The Humbled Homemaker: Musing Monday: Time to Simplify & Too Many E-mails?!

Image by bjearwicke

You know I'm humbled, right? Well, I've learned something in the past few weeks about myself. I'm not only a humbled homemaker, but I'm also a very humbled blogger.

I'm still very new at this, and I'm learning a ton every day. Although I've been writing for newspapers for years, I've found blogging to be a whole.new.ballgame.

And it's a ton of work!

Last week, I announced that I was going to extend the breastfeeding series...indefinitely. I thought it would be well-received, but I realize now doing so was really limiting my readers...and leaving a lot of readers out.

I hate leaving people out. So, I've been praying and thinking through things this week.

And I'm going back to my original plan. I'll end the breastfeeding series in a few weeks and move on to "starting solids" in the fall.

I'll just focus on new mommies via First Year Fridays.

What to Expect

After much prayer and consideration, here is what to expect from The Humbled Homemaker in weeks to come:

Musing Mondays: a reflective post on something the Lord has taught me or convicted me about homemaking in the past week

Wednesday Series: A different series each Wednesday of the month:

Reminiscent Recipes -a recipe with a memory
Healthy Homemakers -health tips
Homemade Homemaking -cooking from scratch
Parenting on a Penny -frugal tips

First Year Fridays: This is for those with babies! Once the breastfeeding mini series wraps up, I'll post on:

starting solids (with at least 3 giveaways!)
cloth diapering
babywearing
sleep schedules
discipline
and more!

As my children and the children of my readership grow, I will move on to the toddler years, etc. I am open to your suggestions!

Weekend Specials

I probably won't post every weekend, but I will occasionally re-post a guest post or column I've written for another publication, review and/or giveaways and perhaps even some short series (like the upcoming WAHM series!).
