All Work and No Play...

Okie dokie, it's been a while so I know I have some catching up to do. Honestly, it's pretty hard to blog when I'm trying to balance working full time (and sometimes feeling like I'm never off the clock), being a mommy and keeping my house in some semblance of order... My husband helps, but it still can be so difficult to sit down and write for a bit! I'm tempted to start bringing my laptop in the bathroom with me... ;)

I have tomorrow off for MLK Jr. day so hopefully I'll be able to grab a few minutes and catch up on some posts then. This weekend I've had a lot going on, on top of the normal stuff - by choice, a Harry Potter marathon with my girlfriends yesterday (more on this later), and my son being a bit under the weather after his 6 month checkup + shots and a runny nose. I feel so bad for my little pumpkin when he doesn't feel well!

Mostly right now, I just wish I had some time to blog a bit here, crochet something there, pound out a few pieces of jewelry one night, etc... My hands aren't restless but sending emails, washing dishes and folding tiny laundry aren't the most creative or stimulating activities. I am always trying to keep the work-life balance, and lately I feel like I can't keep a life balance outside of work - all work and no play makes Emmy a dull girl.

I think part of why I don't blog much is because  feel like my posts have to be long with lots of photos and stuff to be interesting.... I'm trying to get away from that mentality and write I need and want to, regardless of the subject matter (within reason of course) and how much I want to say. I know I don't have many followers, so I don't think many people would mind some short posts, and besides, my blog is supposed to be for me, right?

So, I'm going to try and blog a bit more frequently and with less judgement on my writing. It's one of my favorite creative outlets, so I owe it to myself to keep it up. :)

Happy Sunday!
