I started this blog as a way to share new recipes, talk about running, and connect to a community that I had been a reader of for so long. I actually can’t believe I’ve been blogging for so long (since 2010!) because when I start something, I rarely follow through with it.
I love blogging, but I think I need a break. Between working, going to school, and generally trying to be a productive member of society, writing this blog started to feel like a chore. I always wanted it to feel fun and be something that I wanted to do, and not feel obligated to do.
So, I’m taking a break until I feel like blogging again. Hell, even if I DO feel like blogging soon, I should really be catching up on homework (or… let’s be honest… my DVR), so I may be back over the summer.
Thanks to everyone that read my blog for so long- see you in a few months 
Enjoy your break. I had to take a break, too, and still can’t decide if I’m ready to pick it back up again.
Have a fun/productive break! I’ll definitely miss reading this, but oh my, do I understand needing a break!
Oh I agree enjoy your break. I look forward to reading your posts again when you come back!!
I did the same thing while I was in school… it just got to be too much! Take the time you need for you, my friend! xo
See you back in the summer then! Enjoy the time off to the fullest
I know how you feel! Some days I don’t have time for really important stuff, let along blogging. Taking a break will be good but don’t stay away too long!
real life is always more important than blogging! enjoy your break
Enjoy your break
I think there’s something in the air, because I’ve been feeling the same way!
I hope the break helps you with finding a better balance! I’ll miss your blog very much, but I’d much rather that it did not become a chore for you to write.
Hope to ‘see’ you soon <3

Enjoy your break love! Also good luck with school, enjoying life and also (just as importantly) catching up with the DVR! ;D Make sure you come back soon!!
Yeah I took about a month off and it felt good! I like blogging but I just don’t have the time to make it interesting these days. Hopefully I can blog more over the spring and summer. And hopefully you will come back too!
Good luck with everything!

I totally understand – but I’m gonna miss your posts and recipes and running chatter!! You’re in my google reader and I’ll be right back to read along when you’re back in action. I hope you enjoy the time off!!
I agree, there’s no point blogging when it becomes a chore… have a lovely break and we’ll still read if you come back!
That’s a good decision. Every body needs a break every now and then. Enjoy real life!
Well done lady! Putting yourself first is so, so important. Have a wonderful breakt!
I take blog breaks all the time- sometimes it is necessary! I hope all is going well
Just stopping by to say hi!! Hope all is going well and you are enjoying the blogging break =)
