Dallas Bound!
Happy Wednesday! Tonight I'll be packing for a trip to Dallas to attend the RewardStyle Conference! I was invited for the past couple of years to go, but the first year I was too nervous to go (which is silly) and the next I was like eight months pregnant, so I decided to skip it. I promised myself I would go this year (if I was invited) so I was really happy to see that I was when the invitations went out in early February.
(I should've started packing earlier, but I badly needed a mani/pedi tonight)
I’m hoping that more than anything, attending will inspire me to produce the kind of content I used to and that many of you came here for in the first place. I love sharing my life and family, but I miss the style, makeup, home décor and product review posts that used to be the primary focus of my blog.
The truth is, I became overwhelmed. I thought I could “do it all” with working full time, spending time with family and maintaining my blog. The more pressure I put on myself, the less and less I found myself inspired to create content. After Harper went to bed at night, I would sit there with my laptop open, exhausted. I didn’t want to create content just to do it, so often I would go days or a week between posts.
It's really difficult to admit that you haven't "put your all" into something you care about, but I since I don't blog for a living, like many bloggers nowadays do (which is awesome!), I had to devote my time and energy to a lot of other priorities. I know it’s not realistic to maintain my blog to the level it used to be, but I want to feel inspired to share the things I love again (outside of family, of course).
Having said that, I want to thank all of you who have stuck around and followed me through all of these (five!!!) years--- and also to my new readers! Without y'all, these opportunities would not be possible, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued support.
I’d like to keep my blog a mix of content so there’s something for everyone, but I also want to get back to what inspired me to blog in the first place--- and that’s creating outfits for the workplace, sharing favorite products and beauty tricks and decorating our home. I hope to learn a lot and bring you better, fresher and more frequent content.
Thanks for reading!
