i've decided and i'm taking a blog break

I read a blog post the other day, from Modern Whit where Whitney posted about taking a blog break, enjoying the rest of her summer with her family.  This did make me think, the more I thought about it, the more I knew, I have to take a break myself.  So I am taking the rest of August off blogging.

WHY?  I love blogging, it' really is a huge, part of my life.  Love sharing my crafts and thoughts with you all.  I have received some amazing offers recently.  Blogging can take up a big part of your life when you are blogging as much as I do.  I am blogging when I should be doing Luke's bookwork and in turn have fallen to far behind, to the point of get it done or get a fine.  While that is completely my fault and it's not a job requirement that I blog as often as I do, but let's just weigh up which is more fun and why it always wins, shall we, haha.  Along with a few personal life matters that I will no doubt share when I am back to blogging again.

I'm also starting to feel a bit like I am rushing with my blog lately.  Rushing to blog this and blog about that.  Trying to keep up with everyone else and starting to almost compare in a way without really realising I am doing it.  I'm not taking more care in the finer details, the quality of the photographs and the content.  I need to get back to that.

WHAT'S NEXT?

What can you expect from me in August?  Instead of posting myself, I have some really amazing guests lined up for August, I truly can't wait for you to all read their guest posts.  I'll be sharing a bunch of inspirational, creative women that I know you will all love as much as I do.  With a Q&A and photographs.

All my other regular blog posts will start again in September, where I'm going to come back fresh, up to date and ready to get back into it, [fingers crossed].  You can still find me on instagram @giveagirlablog and I'll still update my Facebook page when I feel the need, here.

Thank you for all for stopping by and taking the time on my blog today, see you in September.

This is good Kellie. It's so important to listen to yourself and what is good for you.
I'm looking forward to "read" you again in September.

[Aimee]

I'd totally do it, if I actually blogged enough for anyone to notice me taking a break :p See you for my birthday. Sept 1 if you've forgotten. May August fill your tank.

[Simone]

Enjoy and looking forward to seeing you again in September

[Whitney]

I'm applauding over here!!! Already I've made more and felt more creative. It will be worth it!

[Erika Lee Sears]

Yay! It's always good to take a break especially in the summer time. I will be back in September to see what you're up to :)

[Ali Moloney]

It will be sad not to get your posts, but I can totally understand where you are coming from. Your blog is so important to you and so many others, that I know if it is not perfect or how you would prefer it to be it would be difficult to 'just do it anyway'. Hope you catch up on everything and find a balance
Enjoy the time out!

Good on you! It's lovely to have a break and come back feeling refreshed. We all need to take time out every now and then.

[Marta]

I totally understand this. I think breaks can be the best thing.
In fact I am planning on doing the same. I still do not know if 1 or 2 weeks... Let's see!
See you back in september! ^^

[Renae]

Enjoy your break! Look forward to reading more from you in September. :)

I've been on a blog break since April ;) ... and have enjoyed the chance to get other things done. It's been so nice to work to my schedule, not what I felt was expected of me as I do with my blog. Enjoy the breather, I always love looking at your 'stuff' and I know there will be more to enjoy soon xx

[Bec R]

I think it's a great idea to take a break, and the good thing is you have some fabulous content to fill-in in the meantime. Enjoy your break and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come back with in Sept :-)
