writer's block.

so i've fallen off the blogging wagon in a big way OBVIOUSLY. i mean, it slumped after Amelia, but came back again, then after William i just never fully got back in the swing of things. and now, right before baby Z3 is born, of course I'm feeling like I want to get back to it because the timing couldn't be better (where is that sarcasm font when you need it?).i'm starting to force Amelia to take quiet times most afternoons now, mostly because one of us won't survive if she doesn't, so i have some time to get things done whether it's work or cleaning or administrative tasks or blogging. in fact, she is currently fighting the nap she so desperately needs in her bedroom at my in-laws while i sit outside the door so she doesn't come out for an hour (normally i wouldn't fight it for an hour especially when i have unpacking to do, but there was yelling and angry pillow throwing on her part so i'm standing my ground because apparently i still have some pride). my problem is this: i now have the time but i seem to have forgotten how to write any type of blog posts that aren't baby+pregnancy updates or coffee dates. like, what did i even used to write about?okay so i just went back through my posts and apparently i used to write about the following:

• monthly goals
• current happenings
• parenting tips+tricks
• thoughtful essays
• recipes
• homemaking

so apparently i had just a whole mess of things in my brain to write about!maybe my brain just doesn't have the capacity for extra thoughts anymore? maybe that's a luxury that i just don't have the space for in my current life? but i feel like if i just exercise the muscle a little bit, maybe i could make space for it. because i actually am really organized in my life right now, i'm accomplishing the things i need to everyday, i'm planning a little further ahead for things if i need to. so i could plan out blog posts if i could just think about what i want to write about.so can you guys help me?what were your favorite posts i used to write (ugh, so depressing that i have to write "used to")? did you like recipes? life lately posts? favorites or products i'm loving posts? i don't even know if i'm qualified to write advice posts anymore, because the longer i'm a mom, the more i realize that no one has it figured out and everyone has something different that works for them. please tell me what you would like to see me write about again, that might be the kick in the pants i need to get my bootie in gear.thanks for any advice you have for me. you're the best. and here's a cute photo of my kids to end this mostly pointless and overly dramatic blog existence post.
