I actually found this post when you first posted it and keep coming back to it for the Fulton Sheen quotes. And each time I read it I'm laughing so loud I startle my nursing child. LOVE LOVE LOVE the boy decoys!! Hilarious! And I burst out laughing every time I read your future blog post title. <br /><br />I struggle with maintaining my blog for the same reasons you do. It stops becoming fun the moment I feel obligated to make it worthy of readership. At the same time I have a hard time giving it up because I like the documentation aspect. Hmmm... Tricky.

I found myself writing drivel about the weather yesterday because it had been several days since I had posted something and I wanted something on the screen. What I want to do is write what is important to me, like why I homeschool and other thoughts on it, since we're gearing up to start the next year, but I get really scared of doing that. I think MamaH is spot on! We don't have to follow anyone's schedule. These are our blogs! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377582441405318696.post-8602360502839178262013-07-18T08:46:33.002-04:002013-07-18T08:46:33.002-04:00Thank you, Aunt Claire!

I p...I can definitely relate to your struggle here. I personally was in a major rut with my blog, partly because I felt like I was never "current" with my blogging. Well..who says you have to blog all the time, or every day? You don't. Some of my favorite blogs update only randomly.<br />I think it's easy to feel as though we need to be like a news station. But um..we're like..MOMS.. who are busy with real lives. SOme people are able to update frequently and that is awesome! But that's not everybody. <br />In my own experience of trying on and off for 5 years to maintain different blogs of mine, I feel like I finally just figured out what I really want to do with it. Sometimes it just takes time.<br />The toilet wow and the trick by your boys are both so so funny!!! And that is so interesting that Fulton Sheen wrote a book for parents! I never knew that and now I want to check it out!!!<br />Keep on keepin on at whatever pace is good for you:):) Your blog is truly lovely!Heather Honeychild https://www.blogger.com/profile/16612151213194912194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377582441405318696.post-33817104429641185922013-07-17T12:15:27.065-04:002013-07-17T12:15:27.065-04:00I love your blog!

I love posts like this! Those boy decoys are HILARIOUS!! VERY tricky. I definitely need to pray to my boys' guardian angels like that. I've never really thought to do that in similar circumstances! Duh! I think perhaps you should write a prayer book for ordinary mothers :)Mary @ Better Than Edenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05409924891343767874noreply@blogger.com
