So. . .I have thought of quite a few subjects to write about here on my blog. But I have no time. And I'm having writers block.
And after I work all week, I want to just focus on my baby!
Sigh. . . I remember when I started this blog, I worked at the Blue Kangaroo, where I had lots of extra free hours to read. That's why I named my blog what I did -- "Gretchen Reads 24/7" -- because I did feel like I read that often. Since I had Susie, I started feeling like I was falling asleep every time I got into a book! (Okay, that's an exaggeration -- I have read this summer, just NOTHING compared to how much I have read in the past).
I've been thinking about what all I can scale back on now that I am full time Mom and full time at the bookstore. I am committed to taking care of Josh and Sus as good as I can in the time I have in the evenings and weekend. And I have not been doing a good job writing this blog for a couple months now.
So. . . I think I need to take a hiatus from the blog. I hope I don't have to give it up forever. Susie and I are enjoying some children's books together, and I'd love to write about those in down the line. But for now, I'm going to take a break from the blogosphere. I know there aren't a ton of readers out there waiting to see what I'm going to write about, but for those of you who have faithfully been reading, I am sorry.
But I know it's a good decision -- more time with Suslie. And who knows? Maybe I'll think of something I absolutely have to write about, and I'll do so.
So long, for now!

I check in on your blog from time to time and will miss reading what you have to say. I hope you enjoy that sweet baby! The time goes by too quickly. Blessings on you and your family!

I'll miss you but I know what you're talking about...read my post today!!!!
Enjoy your little family, Gretchen. They are a blessing!!
I'll really miss you, Gretchen. A lot. I hope to hear from you again someday... Love, Brenna
I totally understand. Had to do the same myself. There simply isn't enough time in our days to devote to all the things we love--at least in this season of life--so we devote ourselves to the ones we love most and trust God to give us wisdom in discerning the priorities.
Treasure your time with Susie. It goes by so fast, which I know all too well. Mine are 20 and 15! Take care and I'll check in on the blog from time to time.
I understand completely, but will miss your wise writings. I with Amber, I will check in from time to time, also. Hope to see you in Illinois soon. Blessings.
Gretchen, I applaud your wisdom. This is such a precious season. But I will miss your writing!
Blessings,
Jodi
