Blogging takes a lot more time than most people think!<br /><br />But I do have to say, one good thing for me is that I still haven't gone through all your past ideas taht I want to try with my son! So at least now maybe I can catch up!!! <br /><br />And pick your own schedule. I have backed off too and now only blog 2 times a week and comment to some, not all of my readers.

I keep telling myself that once things get up and running a bit more for my blog I'll cut back.....I'm in the process of figuring out how to manage it all, one way of which was the scheduled posts thing. But you are exactly right about the time issue. Best of luck figuring it all out. And if you ever have any good tips about it all, let me know!<br /><br />By the way, I just gave you a few awards over on my blog.<br />Take care!<br />LindaLittle Family Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503910505737233070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-17780039246144790212010-02-20T00:52:20.885-04:002010-02-20T00:52:20.885-04:00I'd like to echo everything that everyone else...I'd like to echo everything that everyone else has mentioned. <br /><br />I'd like to add that don't you DARE actually DELETE this work of art.

I've come up with a good way to stay on top of the blogging and make sure it's not something I have to spend hours on everyday: it is through creating my posts all at once and then have them scheduled throughout the week. So far, it's been really nice to be able to focus on what I am doing each day and not worrying about making sure I have time to blog about it that night! You can click on post options on the bottom left of each post to schedule when you want it to be posted. Anyways, if you decide to try that, I hope it helps. I may even do a post about this soon.<br /><br />Also, just wanted to let you know that tomorrow I am posting about how we did the number recognition activity with cars. Thanks for the great idea! <br />Take care!<br />LindaLittle Family Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12503910505737233070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-13257435955564646012010-02-19T14:58:04.878-04:002010-02-19T14:58:04.878-04:00Oh, take your time!

When blogging becomes "blah" sometimes it helps to take a break. I've taken some long breaks in the past, but short little breaks can be just the thing too.

I blog mostly so that I have a nice record of what I do in homeschool, but I'm getting way behind and finding it a chore to keep up with what I want to post. I think taking breaks helps, and also not feeling like I have to blog immediately about everything. Enjoy your break, and get refreshed. Take the time you need (though I will miss you). Blog when you can, but don't pressure yourself to keep up. (I'm really preaching at myself here...lol). However, I agree with Christine-please don't delete your blog! Your blog is one of my favorites. I'm constantly looking at your tot trays and activities, and I use a lot of your ideas. <br /><br />Blessings!<br />DebbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862163059927293977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4681682116832899311.post-13984612560048249312010-02-18T18:04:31.783-04:002010-02-18T18:04:31.783-04:00I understand!
