via[/caption]Happy Monday Blog Friends! How was your weekend? Mine was really good. I just got stuff done. You know what I mean right? LIke things you put off for a whole year and in one weekend you begin to tackle all of it. Let's just say my guest room is finally acceptable for humans to come for a visit. So pack your bags and come on over! Sorry it is not cute and Pinterest inspired so I didn't take a photo of a standard room. Imagine the most basic bedroom in your house and then picture it in California, There is your mental photo.
Over the weekend of productivity I a lot of time reflecting on where I am in my life and what I want to accomplish. I am feeling really good about things right now and I want to keep that feeling alive. Part of me loving how I felt this weekend was really disconnecting from technology. I spent time at the pool listening to a neighbor laugh out loud at every text he got, at lunch with my family today, at the mall buying things for an upcoming bachelorette party, reading a book (I have only read 1 book in 2014 and it makes me sad), and not being on the computer or phone. It was glorious.
I really started to feel a little too acttached to my blog and social media. Like if I did not write a post every weekday I would stress out and think about my numbers plummeting and everyone jumping ship to go read posts from a blogger who had her ish together. One of the things I really loved, blogging, had become a chore and a stress for me. And tho sweetened I sat down to figure out how to help alleviate that.
I decided for the month of May I will take a hiatus from blogging. All I mean is that if I don't want to write a post one day I won't. If I do want to write a post I will. May is notoriously terrible for teachers and this year I know is going to be so far beyond crazy that I needed to let something go to help me make it through.
I will not be having sponsored posts this month as I did not think it was fair to my sponsors to have a blogger that is not sure when or if she will post. However, they will still be there on my sidebar for you to pursue their blogs and show them some love. And in June I will be back in full force posting like a fend again and sharing some amazing bloggers with you all. That is unless California falls in the ocean by then or I run away with some hunk to Hawaii and start a whole new life off the grid. Either way things are bound to be exciting round these parts.
In sort I will be posting this month and it will just be when I feel like writing will bring me life and joy instead of take it away. So I hope you will stay around through this month and enjoy the posts that may or may not be coming!
You also should watch this video on social media and technology. I watched it as I was thinking about all of this and it might have made me cry.
PS the one thing I will do for sure each week is Listed Tuesdays. So make sure you come back and add your link to a post that is a list, that is it!
