Hi everyone :)
Thanks so much for all the kind, supportive, caring and understanding comments yesterday. I guess I'm not the only one who's having a hard time balancing everything. Time for offline life, and time for online life.
I've taken time to think a bit more about this, and came to the simple conclusion that I will never stop blogging. Ever. You can't get rid of me that quickly & easily, girls ! LOL So I have decided very simple things :
- I will not blog anymore on Wednesdays, Saturdays & Sundays
- I will spend less time each day sitting at the computer
- I'm going to have a blog schedule (as long as I can respect this) so things will be a bit more organized over here too
The schedule I have planned is this one :
Monday - I'll talk a bit about our weekend (if you really want to know more, and with photos, I invite to follow me on Flickr, because double posting - on Flickr AND on the blog - does take me double time, so I'll simply report what we'll have been doing)
Tuesday - I'll post photos of my shop updates if there are any (BUT I will not make a shop update once a week only, I'll add items as I make them, but will let you know / will show you here once a week only) That day I'll also blog about my/our other crafty happenings, and probably friends' or other people's, as well.
Wednesday - no blog
Thurday - I'll call this day "Homemaking Thursday" as I'll try to blog about cooking, baking, laundry, eco-tips, everything related to homemaking.
Friday - I'll call this day "From the Past Friday" as I'll try to blog about things (movies, cartoons, books, memories anything) related to my childhood/teen age, Chris', our parents' or grand-parents'. With the help of videos from You Tube, of course.
Saturday - no blog
Sunday - no blog
OK, so I'll see if I'll make it through this new schedule. Posting 4 days a week is kind of balancing. It's almost half the frequency I used to blog ! I'll start this weekend (by not blogging !) so today I can show you what I've been making yesterday.
I spent less time at the computer & this is what I managed to do yesterday, with the presence of both the boys, as they are off school on Wednesdays :
tidying up/washing dishes/hoovering/shopping at the health store/lunch/washing dishes/webcam with my parents & grandpa/ironing/sewing two tissue cozies/P's homeworks/baking muffins (half batch white chocolate, half batch dark chocolate)/washing dishes/shower/dinner ... but of course in between you can add : playing with the boys/learning them new things/picking their mess 100 times ...
I was pretty happy with all I managed to fit in the day ! :)
They're in the Shop !
Must go now, I have to go shopping for food.
I wish you all a wonderful Thursday, and thanks for reading. You're the best ! xoxox

I spend too much time online too! I need to make some changes too. Thanks for the inspiration Sonia!
ReplyDeletelovely chocs Sonia. Sent you a Flickr mail as mine never seem to get through.

Great idea. It's like weekly menu planning for blogging.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great plan, Sonia!
ReplyDeleteI came to realise too that I was spending far to much time onlinr too and things were getting on top of me.. I made a decision not to be online as much.. I dont blog every day and I dont visit as much as I should, but i found I get so much more done and spare time is then to come online and read blogs maybe write my own.. I think you have made a good choice and you will feel less stressed out. It's not law to blog everyday and it should be something that you enjoy and not feel obligated to do...
ReplyDeleteHappy spring day Sonia..
