A Few Things I'm Loving Lately: August Edition

This summer, I took a step back from social media

This summer has been one of transition. Six weeks ago, I stopped regularly posting on Instagram. It actually started when I was on a family vacation and wanted to unplug and remove the distraction of always being “on”… and I found it so freeing that I kept up with it!

I’ve been on IG since it pretty much was created. As my account grew, so did partnerships and affiliate links, and it was a side income for my family. It became so second-nature that I didn’t even think twice about showing things in my life to all my followers. When I removed it from my daily life, I saw how much lighter I felt. How I could go do things and not document it. Enjoy the moment and the people around me. Just be.

And now - although how I show up on IG has changed, there are things that haven’t changed. I still love helping others. I still love sharing about life. I still love sharing recipes and motherhood ramblings. I still love connecting over things we all care about. We are all learning life as we go! And right now, I’m finding new ways to do all of that.

I always remind myself that life is always evolving and changing. And it’s important we adjust and do what works best for us. We are all different! Different things will always serve us at different times in life.

For this season, I'm spending a little more time here on this blog, and less on IG. Writing in this little corner of the internet feels the most like me. And that feels pretty good!
