Change Gives Us Branches

February 6, 2011 By Emily 8 Comments

Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights.  ~Pauline R. Kezer

"Family and Life in Las Vegas" "Blogging" "Writing" "Family Life"

I have been blogging now for 20 months.  And I am amazed at how much I have learned in that 20 months, as well as how much I have grown in the past 20 months.

I love and appreciate all the comments and support from my readers.  (Probably more than you know.)

When I started blogging, it was all about my son – my amazing son Squish.  "Family Life" "Vegas" "Family and Life in Las Vegas" "Cute Baby"

Then we my hubs deployed, I really dove into it.  I rediscovered my love for writing.  And it 100% kept me from going insane.

As I have grown my blog, already in a short period of time I have been exposed to so many amazing opportunities.  Things I never thought I would do, products that I may have never found, and blogging friends that have turned into real life friends.

However, I have also found myself taking on things that I probably wouldn’t have because I didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity it offers.  I have found myself spending hours upon hours working on my blog, and I was recently told by my hubs that I really need to look at how and why I am blogging.

I blog because: I LOVE to write.

Over the next few months I am going to be working on writing about what I love.  Getting back to the place where writing was something I looked forward to, rather then had to do.

I am going to be bowing out of the Green Mama Blog Hop.  While I love the concept of it and appreciate being asked to help host it, I already co-host two memes and felt like I wasn’t able to give my best to it, or to the people who were linking up.  I will still link up, and support the Green Mama Blog Hop in anyway I can.

"Green Living" "Eco-friendly" "Green" "Family and Life in Las Vegas"

I plan on writing more about my Squishy, and raising a toddler.

I would like to get more involved in using my blog and other social media for charitable causes that are near and dear to me.

I will continue to offer reviews and giveaways, because I really do love sharing products/companies/and momprenuers that I find to be awesome and great.

I am going to be participating in the SitsGirls 31 Days to Building a Better Blog – round 2.

I will be attending SheCon11, Blogher11, and really really hope to be able to attend EVO11 as well.  I attended the Bloggy Boot Camp in St. George last year had a blast, learned a ton, and caught the bug.  I am eager to learn, share, and continue to grow.

I have a series of posts coming up on something that in the past 20 months has also become a passion for me. (TEASE)

Many changes abound, stay tuned!! 🙂

I do have one question for you – my awesome readers:

What features do you like reading about most on my blog?

Please feel free to share – likes, dislikes, things you would like to read about… I am open!!

    Seriously, great minds think alike. I was thinking this week that I miss doing all of my photography posts, and really need to get back into that. Because after all, that is why I started my blog!

    You are such an amazing writer, and always look forward to reading the posts about you and your family.

    I love reading about your family and growing little boy! but seriously, I enjoy reading whatever you post! I am SO happy that your blogging has opened so many doors and opportunities for YOU! Yay, but I’m sure it can be a lot of work. I’m trying to pump up my blog and get some reviews/giveaways/sponsors right now, but I’m like you…I started blogging because I have a passion for writing! Good luck w/ whatever you decide, but I’m sure happy you’re such a great bloggy friend!
