How My Blog Will Change

Our baby is going to be here with us any day now. I have loved sharing the journey of my pregnancy with you guys. In the beginning I never thought that I would be quite as open as I have been, but documenting my pregnancy has been incredibly special. However, now that my maternity leave from work has officially begun, I have been thinking more about my freelance career and my blog.

Questioning if I will be able to keep up writing, taking images and being social in the space. In this post, I thought that I would share with you some of the ways that my blog may change once our baby is here.

 

 

I don’t want to be a mummy blogger.

The truth of the matter is, I don’t want to be a mummy blogger. This is not a dis to those people that do post nothing but motherhood and child related posts. But that simply isn’t for me. I have no doubt that I will love my child more than anything in the world, however I don’t want that to be the only thing that defines me. There is so much more I feel like I have to share than just baby related content.

 

There will be mentions of my child.

I don’t want to say that my blog will remain a completely child free space, because it absolutely wont. Especially when I am sharing lifestyle posts. There is no denying that my child will be the centre of my world. If I am ever writing about my home, holidays and mental health, there is no doubt that my child will come into the equation. However, I think it will just be a mention here and there. Not full posts about my child and motherhood.

 

My blog will remain a space for me.

Ultimately, my blog will always remain a space for me. A space where I talk about all of the things that I love in life. As mentioned above, there are going to be mentions of my child, but I don’t want to be a mummy blogger. This is still going to be packed with high-end designer reviews, makeup and everything else in between. Just like when I first started this site, I want it to be an extension of me and all of the things that I adore.

 

The schedule may fall apart at the seams.

At the moment, I run this site like a well-oiled machine. I post every 4^th day. However sometimes I will slip an extra one in-between. I don’t think that I have now missed an upload in over 5 years. Something that I am incredibly proud of because it isn’t easy keeping on schedule like I have done. I like to live my life by schedules and plans. However, I am coming to terms that once my baby is here, the chances of me being able to adhere to a schedule will be incredibly slim. I will be here, as and when I am can here. Most importantly, I wont beat myself up if I cant stick to it.

 

It will always be my outlet.

I first started my first site over 15 years ago because I needed an outlet. I wanted a space where I could be creative, honest and share my thoughts. Never in a million years did I think that I would stick at it for as long as I have. This little corner of the internet is my space where I can share my thoughts about everything. I always want this place to remain my creative outlet and I can only hope that I am able to continue visiting this page and creating content.

 

As always, I would love to hear from you guys on this. I do think that my site may change, but I hope that it still stays true to me. I want this this to remain a space which shows all different sides of my personality. That means that I still want to share beauty, fashion, lifestyle and so much more. However, I can see that every now and again there may be the odd motherhood and baby related post thrown in for good measure. I do hope that the changes will be small. But my priority is going to be my baby, myself and my family. I am sure that blogging will fit in somewhere!
