A Joyful Keeper

That is the question…

I started blogging three years ago, and saw it as a fun, helpful thing in my homemaking/homeschooling journey. But after a couple of years it started to become a millstone around my neck. I didn’t enjoy it anymore. I felt pressured if I missed a day. I felt guilty if I thought about quitting. I had post whirling about in my head, but didn’t have time to type them up! It had lost the purpose that it initially had. I tried to take a few “breaks”, but that meant I “had” to come back… so, I stopped completely and deleted everything I am that type of person, it is all or nothing!

So, am I back? No. I am not. My initial plan was to have a website with resources to share with others. I wanted to have a place where I could keep all my favorite links (so that I wasn’t continually wondering where I had seen that article, or recipe, or…!). I wanted a place to help keep me on track.

I am now going back to this plan. I hope to share things here, but not in a daily blogging format. I will repost some of my past posts, as pages that will stay here. And I will see where it goes from there…. no pressure, no guilt, just a helpful site for all, I hope
