It happened...

I had a blogging mental breakdown.

Ok, so maybe it wasn't that serious, but I did realize that I was beginning to get lost in it all.

I know you all know what I'm saying, and if you don't know...it won't be long.

I feel like "it" is getting in the way of this:

Yep, that's right folks...LIFE.

Yes, I have still been social (I have blates to prove it), but I feel like I've stopped smelling the roses.

I can't take it, y'all.

I must find a balance.

This is why I took a Social Media break this weekend.

It felt good...It felt REAL good.

Do you want to see what happens on a weekend of "smelling the roses"?

I spent some quality time with the nugget...

I went exploring...

I snuggled with this nugget....

I had a Blate with Sami!!

And I had time to DIY.  

Check out my new Lifeproof iPhone case:

Super snazzy...I know.

Not as snazzy as my OOTD on Saturday, though...

Pants: Hubby's "work on the car" pants

Shoes: Wellies from the little boys section.

The perfect attire to vacuum the crawl space, clean out the garage and do some yard-work.

Exciting, right?

This weekend really WAS exciting to me...Every last bit of it.

Because other than skyping with my prince charming, the weekend had NOTHING to do with my computer.  I don't want to be glued to my computer.

This is why, I am making changes peeps.

I am consolidating my computer time.

#1 Skyping my lover.

#2 Keeping up with my long distance friends and family.

#3 Using my blog as my outlet.

#4 Continuing my amazing relationships with you all.

By some grace, I stumbled upon this blog last night, and my feelings were reaffirmed.

"Obviously, new bloggers or bloggers who receive a small amount of comments on their daily posts should make interacting with their readers a priority because that is one way you will see growth....But for bloggers who are seeing lots of traffic and are starting to feel torn between living life and typing up emails and comments...the choice needs to be life."

{Her whole Commenting Series is genius, as a matter of fact}

I do want to keep up with all of you, so I installed a new "Full Reader" in my Google Chrome.  

Now I can comment from Google Reader, keep up with a lot of you on Twitter, and I LOVE connecting with y'all on Facebook. Some of you even have my phone number, and your texts totally make my day, i.e. Zara's sweet comment on Memorial Day, thanking my husband for his service.

I don't know how much I am really going to change, as I absolutely love every aspect of blogging, but I know that I must streamline this process.  I don't ever want to really burn myself out, so I'm going to take it one day at a time.  

Thanks in advance for being patient with me!

I hope that you all had a lovely Memorial Day Weekend, and enjoy the four day week ahead.

I seriously love you all...
