Summer Break

June is my birthday month and I’ve decided to give myself a break from blogging for the month of June and possibly even longer. I’ve enjoyed sharing stories, my favorite finds, decorating and entertaining ideas and recipes for the past three years, but I’ve been needing a break for quite some time. I’ve hesitated to take too long of a break in the past because I was afraid I’d lose the readership I’ve worked so hard to build and miss out on opportunities with brands I would like to work with.

There are a lot of behind the scenes things you have to do as a blogger if you want your blog to grow which are very time-consuming.  Some of these things have taken the joy out of blogging for me.  I’ve never been much of a numbers person.  I have a love for words. I also enjoy interaction with people and that is why your comments mean so much to me. Much of my time is spent behind a computer which is something I swore I’d never do.

I no longer want fear to dictate my decisions so I’m giving myself this much needed break.  If you’re new to my blog and interested in reading past posts  you can scroll through my archives located on the right side bar of my blog.  I’m excited to recharge and be re-inspired, work on some projects, read my ever growing library of books, and try some new recipes from my Summer Pinterest board.  I will still share pictures of what I’m up to on Instagram, Twitter and occasionally Facebook if you’d like to follow me.  I honestly don’t care for Facebook, but I know there are a lot of people who enjoy it and spend most of their free time on Facebook.

I appreciate you reading my joyful scribblings. I hope you have a wonderful summer full of sunshine, laughter and relaxation! The above artwork is by Mae Chevrette and can be found here.
