Love Of Oats

A blog dedicated to balancing a healthy and fun life… with oats!

Much Needed

Hi!  I can’t believe its been almost a month since blogging but I wanted to let you know that I will be returning but probably just in an occassional, once or twice a week format… I have been feeling really burnt out lately so I decided to take an abrupt break from blogging.  By taking the break, I was able to focus on throwing two really great bridal showers for two of my friends whose weddings’ are coming up, work on the house, and get a lot of work done in terms of our wedding album, oh and also, ENJOY LIFE!!!!!!

I have decided that I really enjoyed going home and not turning on the computer, but a part of me also misses the blog, so I think if I blog in moderation (hehe) I can get the best of both worlds.  What do you think? 

Part of me stopped blogging because I realized that I think I’m done with blogging what I eat.  I have come to accept that I eat pretty much the same things over and over again for most meals, but dinner is where I tend to get creative, especially now that I have limited time, so I’m considering just focusing on new recipes.  Any feedback you want to leave is greatly appreciated!

I’m sorry for leaving you all in the dark, but I just wanted to take a break without thinking about it.  I still have yet to sort through all of the emails that you all have sent me, so I appreciate you bearing with me!  All is well with me though, so I appreciate the concern from all of you :)   Just dealing with house projects, family & friend functions, and a jam-packed work schedule has prevented me from blogging, that’s all :)

    Odd this publish is totaly unrelated to what I used to be looking out google for, however it used to be indexed at the first page. I assume your doing one thing proper if Google likes you sufficient to position you at the first page of a non related search.

    Good for you, Lyndsay! You have to enjoy life. Blogging is a fun hobby, but when it starts to become a “job” then it’s no fun and time for a vacation!! You’ll always be on my blogroll; I’m loyal to my Philly girls!!

    Welcome back :) . I’ve only just started my blog, but already I can see how much time it can take up. I think I’m going to adopt an a-few-times-a-week approach, too. If it’s becoming too much then you’re doing the right thing. We’ll still be here reading!

    I totally understand…I’ve been going through many of the same things. I really respect that you are able to draw boundaries and take some time for yourself to sort things out.

    Everyone else has already said it, but this blog is for you, and we know you have a life outside of it. Whatever works for you is okay! In the end, I think that the most interesting posts to read are always the ones where the blogger is clearly interested and passionate about what she is writing. So if you write about what seems fun to you, you really can’t go wrong.

    Hi! I’ve really missed you! But I totally understand about taking a blog break… I’ve going through that right now myself!

    Welcome back! :-)

    You should always blog (or not blog) for whatever schedule works for you. And there’s no reason it has to be set in stone either. I’m sure you’ll figure out what format works best for you so you can enjoy life & blogging :)

    I’m glad you checked in! I was wondering where you were!

    With that said, take all the time you need and post when you want. Blogging should be a hobby not a chore :)

  • Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says:

    Great to have you back Lindsay! I definitely think that this blog should be used to benefit YOU, so if you need a break, more power to you! Use this blog as a tool for YOU… post what you want and when you want. Share your thoughts OR share your foods. :) Can’t wait to hear from you soon!

    xxoo

    I’m so glad that everything is alright with you! The most important thing we can do in life is to make the most and LIVE the most with this life we have, and (in my opinion) spending so much time with computers, tvs, etc. just really eats away at our ability to live life to the fullest. I totally understand and look forward to whatever posts you have in the future, whenever you feel like it! Love ya girl!

    I was just going to email yesterday, but then we had a little emergency, but I’m so glad we heard from you!

    I agree, blog when and what you want, and we’ll be here!

  • grandmahoney says:

    Well I just want you to know that I have learned much from you. I really appreciate all that you shared. I’ve adapted many of your eating habits. But I understand how life changes and so do we. But just wanted to say thank you.

    Hi Lindsay, It’s so good to see a post from you! I think you should do what makes you happy!

  • brandi says:

    sounds like it’s been a good break with lots of fun stuff and work going on! Blog when you want (or don’t) – as long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.

  • Leah says:

    Great to hear from you, Lindsay!
    I couldn’t agree more with the blogging hiatus! I take one from time to time!

    Enjoy yourself! If you’re not, then whats the point? :)

  • Foodie (Fab and Delicious Food) says:

    Thanks for the update! Glad everything is going well!

    That would be awesome if you could still blog from time to time. Just blog when you can, blog for fun! I think your idea of just focusing on new recipes is a great idea!

    Take care!

  • Hallie says:

    Welcome back! I was hoping you’d reutrn for blogging :-)

    I used to feel major pressure to blog every day, or almost every day…but then I got over it (and I’ve only been blogging since January)! I think your blog will be better in the long run if you write what you are passionate about, not just posting to post.

    (But you DEF should put up house/project photos. Give us renters something to dream about…)

  • Sarah (from See Sarah Eat) says:

    I did the same thing a while back so I totally get how you feel. Blogging should be fun and when its not, you need a break. I’ve just recently (like last week) gone back to blogging some meals but that took a while.

    Glad to hear from you and hope to occasionally when you feel up to it ;-)

  • Erica says:

    I have seriously been wondering where you were/if everything was ok! I am so glad it is! I totally hear you…blogging takes up a ginormous amount of time. Do what you gotta do- you know we’ll always be here for you :)
