Hello, friends!
I’m writing to let you in on a decision I made this week.
I have been very tired lately. And busy, and overwhelmed. I’m pretty sure my family misses me. I miss me. And I know God misses me.
In a moment of lovely clarity this past Tuesday I mentally divided my to-dos into needs and wants and blogging just didn’t make the cut. I’m going to take a break – probably just for the month of February. Just to regroup, refocus, and be still.
It’s a little sad – I love blogging. It’s a really fun outlet for me. But it is very time-consuming – mind consuming! And, I’ll miss y’all!
Anyway, I don’t need to hang around long. I just wanted to let you know so you didn’t think I was kidnapped or in a coma or something. I still plan to post about our playroom shake-up, yarn & hot glue, and curly hair. AND, Craftcation is very much still on! (There are still a couple of spots left if you want in!) I hope y’all have a lovely February and I do hope you all come back to see me in March!
There are going to be flowers budding next time we talk. And t-shirt weather! And, I’ll have an almost-2-year-old! (Can you believe it??)
God is good, friends! He calls us to Himself. He is a giver of good gifts. Peace out!
God Bless you Raechel! Have a wonderful February!
Thanks, friend! You, too!
Sad to hear, but glad you’re getting your personal priorities in order. Hopefully you’ll still be tweeting along! I follow you there! (@_TheLouLou) Also, my oldest son is going to be 2 on March 3rd, our babies are close! I have a 9 month old boy too though. Enjoy your break!
Thanks, girl! Yeah, I think you’ll still see me on Twitter and Instagram. It’s already killing me to have photos and things to blog and to have to just enjoy them myself. But, I think it will be really nice to be still this month. Kind of exciting! :)
Enjoy your break. I agree, blogging is time consuming. Great, but a time and other “stuff” sucker! :)
I’ll miss you!
Sad for me, because I’ll miss you! But so very happy for you. I hope your February is a peaceful, restful month for you. Much happiness, friend! :)
Thanks, Ash. Yours, too! Blessings!
Good for you, anytime you put your priorities in order, it really is a simple decision… Not easy to do but simple to make. I’m more of a Reader than a commenter, but want you to know you will be missed! Enjoy your February.
I’ll miss your blogs, but totally understand the need for a break, it seems my blog is on a break right now too, who knows for how long.
I’m proud of you! I know its a hard thing to step away from something you enjoy. but obedience to being still will bring such peace! much love to you, friend!
I will miss reading your blog, but I am glad you’ll still be tweeting! Hope you have a restful month.

Sadness… but I so understand. You are brave to step away! My sadness is replaced by happiness, though, when I think about being able to see you again in a few months! YAY!
Yay for breaks! Yes, we’ll miss you, of course. But we want you to blog sane, you know? So regain that sanity. Have lots of mochas. Love.
I so understand. I just made the same decision! It’s hard but I totally agree, sometimes you just need to walk away and take a breath. Hope you have a wonderful February!
Amen, sister. Enjoy and we’ll catch ya on the flip side.
Good for you. I really enjoy your blog. But I have often wondered how in the world you have time to do it all!? I wondered if you (and some other amazing mommy bloggers) have some super powers that I’ve missed out on! It does make me feel a little better to know that I’m not the only one who has trouble finding time for everything. And as much as I’ll miss your posts, I’m glad that you are putting your family first and I pray that you have a lovely, relaxing February! :)
While I completely understand, I will miss your posts b/c yours is one of first blogs I go to every morning! Have a wonderful February my friend. I’m going to talk to hubby about the Craftcation this weekend and see if I can pull it off!
I’ll miss reading your blog-but March will be here before we know it! Have a Great Feb!
He DOES give good gifts! I pray for a restful, rejuvenating February.
I’ll miss you sweet presense in the blogging world but you’ll have a great blogging break!
Have a nice break!
Enjoy your break, loving on those who need you the most!
I’ll miss you loads, but wish you a relaxing break.

Ha! I just found your blog from another and here I find you are on a break.
I hope you are enjoying your time and reconnecting with God and your family. I look forward to reading your future posts.
Hi friend! What a wonderful break it will be for you. It’s quite amazing what a little simplifying can do both physically and spiritually. :-) Hope you and your family are well!
