I have been thinking a lot lately about priorities, friends.
Awhile back I started this blog as a way to keep track of freebies and special offers I was interested in. And then people started commenting. I had an audience. And that is sort of a big deal when you are a stay at home mommy. You give up your career, you give up some of your old friends (you know the ones..the ones who are still single and kid-free and dancin' to a different beat), and you get lonely. Of course you adore your baby and love being with him as he does amazing things as he grows, but it can get lonely.
And I digress...
You get excited about all the attention and when someone "recognizes" you from the web in real life you swoon. You feel special because big companies are contacting you and want to be a part of your bloggy experience. You start pouring more and more time into blogging. Before you know it, you are fairly well known in the blogosphere. But at what costs?
I think Stephanie from Keeper of the Home said it best this week. Go over and check it out. I'll wait for you to get back...
So while I am not planning on leaving the blog world just yet, I don't think I will be writing online as much I used to. As much as I like doing this I love my family (which we are hoping to grow, no we are not pregnant but are awaiting our adoption to go through), my church family, and serving God with my gifts through teaching.
Keep an eye out for me on Twitter, as it is a quick and easy way to share freebies and deals!
