That’s right, I’m taking 2 full weeks off from blogging to enjoy the simplicity of summer… and the fact that Dave will only be home all day for a few more weeks.
Doesn’t it always seem like summer goes WAY too fast?
It does!
I won’t be posting guest blogs, reposting old content, or documenting our daily life like I did over our spring break “staycation”. There will be no giveaways or special promotions. The blog will simply sit for two weeks without updates.
Yes, I’ll probably lose a few readers and a bit of revenue, but I’m OK with that. The purpose of my blog is to help others to simplify and get more organized… so I assume I can take a bit of time to do the same 🙂
I’m tired.
Really, really tired.
After 8 months caring for a fussy baby who never sleeps, managing our home, and working more than full time… I just need a break.
My hope is to get some much needed rest, cross a few things off my list, have a little fun, and come back with new energy and lots of new ideas to share here on Simple Organized Living.
I will still be active over on the facebook page, so head over there if you want to stay in the loop…. otherwise I’ll see you back here in August!
Mandy says
You deserve the time off and you have a great blog I love it! And don’t worry about losing readers we’ll still be here when you come back!
Enjoy your time with your husband and beatiful little girl Nora – shes a gem!
🙂 Mandy

I hope you can get some good refreshing rest!

I’m so happy for you; that sounds like a great idea! Blogland will be here in 2 weeks when you come back, as will I!
Nicole says
I’ll miss your posts! However, this site is all about prioritizing, and putting your health and sanity first is never something to be sorry for! Enjoy.
Lisa says
What a wonderful idea, enjoy all the time you can with your family. God Bless!!
Julia says
Enjoy your vacation!!! Selfishly, I’ll miss your posts 🙂 but as someone else who works “more than full time” out of her house, I totally get it! Summers in the Great Lakes are far too short and you are wise to enjoy every second. Can’t wait to see what you have to share next month
Jen says
So what you’re saying is that if we want new content, we’re “SOL”? 😉
I’ll miss your updates, but I’d rather miss SOL for two weeks than have you burn out and shut it down indefinitely. You’ll come back refreshed, with a long list of new topics you can’t wait to discuss, and we’ll all reap the benefits of your break. 🙂 Yeah, I’m selfish like that. lol
Enjoy the break and the time with Dave! Nora is about to enter a really cool, challenging, but FUN stage, and you deserve to enjoy it together.
Abra says
That is a great idea. You will be missed, but I will look forward to your next post. Enjoy!
JoAnn C. says
As the full time caregiver for my 81 year-old mom, I know what tired is. I am so very happy for you in recognizing a needed time-out. I will miss your posts and cannot wait until you come back. You are setting an example for those of us who really need to take time off but simply can’t or won’t. Thank you dear!
Thrifty Mom in Boise says
Great idea! Take care and look forward to checking back in a couple of weeks.
Candis says
Enjoy your break! See you in August.
Tamara says
Good for you! While I will temporarily miss your posts and your cute pictures of your daughter – everyone deserves a vacation and should never feel guilty about taking one. Have fun!
Jessica aka The Frugal Townie says
Sometimes you’ve got to take a break! I can’t imagine why you would lose any readers over this, but if you do, who needs those guys anyway? Enjoy your time off and rest up. 🙂
Amy says
Good for you!! Everyone deserves a vacation. Relax & enjoy!!
Patti says
Atta Girl! Enjoy… so very well deserved!
Tammy says
Enjoy! I’ll be traveling so for me it’s perfect timing: I wont miss anything!
Margo says
Enjoy your vacation. I’m sure most of your readers will still be here when you return to blogging.
Dorcas says
So, so many times Nora has reminded me of my 8 1/2 month old first born. I’m a lot like you, and we respond in the same way many times. I know all too well the tiredness, the fussiness, the frustration of a lack of schedule. And I wonder how you can go on. I respect your decision to take a break. Sleep, do nothing, and be refreshed! Best wishes!
Lisa says
Enjoy it! Take lots of naps 🙂
julie says
Enjoy your time with your family!! 🙂
jodimichelle says
Love it. Happy break!
Bama Girl says
Hi Andrea! Hope you get what you need to get done during this time. The main thing is, just enjoy the time you have with your precious family! I love reading your blog even though I may not comment often. Can’t wait for August! Blessings from Bama!
Jennifer says
I think that is great! Enjoy your time off. You gotta do what you gotta do 🙂
Hope says
Good, good good for you (and your family). You’ll be better able to care for Nora and be the best wife you can be to David for taking the time to rest. Remember, even Jesus took time away.
May your two weeks be LONG and relaxing:-)
Katy says
Hope you enjoy your time off! I’ll miss your posts, but as a stay at home mom to 2 kids under the age of 2…I totally get being tired! Your vacation is well-deserved 🙂
Janet Pfaff says
Everybody deserves a vacation. Enjoy it.
Stacey says
Good for you!
Blessings to you as you restore and refresh yourself!
