all you have to do is comment on people's blog/facebook/instagram and that makes you feel like you have covered your bases.
believe me, i feel like i DO this. i DO, do this!
i find myself putting less effort into friends/family, etc.
social media makes it too easy! and to me, that seems so wrong.
i miss the days when you had to call someone's house and ask for them and then proceed to have a conversation.
i have such a love/hate relationship with technology right now.
like, i LOVE my iphone but i feel too connected all the time.
life feels TOO easy.
i have toyed with the idea of saying sayonara to having a smart phone.
sooo.....
i may or may not blog anymore. not for any particular reason (just mostly the uninspired reason, honestly)
i may "blog" but just keep it to myself, as a journal of sorts.
or i may get all caught up and then post a million posts at once. i have no idea!
i need to feel inspired again!
but if it never comes, that's okay too.
side note after doing some thinking: i suppose my blog should just be for journaling purposes and updates but i sometimes want a personal feel to it, maybe to get my thoughts out there? I don't know...I kind of hate facebook and that seems to be the place to put your thoughts "out there".

I totally get it. I actually just took a "break" from social media stuff and I think it really helped me re-focus. Blogging has been much better since I decided to just do it for my families little memory book. I realize this is all hypocritical since I'm commenting on your blog! I am just really trying to make sure I restrict on IG and FB, because they really don't add a positive vibe in my life right now. Ah, it's a constant struggle. Good luck!
I completely agree with everything you have just said. A lot of the time I make myself call people instead of just texting them, because I hate it when people text me all the time and never call.
For my sake I do hope you continue to blog. I love reading about your family. I'm not always good with the comments, but I always read everything you post.
I think it's good to get back to the basics! It seems like you fit a lot into your days. We almost never make it to the park or library anymore, because the baby is a nap-a-holic. I think for me, it can be cyclical - I feel overwhelmed, disconnected, too busy, then I hunker down and simplify.
