It's the "facebook" syndrome where people start feeling inadequate for not so perfect photos, or a lifestyle not accurately portrayed ;) Not that you guys don't have a fantastic house, etc. etc. but I think you know what I'm getting at!

As you know, my blog goes for weeks on end without an update. Sometimes my update is that I'll have an update coming soon haha. It would seem so easy to just come home and snap a quick photo before changing my clothes, but alas it is more time-consuming than that (photo editing, blog design, writing, etc--you know the deal). Point is, I enjoy your blog and all the good homeowner tips you have (and design inspiration), and I look forward to whenever you post! But you also need to get out and enjoy life--like making a trip to Montana! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888824003077951941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-83076599022020848532013-07-01T15:48:54.202-07:002013-07-01T15:48:54.202-07:00Friend, these photos are gorgeous!

So glad to hear I am not alone, makes me feel better about myself that others are having trouble keeping up or just don't feel like putting in all that much energy...phew!!! So, I hear ya and I'll read whenever you post:)<br /><br />Ok, ps. This might be an idiotic question, but I feel comfortable asking you...is google reader the same as having all your blogs on your blogger dashboard? or is it different? not sure if I am supposed to be panicking about tomorrow!!! thanks!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459211820940379244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-25054234299826932762013-07-01T10:34:24.900-07:002013-07-01T10:34:24.900-07:00I can soooo relate to this!

I just don't have anything to talk about and I'm not going to force myself to write a half-assed post. If I'm not interested in it then others probably won't be either. I also agree with you, you don't want to NOT live your life and do regular things just because it wouldn't create a great blog post. We all had lives before we started blogging, there's no reason to stop "living" even if it's not blog worthy.Lauren M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06515064995361204857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-64294114973201758852013-07-01T10:07:17.235-07:002013-07-01T10:07:17.235-07:00It's your blog, you can do whatever you want.....It's your blog, you can do whatever you want...you told me that a few months back!

This is exactly how I have been feeling too, basically blogging when I have something worth talking about and not trying to do things just to blog about them. I too have been rather sporadic and hope that my blog friends don't give up on me! I know I get excited to see a post come through from you no matter how long it has been since the last. If we are not blogging for profit, our blogging should be fun, not a chore. Good luck with it all and ENJOY every minute of your Summer!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10942704410174876211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-33826152905214735972013-07-01T06:28:08.214-07:002013-07-01T06:28:08.214-07:00Good for you!

It's definately a balancing act and it's great that you are in tune with it. Enjoy the moment.Kim @ Plumberry Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10146275611377393369noreply@blogger.com
