Blogger Burn-Out

If you follow my blog, you may have noticed that I am not posting as much.  I am experiencing blogger burn-out and I am going to take some time off to regroup.

I have received some criticism and unkind comments (I am glad I moderate all my comments).  I started my blog for fun and comments like this are not fun.  I am not an expert.  I am not a nutritionist, a doctor, or any other health professional.  I'm a mom.  I blog about my experiences.  I am truly disappointed that some women would feel the need to judge me and to try to do so openly on my blog.

Since my journey into healthy foods I have realized that all my time has been spent in the kitchen.  I am either making a meal or snack or I am cleaning up and doing dishes.  My kids are growing up so fast!  I don't want to live in the kitchen.  I want to spend time with them and enjoy them before they are ready to be off on their own.  Yes, this means I am compromising on some of the food choices I make for my family.  Yes, this means that I am going to make some meals from boxes.  I am thinking about the big picture though and what is overall best for my family.

Sorry to disappoint some of my readers by taking a step back (not a complete reversal) from traditional, real foods.  We all have choices to make and the choices I make are made through lots of reflection and serious thought.
