Decorchick!

Hello, Is This Thing On?

You know when you have grand plans to get back to something you loved, but then years pass by and it never happened?

Uhhhh, yea. That’s me.

I did have plans to start writing again. I loved it. I love having a place where life is documented (and I still search for stuff on my own blog, especially our paint colors!). But, such is life and all that comes with it.

Let me tell you the truth.

When I realized I was failing at writing blog posts, I thought I would just stay active on my social media accounts and do everything over there instead.

But wow. Oh how I have failed there too!! Honestly, I don’t like what social media has become. I have zero desire to be an instagram sensation (I hate the word influencer and roll my eyes anytime someone says it!), and zero desire to make reels, and definitely no desire to document my life all day on stories. That will probably be another post for another day. ;)

Which in turn makes it hard when you run a business because everyone is on social media these days getting all their info. But dang…being on social media all day is HARD and exhausting and can really make you feel inadequate. And it’s just not something I’m willing to do because that would be what I’m teaching our girls. Who will never have social media. :)

That’s not to say I won’t ever post on IG or FB, because I will. It just isn’t going to be my primary focus.

I really just want to talk, in the form of writing. That’s what makes me happy. Trying to be someone I’m not on Instagram for the sake of showing my face is just not for me. I have tried, and I dreaded it every single time I did it. Social media should be fun, not dreadful. Some people have a natural talent at it, but others like me do not. ;)

So that’s what I’m going to do. Start writing again here on the blog. A lot has happened since I last wrote ummm 3 or 4 years ago?! Good stuff, bad stuff, and everything in between. You’ll hear it all.

Gosh, this feels good. To write freely. To not worry about writing for likes or new followers or having the perfect picture. If anything, I’m writing for me again, with you in mind hoping that something I might say may be of interest to you. And if not, that’s cool too. We cool.

And because I can’t write a post with no picture at all, here’s a pic of the fam from Thanksgiving. Everyone’s all grown up since the last time you’ve seen them!

All of the photos that will be on here when I post, will be from my iPhone because I’m definitely not dragging out the real camera and tripod like a professional blogger. :)

Want to know something funny? I had to ask my husband how to login to my blog so I could write this. :)

Talk soon!

~Emily

    So glad that you’re back! I took a bout a 3-4 year blogging hiatus too and I’m trying to get back into it. I couldn’t agree more with what you’ve said about social media. It’s exhausting and I really don’t have any desire to keep up with that rat race. Can’t wait to see what you’re up to! Welcome back!

    Has it really been that long? Wow…..it’s good to have you back. I agree about the craziness of social media. I don’t take part in it either and get the looks when others realize I don’t.

    It is sad that so much time has to be spent on social media. I love blogs and love to see what people write. I am on Pinterest for just me to save things. But I have noticed a trend lately of video posts with HORRID loud music and the camera jerking from place to place. It makes me nauseous and annoys me. I guess that comes with age. LOL I just bypass those and check out the websites like yours. In my opinion if you are on every social media site writing and posting videos or photos, when do you have time to do or make things to show your followers? Are they independently rich and just doing this for a lark and hire others to do all the work for them? LOL Sorry you got me on a pet peeve. Look forward to seeing more from you. I love to see what great ideas others come up with and share it on my Facebook and MeWe groups to possibly help others out that may have the same likes I do. Keep up the great work and you do what is comfortable to you, stand out from the pack and hang in there.

      Ha well I’m glad you still love to read sites too! I’m not a video watcher at all and much prefer to read. :) And social media is a crazy world! And yes some do hire that stuff out. Not speaking for everyone but that does happen. :)

🔑 The secret to growth isn’t what you think i 🔑 The secret to growth isn’t what you think it is.

It’s not about hustling harder or chasing validation.

It’s not about overnight success or quick wins.

Real growth happens when you stay consistent, stay aligned with your purpose, and trust that the right things will fall into place.

✨ “What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.” – Gretchen Rubin

So, what’s the secret to real growth?

It’s showing up for yourself with purpose, trusting the process, and focusing on what truly matters.💕

💬 Let’s focus on growth that lasts. What’s one way you’re embracing growth this season? Share it below. 💛
