Resolution

Let me start with an apology.

I'm sorry.  I haven't posted on the blog since June, and that lapse was definitely not due to a lack of things to say, but rather a lack of motivation.  For the last 18 months, it seemed that fewer people were reading, and while the purpose of this blog was never to garner attention, I have to admit that the amount of effort put in felt seriously out of balance with the return on my investment.  What point was there in writing, editing, planning, photographing, and documenting the goings on in our household if not for the vanity of likes and comments?

For the joy of sharing my family, I mean.  Yeah-- um.  That's it.

So instead of posting, I spent that free time doing laundry when the sun was actually up, tickling and tackling my now very active toddler, and achieving a level of mastery on the Piano Tiles 2 app that I thought previously impossible.  Achievement, people.

But here's the thing.  I like writing.  I like the blog.  And as much as I've enjoyed the break, I don't want the last four and a half years worth of memories to disappear by way of Grumpy Cat and the double rainbow guy.



So this is my official New Year's resolution: I want to post regularly again, hopefully around twice a week.  Perhaps striving not to post every day will make this feel more like fun and less like cramming for a final in college that I should ace because the material is about me and organized by me, yet I bomb because I was up until 2 am.

Twelve years ago I could have blamed some Boone's Farm and a sorority party.  These days I point to six loads of towels and "White Collar" on Netflix.

For your part, keep me honest.  If you don't see me for a week, acceptable methods of reaching me include sending strongly worded messages via the comment section, my Facebook page, FB messaging, my personal email or cell number (if you have the number) and barbershop quartet. 

Stay tuned.
