counting coconuts finding balance counting coconuts pages home faq about contact free printables sunday february 28 2010 finding balance after a lot of thinking i ve determined that blogging is important to me and it s something i truly enjoy so i will be back to posting soon it s all about balance though and with everything else i have going on in my life right now blogging is definitely going to be placed on the back burner in order to maintain the balance here s what i m going to do fewer posts admittedly this is going to be hard for me to stick to since i have so many things i m always excited to share with all of you no more tot school posts this is something i ve been thinking about for a while now now that james is nearly 3 we re completely focused on montessori also those posts were a pain in the butt to create less blog surfing i m sure all of you can relate to how much time can magically disappear whilst reading your favorite blogs case in point i have 470 unread posts in my google reader right now just think if it took me 30 seconds to read each post not including commenting on them it would ultimately take me over 3 hours to get through all of them and surely within that three hours more posts would be added to the list there are tons of fantastic blogs out there but it s a full time job in and of itself to keep up with reading them less commenting i feel bad even writing that but it goes along with less blog surfing it s another thing that will be hard for me i always have something to say and i love supporting my fellow bloggers fewer replies to comments i am so incredibly appreciative of all the sweet and encouraging feedback i get from all of you but i m just no longer able to respond to each comment if you have questions about something in my posts please ask and i will make a point to respond to them in the comment section so that s it when i step back and look at this i think it s kind of funny that i have to make blog rules for myself but i know me and my type a personality and these rules are an absolute necessity be sure to stay tuned because i have some awesome giveaways coming up and of course with st patty s day just around the corner i ll have a few themed school activities to share as well posted by counting coconuts at 9 00 am labels blogging 18 comments leptir nataša said i m so glad that you find balance and i understand why you need to do all the things on your list big hugs february 28 2010 at 10 47 am cara said mari ann i was just thinking about you this morning i m having similar issues right now trying to find balance with my blogging reading of blogs and responding to comments it can get very overwhelming and i absolutely think you are doing the right thing wanting and or feeling like you have to do it all to be doing it right i completely understand i know your tot school posts took forever for you to put together and although i will miss them i m also very much looking forward to reading about the montessori activities so glad to see you blogging again according to these new rules february 28 2010 at 11 13 am anonymous said hi mari ann i hope everything is ok i totally understand where you are coming from your posts are always so informative and wonderful they must take you a long time to create it is amazing how much time the computer web can take away from us without us even realizing it i love to read others blogs too but i just can t bring myself to comment on all of them on a daily basis i hope you find the balance you are looking for you are a great mommy and great blogger if you ever need to chat feel free to email me hugs tilly february 28 2010 at 12 37 pm jo shabo said as i ve said before i can totally relate i am trying to set limits for myself as well i am thinking about trying to keep my computer off permanently on tuesdays and thursdays and not much on the weekends as much either so i really understand because i have to set rules in place for myself too it really helps hugs february 28 2010 at 3 50 pm quixotic said yay welcome back mari anne we ve missed you i think i may need to set some rules for myself shortly too time does magically disappear down the bloggy rabbithole you do whatever you need to to have balance in your life o february 28 2010 at 4 35 pm sheena said i am in the same boat right now i started blogging about a year ago i was super excited about it but lately my desire has gone down hill i still love to do it but it needs to be more of a hobby than a central part of my life i might have to set down some ground rules for myself as well february 28 2010 at 5 02 pm debbie said best wishes on the new rules i understand completely i am very very glad however that you re keeping your blog february 28 2010 at 6 36 pm anonymous said glad your back and finding the balance is tough but your right there has to be a balance february 28 2010 at 6 48 pm theresa mezo said i like the sound of your blog rules and i too can relate with everything that you said i spend so much time reading blogs commenting and then finding other things i want to read it is very time consuming if only there were more hours in the day i do look forward to seeing your future posts though take care february 28 2010 at 6 58 pm evelyn 2 pequenos traviesos said mari ann you ve been missed and in my prayers i totally understand your new blogging rules they re my rules too only i haven t posted about it it does take a lot of time although we all love blogging i m glad about you finding a balance and being happy you re a great mommy and friend remember you don t have to answer back haha february 28 2010 at 9 04 pm karen said hi mari ann so glad that you find balance placed some rules to your self and find the way to kept making all the great things that you usually do and sooooooo happy that you ll blooging again yeeeaa big hugs february 28 2010 at 10 08 pm the girl who painted trees said i actually am doing the same thing except i haven t written a post about it yet i have a thousand things to read in my google reader no kidding tot school posts always took me forever too and so do the preschool ones and the montessori monday ones it s just easier to keep it to one or two ideas per post isn t it i wrote three posts today and it took two hours march 1 2010 at 12 22 am gaby said good for you you have to take care of yourself and prioritize i do want to thank you for all your support though since i started my blog you were truly missed and it is nice to have you back march 1 2010 at 12 22 am jess said he he totally relate matie i have just taken an offical 3 month break from blogging for similar reasons as well as having a new focus on what my priorities are at the moment not so much montessori based as my girl now going to a monti preschool good luck and enjoy the new rules yay for you march 1 2010 at 5 19 am becca jo said i m glad you re setting boundries that will enable you to still keep everyone up to date on what s going on in your lives smooches and love march 1 2010 at 11 56 am mommy moment said i m glad you found something that will work for you i am so glad that i found a blog partner although the transition has been a bit rough i like that i share the posting with someone i also just post about 1 thing at a time it s quick and i figure that i have many years of posting about montessori and craft ideas to come so once a week on one topic will have to do it s less pressure on me i guess we all need to find what work for us as for commenting i do it when i can and i set a time limit happy you ll be back jody http www mommymoment ca march 1 2010 at 12 44 pm natalie planetsmarty said all good ideas i admit one thing that i did is separating my reader list into level a and level b i still read and comment on level a glance on level b in case something catches my eye and mark everything as read it s been very liberating march 3 2010 at 7 15 pm little family fun said i think you are very smart to do that it is so easy to get caught up in the blog world and let other important aspects of your life pass you by as i ve commented before my little family fun blog is fairly new and i ve spent some time trying to make it to what i want it to be but lately i ve had to ask myself what exactly my goal is for that blog right now i m not too interested in making my blog huge it s not about how many comments i get or how many followers i have right now i think my goal is just to have a place to share what we do and maybe help others that s what i see your blog as too you have some great ideas and i can tell are such a good mom i will still be checking in on your blog to get some good ideas from you take care linda march 4 2010 at 3 38 pm post a comment
