I have several New Year's Resolutions (NYR) and I am going to share them with you as I have time. They are not in order of importance.
The first NYR is my blog.
I am going to blog as I want and when I have time. This past year I was not sure which direction I wanted to take my blog and it caused me to stress out (yes, I am always stressed and I am trying to work on that).
Some people have a public blog and even make money off of it. My blog has had advertisements on it for almost 2 year (in April) and in that time I have made $25 total! Not anything to get excited about. Now to be fair that is a free $25, but the funny thing is that I have not received the $25 because you have to reach $100 before they will send you any money. So I may never reach $100 and therefore I haven't made anything off of it!
Because I had a public blog and advertisements I was trying to be a 'smart blogger.' That meant only one post per day, not too wordy (not very good at that), and other things. Well when you have a lot going on that is hard to do. Especially after the holidays when you need to blog about 5 different Christmas parties, NYE, sick kids, and every thing else going on in your life.
So I am not worried about being a smart blogger anymore. This blog is about documenting my life and our memories. This is where I keep up with what my boys are up to and all of their milestones since I don't keep baby books.
Get ready for more than one past a day or only one post all week.
Get ready for randoms posts that just document a conversation I had with Cooper.
Get ready for lots of pictures.
Get ready for posts where I rant about being stressed once a week! I will try not to.
Get ready for posts about whatever is on my mind.
Basically I am going to enjoy my blog and post as I want. I am going to take the stress off of this blog or at least try to. At some point I will post about Christmas and I promise that one day I will post about Cooper's second birthday. It may not be until a week before is 3rd birthday as the guilt overwhelms me but whatever.
So here is resolution #1! I might be sharing my resolutions into February! You never know!

I've been feeling the same way about my blog, too. Even though I've been off from work, it's still difficult to blog as much as I used to. Blog what you want, when you want 😊
Can't wait for what sounds like more candid sharing! Great resolution!!
