I’m Getting That Feeling Again. Makes Me Itchy.

Author: Elizabeth

Friends, it’s happening again. I’m getting that feeling. That feeling that attaches itself and won’t let go.  You know the one I mean. The one that says something just isn’t quite right. Something needs to be fixed, or changed, or added, or taken away.  It’s going to bug me and bug me until I figure out what “it” is.

One thing I’m not going to do is change my blog theme, I can promise you that. Adam at IZEA worked way too hard on it. I just feel like I need to do something different with this blog. Make it…better, somehow, or something.

Like I said, it’s a very itchy kind of feeling. Like the kind that starts right between your shoulder blades and you can’t quite reach it. Except in my head.

Weird, I know.

I used to have this awesome “100 Things About Me” page, my long-time readers might remember. I had to take it off during a redesign and I thought I saved it to My Documents, but now I can’t find it.  So now I have to write a new one only I don’t know what to say in it! Anything in particular you want to know?

I’m also thinking very seriously about shutting down my food blog MomCooks and posting recipes here instead. I mean, it makes sense, this is a blog about parenting, and cooking is part of being a parent, right?  I’ve been going back and forth about it so nothing’s for sure yet, just something I’m contemplating.

Another itch in my head, you might say.

So yeah, that’s what’s going on with me.  I just want this blog to be the best it can be! 

These two yahoos love me no matter what my blog looks like :)

    You always have to listen to your gut (or in this case an itch). It’s great that your instincts are so strong that you know change is needed.

    I think consolidating your Food blog into this one is a great idea, will keep things easy to find for your readers and the cross-over will likely result in cross-promotion.

    Good Luck!

    A recipe here would be great! I love 100 Things posts-Just write it! I don’t know what specifically to ask for…just stuff.

    See you soon!

    I throw recipes (among everything else!) on my blog. If the recipes you try suck though, I want a heads up to not repeat, that’s all I’m sayin…

    Would consolidating down to 1-2 blogs make things quicker/easier for you as well? Just make sure to tag/label everything so you can come back to find it later, and call it good. Hell, I have seed starting, canning, dehydrating, cooking, house stuff, kids, pregnancies, garden, and on and on in my schitzo blog.

    Lanna-(I saw on your blog that you added “rhymes with banana”-ha! I’ve been saying it right in my head all along!)

    I usually don’t post recipes that don’t turn out. Since I rarely attempt anything difficult, it doesn’t happen that often anyway. I’m more the “find a recipe on KraftFoods.com or in a Betty Crocker cookbook and make it” type of cook anyway.

    And p.s. after reading your blog I WANT SOME STRAWBERRIES!

    Boy I know that feeling! Usually mine is “I’m getting bored and I need to start a brand new HUGE project.” But I know it well. I never know where that feeling will take me, but it’s always an adventure. Always.
