do you have a blog schedule? do you stick to it? how does it work for you? what is the hardest part about bloggin?
after reading a friend's blog about the lack of blogging, following through, etc. i realized that i too fell in this "lack of" category. i post a blog about something and then forget or time goes on and many more life events take place so i never get back to the "so, this is how it turned out" or "let me update you on this" or simply bloggin about it period. slacker.
so, i have made myself a new blog "schedule" if you will. i have even gone so far as to block out time of the day to write & publish. this can't be that hard. must.follow.through.
when i launched the blog on the dot com i said that i would blog about meal planning. well i did, twice. and let me just say meal planning is for the birds. or supermoms unlike me. i just can't do it. i cannot stick to it no matter how hard i try. like laying out my clothes for work the night before, 99% of the time i am not wearing those clothes and when i get home from work 3 days later, they are still laying in the same spot never to be worn. much like the groceries i buy for these "planned meals" that never happen. i end up with the most random items in my pantry and nothing to make a meal with.
i sat down and really came up with a list of 7 things that i could write about, outside of life events. 7 topics, one for each day of the week. these are things that i already do, or have started doing recently so why not incorporate them into daily posts?! i like to write. i like to share. why not write about the daily happenings and share them with the rest of the blogger world. maybe this will help me take more pictures of life as its happening and not just the scheduled shoots of people who really aren't my "family" although after one session i consider them all friends/family :)
starting monday i will test the waters of this new found "schedule" in hopes that i really can find the time to do it each day. i am thinking daily lunch breaks at starbucks are about to become the new norm so that i can write, edit, publish, post, link....etc. sounds like a perfect scene for some quality ME time.
Mommy Monday's will feature stories of being a mommy. all things mom. all things me. all things i do for me to be a better mommy. mom things.(and updating Jacob's page too, because after all he does call me mom)
Project Tuesday's will feature our current home makeover projects. our project wishlists. updates/pictures of projects. and possibly a few tutorials of "how we did".
Wedded Wednesday's just as it sounds. all things married. our together devotionals. my prayers for my husband. all things my husband. all things my husband and i. i know your just dying to hear all the details?!
Photo Thursday's the week in photos. my favorite photo of the week. our life in photos. must take more photos, daily.
Fellowship Friday's my favorite devo of the week from church. my favorite mommy time devo. my favorite couples devo. verses of the week. what God is laying on my heart to share this week.
Saturday's Family Affairs (not that kind of affair!) family time. weekend events. what we are up to this week. all things family.
Sunday Praise all things in need of praise. period.
may the starbucks cards be plentiful and may my discipline stay up to par! i have so much to share. i have so much to keep memory of. i have so much life to love. i have so much to blog.
enjoy the ride of the ever changing blog schedule...it's a work in progress!
