Some days I wake up motivated. I want to get ready for the day. I want to go out and window shop. I want my house to be clean, and you know what, all that happens. I do get up and get ready, I do go out and window shop and my house is cleaned. I used to be like that with my blog too. I used to post twice a day. GAH! I know, a little crazy right? What?! I wanted you guys to like me, I wanted variety on my blog.
See the thing is, I don't feel too motivated anymore. I still get up, get ready, leave the house, but when it comes to my blog, I feel like I'm not excited about it anymore. I love comments, I love reading your posts & getting to know you better. I just feel like I got into habit of linking up. (Look what I'm doing now, ha!) Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE the link-ups that I link up with! LOVE THEM! I just don't seem to think for myself anymore. I know Monday Listicles, will have a great topic, Target Tuesday is great, The Nail Files, are fun. I just think the only time I have to think for myself is Wednesday. Maybe Thursday. I don't post on the weekend. I spend time with my family...
I just feel like, maybe I'm lost. Maybe I depend on you guys too much? I know I don't always have to link up, but I like it. Hmmm... what's a girl to do? What should I write about? I need to take over my blog, write about what I want to write about, post when I want to post. Maybe that means you get to see a couple posts a day from me, or maybe just a couple a week. It's mine. I just don't know if I can kick myself up out of this rut. So again, I'll ask, what do you like to see? Tutorials? DIY craft things? Food? I can really try about anything. I'm pretty open.
Linking up with Shell, to Pour My Heart Out and let you know, I'm in a blogging rut and I need to do something about it!
P.S. Yesterday was day # 2 without soda!! YAY! Also, I added some rosette hair clips OR pins to my Etsy Shop! And just in case you didn't stop by yesterday, check out my post where we get to know The Preppy Girl In Pink a little bit better!
I keep a running tally of interesting blog posts. Maybe you do host some guest posts? I link up a lot too, as I'm trying to make connections right now ;)
I really think it is this time of year. I am still in a bit of a rut. I'm not writing at my best either. Somtimes I feel the pressure to post but I am working on something that is better for me and to make blogging enjoyable again. I am unplugging a bit more and I am going to write when it inspires me or I have something to share. Remember, you can always write a few topics on one day but you can always schedule their publish dates/times so they post on different days. When we start stressing about our blogs, it is time to look at it differently. I personally love when you just write what is on your mind. Also, just sharing a picture of Ab with a caption is great too. I'm sure all of your readers have grown to adore her just like I have. Whatever changes you make...just be you, Sara. That is the person we all come to see. xo!
We all get stuck in a rut my friend! The best thing about our blogs is the just that: they are ours... You can feed them as little or as much as you want. So that is that. Go, be happy. And a big pat on the back for two days soda free!!
Sorry I haven't been over to visit in a while.... I'd love to see you post on what you're passionate about. And I think Kristen and Stasha gave you some great advice! :)

I think you have to decide where your passion is- and write that. :)
