I have been debating whether getting back to the basics of blogging is what I need. I am growing tired of social media where people forget how to be nice and are constantly bashing each other. I prefer to keep things light and positive in my life. Besides this is where Gettysburg Homestead started. For me, it was like a diary of my life. At times my life was boring, but other times exciting. I created tutorials, shared my thoughts, my dreams, and sometimes nothing at all other than something funny that happened.
Since I started this blog my life sure has changed. I am now a middle aged 45 year old woman with 2 adult kids who still live with me, 20 extra lbs (yes, I am being nice because it is way more lol), 11 years post divorce, and a home owner. Oh and in case you didn't know engaged as of September 2019. I am sure I will share more about him in posts yet to come. We have a few things we are planning that are very exciting. :-)
In case you are wondering I still love my primitives and creating. My style has changed over the years, but rest assured I will still share my passion with you. So, let's give this a whirl for awhile see where it goes. I won't promise I will post everyday, but I will update on my Facebook page when I do.
Glad you decided to blog again. I will be looking forward to each entry.

DeleteThank you Janice. Sometimes I over share so you will get to know me quite well. lol
DeleteWelcome back! Looking forward to reading more. I so appreciate no pop-ups or ads on your blog!!
ReplyDeleteThose pop ups are the worst! I do this for fun and not to make money so no pops ups here.
DeleteCongrats on your engagement!
ReplyDeleteI prefer blogging to Facebook. It just seems so much more personal and people are so much nicer!!!
Thank you! I so agree with people being nicer.
DeleteWelcome back!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marly.
DeleteHappy to see you back here ~ just added your blog to mine!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori!
DeleteI started blogging in 2009. I'm Maggie from Maggie's Lil' Fixins. I had taken a break about a year ago and found I missed blogging! Even though I have several country decorating pages on FB, blogging is special. I missed having a "conversation" as opposed to just a "post." You'll be happy blogging again!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back ~ I have missed you !
ReplyDeleteAwww...thank you :-)
DeleteWelcome back my friend.... I have taken many a breaks from blogging...never because I was tired of it, but just because life got in the way....in various ways....but my heart was always here, and I always come back. FB is just not the same...the relationships so superficial so often...and yes, lots of rudeness. Glad to see you back. Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin (And congrats on the engagement....woo hoo!!!)
ReplyDeleteI agree. I thought FB would be easier faster so that life wouldn't get in the way, but it wasn't. Life has slowed a little to allow me to come back. I think it's easier to tell my story this way.
