a thought about blogging

Good morning from my neck of the woods.
Lately, I've been seeing a lot of really insightful and helpful posts about "the art of blogging."
Oh, and I've read a few pretty hilarious ones too. Like this one.
After almost nine months of doing this whole bloggimg thing, I still sometimes feel like I don't have a clue.
But that's okay because let's be honest, I freaking love it. And all of you ladies. And you too, Colton.

With that being said, I think at this point in time the only insightful thought I have to share on blogging  (from my perspective) is this:

It's okay for life to get in the way of blogging,
but it's not okay for blogging to get in the way of life.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Love it! Happy weekend girl :)

Amanda Wissmann said...

That is SO good and so true!

..I get way too stressed when I miss a few days because I feel behind. It's really not THAT important!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

**going to find you on instagram now :)

Love that quote! It's so true! I have to remember that I started blogging for fun and that's it all should be!

Michaela {au naturel design} said...

So true...sometimes when it's hard to find a balance, I just try to remember that I started blogging to share all the things I was doing. My blog won't be very interesting if I'm not out living my life too. Enjoy the weekend!

Mallory Castleberry said...

I love that and I think sometimes I tend to forget it. I think this weekend I will throw the computer to the side and live a bit more!

Elissa said...

so true. and that picture is beautiful!

Brieann Daw said...

Very correct you are. It can sometimes seem like we forget that the computer isn't our life, it is just a small part. Have a great holiday weekend!

Hilary said...

So true. Great reminder!

Lisa said...

Rachael {all things beautiful} said...

Perfectly said! It's true.. it should always be fun and something you enjoy! Thanks for the reminder and perspective. Happy Friday hon!

Nicole said...

You've got it!

Nicole said...

You've got it!

Dani @ Inspire Motivate Love said...

I think that's the best insight I've heard (read) thus far. And definitely something others should take into consideration! :)
Happy Weekend!

Considerations said...

Ahhh so true dear Brie! Why blog if it's not fun any longer, or becomes a committment right? Enjoy your Labor Day weekend! xo

Tara said...

I hear ya there!

Rxqnaesthetics said...

I completely agree I have blogged for a while now and still learning and sometimes yes life does get in the way.

Claire Kiefer said...

Super wise thought about blogging. Suffice to say life gets in the way of my blogging on the regular. I can't be one of those bloggers who posts every day, religiously, at the same time . . . but I do write every post purposefully, so there's that!

lesley: the dream tree said...

Yes, it is so much fun! Summer is such a busy time that life definitely takes priority sometimes. Enjoy your weekend.

You are totally right!! I love your blog BTW :)

The Pink Growl said...

Amen to that girl! I feel sometimes if I go days without posting, but let's be real - If I don't live my life then I won't have anything fun or funny to write about. Happy weekend!

Natty said...

I couldn't agree more. To be a good writer, you need to write about what you know (your life) and have adventures.

Amber said...

Yes,that is so true!

Imee Tan said...

you said it right!

Joanna said...

exactly :)

Mallorie Owens said...

Oh so true. :) Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Selma @ Crazy Little World Of Mine said...

Could not agree more to it!!! Blogging is awesome, but life needs to happen outside the bloggerworld! :)

Hope you had a fantastic weekend.

xoxo

Alisha said...

Couldn't agree more! I always hate when people apologize for having a life outside of blogging. I mean, really? Apologize for letting your blog get in the way of your life ha!!

happy labor day! xo
