Back to blogging!

After a 7 month break from writing in my blog I've decided to get back at it.  Most of you probably already know this because of my recent post on Facebook...  Yep, I've taken the plunge and have decided to "get back to the basics" if you will.  You probably already know that I like a simple life, one with less distractions and more quality attention.  You may think I've gone off the deep end by signing off from Facebook all together, but let's not forget this is probably the only girl you know who doesn't have a cell phone!  Not to say that one day down the road I'll get myself a cell phone (maybe even a smart phone) or that I'll decide to start a new account on Facebook even, but for now I need to take a break from that world. 

If you're wondering why, there are actually many reasons, but the big kahuna is this: instead of adding to my life it's taking away from it.  It's my fault too.  I just don't seem to have the discipline to not waste so much time on it!  I wish I was one of those people who only went on Facebook once a day or even a week, but for me Facebook is such a pull in my life and I feel like it's robbing me of our most precious commodity - time.  I tend to be an "all or nothing" type of person about certain things in life, so perhaps that's part of the problem for me!  There are a million positive things that I love about Facebook, which is why I could definitely see that down the road when I'm in a different season of my life, I will get back to Facebooking.  For now however, I'm looking forward to withdrawing from the social network bug and going back to how life was 5 years ago!  :)  LOL!

For me the best part about Facebook was staying connected to my precious family and friends and posting pictures of my kiddos for you all to enjoy.  Which is exactly why I'm starting to blog again!  I can spend a lot less time keeping you posted on my life, plus post pictures and videos of the kids with this blog than I would if I stayed on Facebook.  I plan to post something here only once or twice a week, so I hope you keep it on your radar and check in every so often.
