I haven’t written in some time now, if I’m correct, since after my daughter’s first birthday. Though don’t quote me on that since I didn’t exactly go back to check. Sorry! But I’ve missed the writing.
When I started this blog, it was basically for me to have an outlet; to share my experiences as an everyday mom, what I went through (and still going through) emotionally, physically and well, everything in-between. To be honest, I never thought it would be anything and I really never thought anyone would actually be reading it, let alone on a regular basis.
But than, I started getting follows and comments and I felt….amazing that I was actually being read by someone in the world. Slowly but surely it began to grow, but than what was joyful in the beginning began to feel like….a bit of a job. Posting everyday, trying to come up with interesting and not boring tidbits from my life as a stay at home mom and wife, well it was becoming tedious.
There were days when I felt like I didn’t want to blog at all because we had a boring day at home just playing in the house or going for a walk around our block. Or emotionally I wasn’t having the best day, postpartum depression is great, isn’t it?! So, as the year went along, slowly but surely I pulled away.
But tonight, as I was laying on the couch watching a teen television show from the early 2000’s (*cough* One Tree Hill), I realized I really miss writing, I missed my outlet. Now, I won’t lie, I have started a personal written journal where I state all my deepest and darkest thoughts I don’t want anyone online to read. Y’all don’t need to see that! But I do miss documenting my daughter’s milestones, achievements, what she’s learned and so on. That really meant a lot sharing those moments.
So, I’m not promising I’ll write every day, but I will promise to write at least once every week. I’m going to aim for Wednesdays, but there will definitely be potential for more posts. And, I’ll be writing for me and I won’t give in to the pressure I put on myself to write for everyone else.
So, I hope you stick around, enjoy the future content of my blog and I would love to hear from you guys in the comments.
Have a wonderful night or day wherever you are in the world!
Ciao!!

Always write for yourself first – this is a blog not an occupation. I love that you write from the heart, that you share your experience, and that you are genuine in your posts. Who could ask for anything more? That you have a following speaks for itself. But, please, do it for you … and thanks for letting the rest of us be witness to it. For me, your posts remind me of being a first-time parent … and all these years later of appreciating the experiences my daughter is having as a first-time parent. It’s all good, and I thank you for being a blogger!

Thank you Rose, your kind words really meant a lot when I read this. It’s nice to know other mom’s are reading this and remembering their experiences as a parent or hopefully new parents are reading this and I can relate. It’s all I ever really wanted from this blog and just a space to share what I go through each day. I’ve definitely learned my lesson though, write for me and not as an occupation! Thank you again for your kindness and for following me, it truly means a lot ❤
