Hi there! Well, you probably know what the title means. I’ll be taking some time off from posting on maggie’s doodles until December! I’ve been posting here and there in November, but it felt scattered and it just wasn’t as fun as the other months have been. That’s because I loved doing #Inktober2020 and I’m stoked about what I’ll be posting in December!
I didn’t have any solid post plans or a schedule for this month, which resulted in posts being published but with little to no passion. (and that’s what I love about blogging: heartily enjoying it, not just following a schedule!)
On top of that, it hasn’t just been a loss of my enjoyment in blogging – I’ve also been working on things in my real life! I don’t like to think of blogging as my fake life or anything haha, but what I do online and on electronics is usually separate. That’s why I really like to keep up with streamlining blogging with my life, which means my posts reflect what I’m doing, learning, and enjoying in my everyday life! (i.e. photoshoots, book reviews, doodles, etc.)
However, in November I’ve been doing activities with my family and updating organization systems, which are things I’m dedicating time to but aren’t what I’ve been wanting to blog about. Therefore, I wrote posts that I was enjoying in September or October for example, but it felt unnatural in November.
So I won’t be posting on maggie’s doodles right now, but you’ll see me again soon! Also I’m not leaving WordPress for the rest of this month – I’m still catching up on reading blog posts! You’ll also see a new post from me on Living the Blogging Life TOMORROW, so be on the lookout for that! And a guest post for My Life of Faith is in the works and I can’t wait to share that with you, as well!
I don’t know what to do about podcasting at the moment. lol I was enjoying doing a few a week, but now my idea well has run dry. (My latest episode was done yesterday, and I interviewed a special guest!) Any ideas? I’d love to hear them! (and I’d be very grateful! hehe)
Well, I suppose there’s not much more to say. I am glad to be doing this instead of continuing with the posts that I just wasn’t totally vibing with. XD (*gasp* I used the ‘xd’ face *tips over*) But you’ll absolutely LOVE my December blog makeover and the content I have planned! Nothing’s set in stone since I allow my blogging goals to ebb and flow, HOWEVER. It’s gonna be amazing and super festive, whatever I end up doing. I can’t wait!!
Thanks so much for reading! OOH and quick note, have you checked out Amy’s new blog yet?? She’s doing a side blog all winter long called frost flower that is absolutely GORGEOUS! The posts she’s sharing on there are so amazing and I’d love it if you guys checked it out. Here’s the latest post. (the design Amy did is out of this world BEAUTIFUL, and it even looks epic on mobile. How’d she manage that?? winter magic!)
Ok! Enough rambling! I’ll see you guys real soon! 😀 ❤

Yeah! If my blogging inspiration didn’t go away from time to time, I’d burn myself out. lol (I love blogging so much!) so I’m glad for breaks! 🙂
Yes!! That’s super important to me. I also wanted to make sure I was open about why I’m disappearing for a little bit, because I want to show others that how we’re feeling is valid and we need to do what’s best for us, even if others don’t understand or if it makes us sad. Mental health matters!
Yes see you in December! and aww thank you! ❤
