If you read last years’ 11 years blogging post you might have read about the insane content schedule and pressure I had self inflicted. I was pushing to have something published every single day and it had gone from something fun I enjoyed doing to something I dreaded, like trying to feed a never ending content beast and I took a much needed step back.
I was trying to work full time, and I have 4 small kids, I was tired and burnt out to a crisp. I didn’t see it that way though and only recognized the sheer burn out months later. And it took months to draw a balance between working (I now work part time outside of the home and then the rest of the time spend with the kids!!) I’m so happy and grateful I was able to make those changes and that the blog has been able to ebb and flow with me through these changes. Some may not have even noticed a change at all because I had some help behind the scenes in the form of the sweetphi team , now only 1
