NaBloPoMo Day 15: In over my head?

This whole post a blog a day thing has been kind of a challenge.  I obviously haven't been posting lengthy, prolific essays and have been mainly posting a few pics of what the family has been up to, but even doing that has its limits.

Today, for example, we didn't do much that was noteworthy.  After a fun morning of meeting friends for coffee and going to open gym, a weekly event at the place where the Cub has his swim class (they also have a gymnastics area) where kids can run like mad for an hour, we went home and relaxed until this virus that's been plaguing our house hit me even harder.  I tried to nap with the babe but it didn't quite work.

I struggle with deciding what direction to take this blog in, and challenges like this remind me of that struggle.  I began the blog as an educational resource for breastfeeding, while adding personal anecdotes along the way.  But that got to be feeling too stiff for me, so I shut it down for a bit while I reassessed what I wanted to say.  I think a strictly personal blog works for me, though I can't help but add what I feel is important to me regarding parenting.

I'm hoping to hire a designer to make this blog look cute, and I will most likely change the name to fit what direction I decide to go in.  Taking this NaBloPoMo challenge was partly a way to force me into getting back into posting, even on days like today when I feel like I have nothing to say.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll have something fun to post about our day, though with this virus I may just end up posting pics of me and the babe cuddling in bed ;)
