The State of the Blog Address

Once upon a time, I started a blog.

I had big plans for the blog and spent many hours devoted to it. It was my third child and I was determined that it would grow up into a big girl project with many readers and sponsorship deals.

Then one day I went back to work full-time. My kids were preschool and Kindergarten aged, and my job at a private school would allow us to spend the day “together” in the same building, but I would finally be contributing to our family’s income once again.

At the same time, our Internet service at our new home was all but nonexistant. “Wireless broadband” service in our area is a joke and while I still had thoughts I wanted to get onto screen, lengthy load times and snails-pace load times sucked the joy right out of my little hobby. While I still fulfilled the odd product review post (usually late…sorry!), that’s all this little project has been for over a year – impersonal, infrequently updated, and in desperate need of a redesign.

Then one day, a miracle occurred. Perhaps that’s an overexaggeration, but in my life, it was huge. Broadband Internet by way of Time Warner Cable finally came to our subdivision and Extreme Internet entered our home. Netflix was resubscribed, my browser updates finally downloaded, and my friends…I AM BACK!

So that’s where we are today. I’ve got a long list of posts I want to write and I finally have the capability of doing so again. We are planning to add to our family in 2015, so be prepared for posts about that. I still want to do product reviews when it seems right, and I desperately want a blog redesign.
