Recently, it's almost become like a job. That's why I decided to take a break, and now I've come back and Little A has started school, like you, I can't really justify the time on social media. The blog can only be a hobby - I need to start thinking about returning to work in some way *boo*. And my summer was fab!

Blogging breaks are good though! Great to see you back on the blog too!

I only blog twice a month as you know, which is nowhere enough to grow my blog, and I get horribly frustrated that I spend the best part of a day writing a blog only for nobody to read it! At the same time, I'm aware of how it could easily take over if you let it, especially the social media side of things, and I just don't feel I can justify the time. Your summer sounds lovely btw (except for the rogue tooth). In fact, the unseasonably lovely weather means that I'm only just starting to feel that it's actually over.xx Flossing the Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298951261351587626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269818854687226287.post-74355765155817839462014-09-22T10:40:59.983+01:002014-09-22T10:40:59.983+01:00It's hard unhooking from social media, but so ...It's hard unhooking from social media, but so worthwhile, as your wonderful summer proves ( - tooth!)
