I've never declared a blog vacation. But! This week I'm gonna do it! I'm taking a week off from blogging and I'm not even allowing myself to pre-schedule posts. Because even that is work and I think a brain break is a good idea.
If you just can't STAND a week away from me (ha!ha!ha!) you can check out what I've been talking about at 5 Minutes for Books if you don't normally do so. Two of my "fun finds" of late have been the following (click on the links to see my review):
We Were Here First: Baby Blues comics! (I've been re-indulging in comics of late. It's fun. Don't judge. ha!)
My Quotable Kid - an AWESOME way to keep a record of all the hilarious things your kids say. Or that mine say. (I LOVE the toddler years!)Then, just a fun Christian fiction read that I enjoyed:
Genoa Bay, by Bette Nordberg
There. That should hold you over at least a little while! =D In the meantime, I hope you all have an AWESOME week and a delightful Memorial Day celebration! See you back here after then!
Have a good week! I wish I had that quotable kids book when mine were small -- or I wish that I had thought to joy down some of the things they said. You think you'll always remember.....sigh....
ReplyDeleteHave a great vacation!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Carrie!
ReplyDeleteI'll soon be going on a baby-imposed bloggy break! :-)
Have a great week off!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I just took the weekend off from blogging, and it was so refreshing. Have a great week, and I'll look forward to your return. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time off!
ReplyDeleteI used to keep a journal when my son was young because he said the funniest things. I'm so glad I did that because I have a terrible memory and never would have remembered it all. He's 16 now, and every once in a while I'll read the journal and remind him of funny things he said or did. He's 16 now and the things he says now aren't so funny. (Ugh, teenagers)
ReplyDeleteI love that Baby Blues cartoon and read it in the paper every day! It cracks me up.
Have a great break. We all need that every so often.
I miss you but I am being consoled by my Carrie induced Free Amazon gift card from Emma Parker and Co!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU!
Ooh, glad you're taking a break! Wait, that comes off wrong. I'll miss your blog. But I'm glad that you're *enjoying* a break. There, that's better.
ReplyDeleteI know you are having a great time on your break!! I'm still a little bitter that you are so close and we couldn't make a meet-up work. One day... :) Can't wait to hear about all the fun!
ReplyDeleteHey, it was great meeting you at BEA this week! I took the week off too because there was no way I was going to be able to post while at BEA. I hope you have a nice restful week :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, all, for the well-wishes. I think a week off was exactly what was needed to kind of refocus things a bit for myself.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to be back though. ;)
