Comparing to Others and Changes
Monday, March 23, 2015
I've been blogging for 5 years now. I can't believe I started back in March 2010, it's crazy.
I have loved to blog about the projects I have done over the years but I have struggled to actually write posts and keep up with a schedule, which is something I really wanted to do.
There are several reasons why I think this has happened. First being that it is so easy to compare your own blog to others that are more successful. Secondly, having a 7 year old and now a 1 year old, it's so hard to get time to take photos, write a post etc for the blog. Thirdly, partly because of the other reasons, I find it hard to focus on the blog and post. I tinker away at the blog design now and again but writing blog posts seems to hit a brick wall!
I have quite a few different topics that I have blogged about but have found it hard when it comes to writing a blog post on a card that I have made and then writing a post on a project I have done, not sure why. Maybe it's because some people will be interested in the card and some the project and I feel they are too different a topic.
So to try and help me with blogging more I have decided to make another blog called Pretty Sweet Lovely where I can write about the cards that I have made and then keep this blog for the other topics that flow a bit more together, like organisation, projects, home decor, parenting and posts on life.
I really hope that this will help in releasing the fog that seems to have gathered over the blog for me!
So if you are interested in the cards that I made then please go and have a look at Pretty Sweet Lovely and I hope that you will keep visiting here at My May Sunshine too.
Goals for 2015
Friday, January 02, 2015
Happy New Year!
It's been a while since I have blogged properly, so I thought I would start the new year with some goals - personal and for the blog.
Personal Goals.
- Weekly menu planning. I need to do this to encourage the family to eat better.
- Spend more time with Hollie. Having 2 kids now, I need to give Hollie more one on one time.
- Take Amelia to baby groups. She loves playing with her sister but she needs to interact with others and in a different environment.
- Drink more water. This is a common one for a lot of people I know but I have been getting a lot of headaches recently so I think this will help.
- Get a DSLR camera. I would love a good camera to take photos with.
- Learn more about photography. This goes with the DSLR really but would like to learn more about photography generally.
- Finish decorating the house. We have lived in our house for 10 years and there are still walls and ceilings that need to be finished painting!
- Sort out the garden. Need to add some plants and flowers as there aren't any and add some toys for the girls.
Blogging Goals.
- Post at least 2-3 times a week. Having not blogged for 6 months, this to me is important.
- Keep up with social media. I love Instagram but don't keep up enough with facebook and twitter.
- You tube Videos. I started making craft videos a few years ago but didn't continue with them so would like to make some more videos, not sure on what topics though yet.
- Keep organised and focused. I am sorting out my planner at the moment to help keep me organised and a have a list of some blog ideas to keep me focused.
- Write about more topics and not worry about it! One reason I stopped blogging back in July was because I wanted to blog about more things than just crafts but didn't think people would be interested, for some reason, but I am going to write about lots of different topics this year and see how people like them.
So these are my goals for 2015. It will be interesting to see if I can accomplish them this year.
I would love to hear any of your goals for 2015 too!
