I feel like every blog I have read recently mentions not having any valuable content to share. What’s the deal? Why are so many struggling to pull content? Myself included. Is it summer? This time of year promotes time outside and being unplugged. Is that it?? I just wonder if I have stopped taking the time to focus in on our accomplishments. And that is where my lack of content is coming into play.
I struggle everyday to find the balance of my personal life and blog life. I find them so entangled some days, it’s crazy. While other days, they are worlds apart.
Yesterday I received a comment on a older post about preemies. It included a link to a blog that I will not be providing. I deleted the comment and the email yesterday out of anger, then had to restart my computer so the blog address went away, and is not in my history. But if I had it, I don’t want to give the author the satisfaction of having pageviews from my blog.
I really appreciate all the support I got from you all yesterday on the topic on Twitter, and by dinner time I was moving past my feelings of hurt and anger.
I will not let one person’s ignorance ruin me, my view on my child or my blog content. I am choosing to focus instead on our lives and what I want to document.
Timothy asked to go to the potty yesterday 3 times. That is a daily accomplishment for our family. While it may not be burning news in the blog world, it’s burning news for us. Pull-ups are not working for T. I really wanted them to. But I think he thinks they are diapers, and that’s it. So, Starting next week we are packing three sets of extra clothes everyday for daycare, and the boy is going to wear real underwear to school.
He is showing all the signs, and while I feel like I may be pushing him a little, I think he is ready. Or right there on the cusp of ready, and I am pushing him head or rather, hiney first. {Ha-Ha}

Do not allow a mean person to bully you or make you feel bad about your blog, what you say on it or your child.
People are crazy!
Personally, I think when people focus too much on churning out content for others, the blog falls flat. But, that is just me.
Not everyone agrees with me, my lifestyle, my views on motherhood and special needs and I get mean comments emails from time to time. I just acknowledge that it hurt my feelings/ made me angry and move on. Your doing great.
Way to go T with the potty!!!
Like Heather said, people are going to disagree with you and try to make you feel bad. Keep your head up! You're doing a great job!
who does stuff like that?!? I don't understand when people just want to be mean!
Go T for potty progress!
People like that are just insecure. I love your blog and reading about your family - keep it up, lady! :)
I am glad you are moving past the meanness of someone else.
We all blog for our own reasons. My blog isn't fancy. I don't post very often and I am not an excellent writer. But I like to document some things...I think keeping up with a handful of other bloggers and a learn a ton from this community.
Way to go with the potty!
