I look forward to the holiday season every single year because it forces me to slow down (after the stress of decorating, baking, shopping and wrapping is done of course). But once Christmas is actually here, it’s a wonderful time to spend with the family and just ENJOY life. Christmas week is a vacation of sorts for my family even if we don’t leave the house because we are taking some well deserved time together.
Basically, this means I am taking the rest of this week off from the blog (and part of next week) to do just that – spend some quality time with my family. I call it my blogcation and will return later next week excited to share some reflections of 2011, ringing in the New Year with you!
Until then, you know I’m never far – just an email or tweet away. And if you’re a blogger, I highly encourage you to take a blogcation or a mini-blogcation for yourself…Trust me, some time away will curb blog burnout and may even inspire you to return to your blog with tons of new ideas as well as some brand new energy. As a blogger with some experience, a little blogcation is good for the soul!
So from my home to yours…
Wishing you a safe and wonderful holiday!!!

Oh man…do I ever need a blogcation! Being at Disney last week threw me…and the power outages before that…I swear I just haven’t quite recovered from the time I’ve lost. I plan on taking a break until the holidays are over…will probably get one more post up this week and then just chill out with the fam for a bit!
Have a very Merry Christmas, Heather!

Thanks Jackie, you too mama!!
The holidays and the few days I get away from work is actually my only time to blog. I’m actually looking forward to having some time to write, just as other people are taking breaks away from writing.

Hey sweet mama, have to play catch up, never mind take time off … but I will, I will!
A sparkly gift wrapped box of blogcation sounds perfect.
Enjoy yours – what a year you have had, sit back and bask in your success and enjoy your family.
Much love, now and always.

Happy Holidays and enjoy your blogcation!
I actually have nearly two weeks off from work, part of which will be toddler-free while she enjoys a vacation with her Nonnie and Pop. So, for the first time in…well, forever really, I’ll actually have time TO blog! While I’m planning to relax, work on some home projects, and enjoy a few dates with my husband, I also kind of feel like I shouldn’t squander this gift from the blogging gods.

Happy Holidays Heather! We think alike….my post tomorrow is about me taking a break for the rest of the week and most of next. It’s a stressful time of the year as it is, so taking a break def. helps. Enjoy your family and holidays! Talk to you soon. XOXO
