Hey everyone! I hope you’re having a great Friday afternoon.
I just wanted to apologize for the lack of posts this week. As I stated on Facebook, I’ve been really trying to get my daughter potty trained (oh the joys of potty training and cleaning it up!) and have just been staying away from the computer. During this time I’ve had time to reflect on the last six months that we’ve been up and going and how it’s changed. I started this blog as a means to share couponing, my experiences and how God has used both to bless me and my family, with people. Over time, it’s become about getting the most posts up. In the end, I’ve become burnt out and resentful of it.
Don’t get me wrong, I love posting these awesome deals and hearing about the deals you all find, but I’m not so thrilled with how it’s taken over my life. I think I had become obsessed with keeping up with the Jone’s (aka the big girl couponing blogs) and making sure I got every freebie and great deal up and posted for all to see. But truthfully, I don’t have the time or means to keep up that pace. It’s not a competition…but a big community working together.
So, here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to continue to blog but it’s not going to be so many posts. It may even go a day or so without a post. *Insert Gasps* Lol. I’ll post the deals I think are the best for the weekly ads and any deals or freebies I come across daily. I’ll also be posting more about my own trips and ups and downs on my couponing journey. I want it to be more relaxed and be able to have time to do the things I want to do. Such as keeping up my house, which by the way was getting pretty nasty by the end of it, and spending more time with my kids and hubby.
Thanks for understanding. I know I may lose a few “fans” by not being OCD on freebies but I have to do what’s best for me and my family. I need more glorifying God then I do glorifying Groupons.com! lol
Thank you and have a great weekend and President’s Day!
