I’m not sure that I’ve ever participated in this before, but every now and then I see one of these posts pop up in my feed from my sweet bloggy friend Beth and today, it hits the spot. I have a few fun sponsored posts in the works, but they’ll require some doing and they’re just not ready for primetime yet. Which leads me to the following question—how long do you spend on a regular blog post? And how long does it take you to work on a sponsored post? Curious if I’m the only one who obsesses about them. I want advertisers to be happy!
On to today’s confessions. Also, I’m not Catholic, so let me know if I’m not doing this right. Anyway, I confess…
That lately my heart hasn’t been in blogging and it’s really, REALLY bumming me out. I love this space. I Love YOU! But it’s just been a lot to keep up with and it makes me feel like a terrible person when weeks go by and I haven’t visited your blogs
That I thought I’d be excited about the fall but I can’t help but feel sad that I didn’t really take advantage of the summer this year. Anyone ever experience summertime sadness? It’s a thing, right? I mean, Lana Del Rey wrote a song about it, so it must be
I’m very nervous about how Milo will behave tomorrow when we bring him to obedience school. I mean, they must deal with disobedient dogs all the time, but he is… kind of unhinged if I’m being honest
That I do not have a green thumb and I’m really sorry about the state of some of my plants. I really want to go to a local nursery to get more, but am I just inviting them home with me to die?
That I want one of those carts everyone’s sharing on Instagram lately, for their crafts/books, etc… but I have no use for it yet. Karen shared hers recently on Instagram, in case you don’t know what I’m talking about and LOOK HOW PRETTY IT IS!!
That I’m very excited about a date night with Bryan this weekend—life has been extraordinarily crazy for us lately, and I feel like we haven’t had much of a chance to connect. Saturday night we’re going to see Social Distortion play with Flogging Molly and I can’t wait to get my boogie on
That sometimes I microwave meals for lunch
Goodwill on my lunch break is incredibly therapeutic. Even if I don’t get anything, I love to wander the aisles for inspiration–also it’s been two weeks since my last Goodwill trip and I’m missing it hardcore
What are some of your humpday confessions? Hope everyone is having a great week!!

It’s funny – that you’d have that confession and I have it too about Astro. It’s like.. it’s obedience school. We’re obviously where we should be! But.. are we the worst of the bunch?? It reminds me of when I get anxiety about going to therapy about my anxiety.. Astro kinda sucks, but he’s also kinda amazing. Same with my anxiety coping.
I fell asleep once at a Flogging Molly concert. What’s wrong with me?
Hey sunshine! I’m glad you got some confessions out in the universe. It feels good sometimes doesn’t it? I understand the blogging burnout. I always get it in the late summer too. I think it’s just a hectic season and somehow it gets better again in the Fall. At least that’s what I’ve always found.
I am so jealous you are seeing Flogging Molly! I heart them so much! And I want one of those Instagram carts too. I keep thinking I could put Ollie’s Legos and craft stuff on it. Maybe. Ha.
Love you my dear! XOXO
You had me at ‘confession’. I love confessions—mostly other people’s. So, don’t expect me to confess anything here. I can only say that I thoroughly related to yours. I don’t actually own a cart, so I’m out on that Instagram trend. I eat peanut butter sandwiches for lunch more often than I should (okay that’s a confession). I think that’s hella worse than micro lunch. Where the heck did summer even go?
As for blogging, you would not believe how long it takes me to write a post. I mean from rough draft to hitting the publish button is quite the process. There is the odd one that flows off the bat, but mostly I put a great deal of time into it. I am feeling exactly the same way about my blog, Charlotte. Sometimes I wonder why I bother…but then I’ll get inspired by something and off I go again.
These posts are always fun to read 🙂
We all go through phases with our blogs – sometimes I have so much to write about and other times I go days without blogging. Your blog is awesome and I love visiting <3
All the best for Milo's obedience school – I'm sure he'll be fine!
My lunches are super lazy – yoghurt and fruit, something a sandwich! I have good intentions but need to do better meal planning.
I always love when Beth does these posts, so how fun you joined in! I hope Milo does okay at obedience school…but I understand crazy dogs! LOL Your concert this weekend sounds like tons of fun. I do like some Social Distortion, so they would be cool to see live. I totally microwave meals…I’m not a cook. LOL

I love walking the aisles at GW too! So therapeutic!
I am with you on your first two points. I’m done feeling guilty or sorry for being a crappy blogger. Life gets in the way and yeah. It is what it is. I wish I had more time in the day, is basically what it boils down to.
God I’m so sad it’s already feeling like fall. Like legit, I’ve got goosebumps every evening now. Wtf?! I do not like winter dammit!
Good luck with the goober at training babes. 😉
Love you! xoxo
Do you see me batch commenting every once in a while? That’s because I can’t keep up with everything as much as I like… but I try 🙂
It’s hard to blog AND read + comment on other people’s blogs, but this is what this is all about and I still love it after all these years!
Sometimes I admit I spend way too much time on a blog posts. I haven’t done any sponsored posts, but I do try to keep a “running draft document” on Google Drive, so I can always write when the inspiration hits.
