I've Been Thinking...

of getting rid of our blog. I feel like i don't have the time or desire to keep it updated and i spend all my time on our family albums (which are insanely cute by the way) and our home videos. Maybe i can put links up to the albums or something...i don't know. Is it really worth it? I have so many cute pictures and so many memories i want to share but it just takes so long to put them on the blog. I'd much rather spend the time with my kids and my sweetheart writing in our journals and recording it all in our albums than on my computer discussing my inner most feelings and latest fun times with the world. On the other hand it's fun to share ridiculously cute pictures of your kids and great times with the family. So im stuck. Ive tried turning my blog into a book but i found another program i like better to do our family albums, so that's not an option. What do you think? Do i throw in the towel, or is there an option i'm missing?

C'mon. I can't post without including a picture of this beautiful girl...

I am getting tired of blogging too- maybe we'll just do the online scrapbook thing!

Do you post through blogger? Have you ever tried Picasa? It downloads all your pictures, you pick pictures, collage them together, it resizes them for you, you type a few things and it uploads it for you. Makes it a lot faster for me. I would never do it if it wasn't for that. You can also post a ton at once, change the dates and they'll automatically post for you whatever day you pick. That might be an easier way for you if you've never done that before... It's just fun to see pics of your family (and especially with little gracie coming), I know there will be more people who will want to see her too!

I know what you mean, I've been terrible at our blog lately...but I have to say, I love it that you have one. We love seeing you guys and Nicci and your updates. It's such a good way to keep in touch, especially with family when we don't live close....my vote is keep you blog!! ;) Love ya!!

I would love to know what programs you are using....blogs are great for us to keep up to date with ALL our family that we hardly ever see. There's nothing wrong with a random post here and there. We like what you have done with your blog...I wouldn't about stress about posting a lot. :O)

Hope you aren't in as much pain these days! I put your name in the temple the other day! :O) Love you guys!

I understand about not having time. That's why we don't have a blog, but I do think about it a lot. I love seeing all your pictures and getting to know your beautiful Nicci a little. Don't feel bad if you decide to not do it any more, just please wait until you post some pictures of Gracie!

Good luck! Hope you're feeling at least a little better!

What other program is it that you're using? I'd love to hear about it. I love blogging, but theres something that I dont like about putting really personal family info on there. I want it recorded just not on the blog. So usually I dont end up recording it.

If I were you I'd keep it for a random update here and there, but dont feel like you have to keep it updated all the time. I'm pretty sporadic with mine. I'll post a few things and then go weeks without anything.

Have I mentioned you're adorable as a pregnant woman (and not pregnant too). Im sure you know most woman would die to look as good as you when they're pregnant. Hope things are well with you guys.

I understand, but sometimes the occasional post is better than nothing!

I too would like to know what other program you're using. I'm so behind on my family albums!

Lindzie said...

awe don't leave us! Even if it's just an occasional post...we still love to hear from you!

Molly said...

This is my only way of keeping track of you! I love your occassional posts, and I'm not great at keeping mine up either. I say keep it up!

Blogging becomes MUCH easier and much more fun when you don't feel like you have to blog every event, milestone, cute thing etc that happens in the day to day life. We all just want random updates on you! I hate it when people say they don't blog anymore because they're so behind... nobody knows your behind. Just tell us what's going on today! Whether you sit down to right about your kicking baby or Nicci's drawing at school.
I keep mine up mostly for my parents & siblings... so just thing of me as your extended family that lives far away that only gets to know how you're doing through your blog. See... now I didn't I make you re-think the whole blogging thing? If I didn't - call me. I can be more persuasive on the phone! Love you girl - hope you're doing better.

I love your blog--even if you don't post regularly. :)

Jenna said...

This is how I keep track of you too! If you don't blog, then you'll have to keep up on facebook. So one or the other. Cause I love seeing how your cute family is doing! =)
