Okay well maybe not deleting it completely but I absolutely considered it and I know it definitely needs some work. I’m really burnt out on blogging!
Someone recently asked my why I started blogging and honestly I really started blogging as a release. A kind of hobby. But it seems like it quickly turned into more work and less play. I still write posts I’m passionate about but generally they are just letting off steam or end up being a random jumbled mess from my brain (like this post) and they never get published.
I’ll admit my blog has been crap these past few months. Probably not something I’d personally be interested in reading. “Content is king!”
Don’t get me wrong, I love doing reviews and sponsored posts but I feel like I need more of a mix. I need more of the things I enjoy like photography, crafts, and food! I stopped doing my SOOC Saturday due to pure laziness. Although it was usually the easiest and most enjoyable post I got to write all week.
I was never originally thrilled with the name of my blog. Marvelous Mommy? Sounds a bit conceited to me, although that’s not how it was intended. I’d like to start over with a new blog, new name, new design but with that comes that hassle of building followers and page rank and all that fun stat stuff.
I’ve read quite a few blogs lately (one in particular) that I truly want to read. They constantly spit words out on paper that keep you intrigued and wanting to read more. A skill that I don’t naturally have.
I guess I don’t really know what I want. This post is alllll over the place. My domain name expires in December and although I plan to renew it, come January 2013 I hope to revamp my blog into a much more enjoyable place to visit.
Thanks to all you folks that have been here since the beginning and continue to follow!! Love Y’all!
Re-vamping is never a bad thing to do, especially if you are not feeling it currently. I hope you are able to get what you are looking for out of your blog!
Thanks Dawn! Me too!
I can totally understand. After two years of blogging I’m pretty burnt out and find myself posting less frequently. My blog has also taken a turn to mostly reviews/giveaways & sponsored posts and I’d like to get back to more personal posts like I was writing in the beginning. I’ve been considering a blog revamp as well but not quite sure what I want to do. Can’t wait to see the changes you make and if I have to re-follow you on another blog you know I will. 😉
Aw thank you!! I stopped reading a lot of blogs after my second daughter was born and I think that affected my writing as well. I would really love to start over from square one but it also sounds like a pain in the you know what.
I think I’ll have to purchase my domain name in December anyways, even if I change my blog name because I’ll need to redirect the traffic coming from the old to the new. Ugh there’s so much work to do! I don’t even wanna think about it!! Hahaha
I was wondering where you’ve been but I just figured with the new(ish) baby that you have a lot more on your plate now. Besides, I can’t hardly comment on your absence when I didn’t post for two months myself,hehe.
Whatever you decide to do, I hope it’s something that will bring you joy and satisfaction again.
Thank you! Yes I believe my interest in blogging declined after my second girl was born! It’s been chaos ever since!!
It does sound like a lot of work but starting over isn’t always a bad thing! I enjoy reading your blog and I love that your “local” to me. Best of luck with your blogging!
I can’t wait to see how you re-vamp your blog. I personally love your blog. I love reading your posts.
