Our little munchkin butt was about 23 weeks in these pictures. She is growing so much and I already feel so much bigger than last week (or maybe it's my pregnancy's crazy imagination...)

I wrote a post awhile back regarding being "unplugged" and I frequently venture back to it to remind myself to escape from all that social media nonsense.

How many times do you walk into a store, restaurant, work, etc. and see people constantly on their phones?

 As a part-time blogger, I have become one of those people (shamefully admitting this) and I want to cut that sh*t out. I am sick of being so "in tune" with everything happening on social media and not taking in the beauty of every day. Instead of waking up on twitter and instagram - I want to wake up with a cup of coffee and a book on my deck and enjoy to sunrise. Instead of writing blog post after blog post, I want to enjoy a dinner with friends. 

It can all become too much too fast. I will never become a full time blogger that can attend every party or dinner or lunch date. I have a full time job that requires 100% of my attention at every second....most importantly i love it. How many people can say that about their careers?!

All of this is easier said than done because I really do love blogging and keeping up with everything that is happening in the "blogging world", but with a lil babe coming in and a life to live- something has to give. Of course, I will still be around - just much less.

I need to breathe the fresh air. The air that isn't polluted with social media jargon.
