Hey y’all! I am back to blogging!
I am officially back at it and feeling ready to take on this blog thing again. The last 2 years I have not felt very inspired. Between a global pandemic, mental health challenges, and the overall fatigue of being a new mom, my priorities were focused elsewhere. I think (actually, I know) so many of us felt this over the last couple of years.
With the fatigue and struggle came introspection, reflection and ultimately a renewed focus. You will see a lot of changes on With Love, Melanie. You can obviously see the new look and feel of the site, but that is just the beginning. This has been a labor of love and reinvention. It is still “my happy place” but it is more than that. I realized that when I went deep, and talked about the hard stuff, I reached such an amazing community.
I will still chat about the light and fluffy, fun stuff too. But, motherhood, overall wellness and our lifestyle will take center stage as I evolve WL, Melanie.
Example, I have 100% realized that I am not a fashion blogger. I like clothes and to style outfits, but it is not my passion. I would much rather talk about my home decor, and amazing recipe, a party I threw or some essential Ella items. Those are all things I love to talk about. I will absolutely mention a sale, an outfit I am loving or stuff I find for Ella, but you will not see a ton of fashion content anymore.
A few other topics I will not shy away from are travel, Indiana guides and some series posts.
One very important thing to note: I will always support and advocate for those who have gone and are going through infertility. It shaped me and helped me learn so many lessons prior to having Ella. I am always here to answer questions and help others dealing with the emotional tolls infertility can bring.
I have missed this but most of all, I have missed all of YOU!
