Remember at the beginning of the year I said I was going to keep up with this every week? HAHAHAHA. I know, I know, I’m a shite blogger!
To be fair, I was drowning. My main job, as a content writer, had taken over my life. All I was doing was writing for other people, all the while neglecting my own blogs – which ironically got me on this career path to begin with. It also took me away from my family far too much – I was either working or stressing about working. The stupid thing is I started to do this so I could spend more time at home with the kids.
So, when a few weeks ago, I got an email to say that my job was coming to an end (thanks, AI), I tried to look at the positives. It would give me more time to spend with the kids, and I would be able to develop some new skills, and maybe dabble in something new. I’m still doing freelancing bits and pieces but instead of working stupid hours, it’s only been a couple of hours a day and it has been AMAZING. I will write about it very soon because it’s been quite exciting, actually. It also means I am happier and less stressed.
One of the good things is that because I am now the one at home not working full time (and some!), I am cooking more, and I am really enjoying that as well, and I think this will show in meal planning posts – which I will (hopefully!) be able to do much more regularly now!
