The weather outside wasn’t frightful, for once
“You don’t write many personal posts anymore.” When you hear it from family, you know it must be true.
I strive to keep the business and the fun side of blogging in balance. It’s incredibly tempting to accept as many opportunities as you can when you know the money will be good. All of you out there who are well aware of how much work that blogging is can attest. I also struggle with the whole “niche” idea. Do I need to fit a well-defined niche? Are my posts too random? I never know.
So when I heard those words from not only the mouth of my brother but also my husband, it was high time I readjust. Without further ado, a personal post.
Last week was the first week that it was pretty nice here in Minnesota. With the terribly gruesome winter that we had, I never thought I would see solid ground again. I was sure that I would forever be backing out of our driveway with my fingers and toes crossed because it was impossible to see over the 8 foot snow banks lining either side (no, I’m not being dramatic, and they got even bigger as the winter went on).
You would think that my poor kid had never seen sunlight and partially dead grass with the way she was ooh-ing and aah-ing over “nature”. After being able to get out and play, and mix up the daily routine, it sends chills down my spine remembering being stuck indoors for practically the last 4 months.
Bean decided that “Puppy” needed to go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather with us.
He was also the first one to test out going down the slide head-first on his back. Bean followed suit.
And because I love making videos, a short little clip of Bean enjoying the weather.
Looks like an awesome weekend. Isn't it amazing to fiiiiiiinally be able to take the little ones outside??
I like the personal posts so much better! Too many blogs are becoming all about money/sponsors or writing things they think others want to hear about. Seems many bloggers are even afraid to write their true opinions for fear of losing followers which has really taken away from blogging. I find myself reading less and less of many blogs I used to love because they have lost the personal feel that attracted me to the blog in the first place. Keep up the personal posts they are refreshing! (and just for the record I'm ashley but the disque account is my husband's peters as it wasn't letting me sign in with my google account)
Adorable. I love the personal posts.
