Hello Loves! Welcome back to another Grateful Sunday post. You probably noticed that I didn’t blog at all last week. Don’t worry; I’m not quitting blogging. With Summer in full swing, I’ve decided to take a mini blogging break.
Why I’m Taking a Mini Blogging Break
Party at my house!!
One of the reasons that I’m taking a break is that I’m hosting a BBQ at my house next weekend. Which means LOT of cleaning and prepping. I will be sure to share pictures after the party!
My daughter has been possessed by the Netflix demons (also known as PAW Patrol).
Ok, not really but close enough. With all the rain we’ve been having, my outdoorsy cutie has been couped up inside the house. Sure, I could be that mom that comes up with fun crafts and stuff toddlers can do but- Netflix! She’s now obsessed with PAW Patrol. With the sun finally out (for now), I think it’s the perfect time to take a screen break and enjoy some time outside.
I’m tired!
Since becoming a stay at home mom and a full-time blogger last year, I haven’t taken a break. I can hear all my 9-5 buddies thinking; “a break from what!?” *insert eye roll here*. The truth is, I work more than 40hours a day on the blog. I’m usually up until 4 am because that’s the only time I CAN function without being touched, pulled, tugged at by my toddler or being asked 101 questions by my son. Don’t get me wrong, I love them both to pieces, but mommy can’t even use the bathroom in peace?! So yes, I need a break. I think a week will be more than enough to get me back to myself again.
Writer’s block.
Because I’m not getting much sleep, I’ve had major writer’s block. I know that by taking a mini break, I will be able to let my creative juice flow freely. I just need to keep a writing pad near to jot down ideas.
Where To Find Me
I will be back again July 24th (sooner, if I have something too exciting not to share). In the meantime, follow me on Instagram and Facebook for fun family updates and shenanigans. I will also be on Twitter stalking celebrities and some of my favorite brands! 😉
After my mini blogging break, I would LOVE to share a part 2 of my garden update! So make sure you are subscribed to my blog.
Let’s connect!
Enjoy the break. It is so necessary when working to take time off, and it is true even of writing and blogging. Have fun with your baby.

Enjoy your break. I haven’t been blogging long, but I am self-employed. I can relate to this 100%.
I have always maintained that I blog for fun. When I got tired of doing reviews, for example, I stopped for a while. Blogging breaks can be good.

Oh! Your daughter so lovely. Kiss for her ?. Well, everyone needs a little break to off themselves in working. Sometimes family bonding comes first.
There is definitely nothing wrong with taking a short blogging break. I did the same thing last week. And oh my gosh! If my kids knew PAW Patrol was on Netflix, it would be the only thing on TV all day, every day.
Very nice! Glad you were able to take a break.
I totally feel you about not taking a break and needing one. Being a stay at home mom and a fulltime blogger is like working 2 fulltime jobs, LOL! Enjoy your mini-break!

Blogging can be tiring because there are so many things that should be done outside our “online” activities. Writer’s block is one of most common reasons why we take a respite from bloggin.
I think this is so great that you will be taking a break and enjoying your life! ENJOY IT! We’ll be here when you come back 🙂
Everyone needs a break from anything they do. Take care of yourself and that precious baby. See you when you return.
I can so relate! As a full-time teacher, I look forward to the summer when I can blog more. However, there are times when I burn myself out and need to just sit back and take in what is around me. Sometimes I get caught up in blogging that I miss things I should not. I look forward to hearing from you when you return from your mini break.
It is so important for us all to take breaks for ourselves to recoup. Always remember to take time for yourself each day if it is only for a moment and just do you. Have fun on your brake and thanks for all you do. You should be proud for all the work you have done this past year.
It’s always good to take a break once in a while. Normally people are way more productive after a break.
I know I also need a break from blogging. My eyes are too tired because of prolonged time in front of the computer.
