Spring Cleaning my blog life

Well technically it is Autumn over here in Australia and winter is definitely settling in!!

So I decided I need to spring clean my life!!! I am slowly going through all the blogs I have on my google reader - I did do this at the beginning of the year but now I have lots of other things on the go I cant seem to keep up!! In 2 days it says over 1000 to read and I am just pooped!!

So I am going to go through my followers and the people who reply to my posts (yes I have started a new folder in my emails for them) and make sure I have them on my list and delete the ones who arent. I know I have sent some sort of comment to each and everyone of them. Yes I realise people have lives and cant comment on all comments they receive and I truly understand theat (I have been a bit lax in that department myself) but I am going to be selfish and just stick to those who show me support and kindness :) I have heaps of people who do that so I am still going to have plenty to read but I will have more time to reply to those who I know.

Life is changing so rapidly for me at the moment - lots of added "things" have been added to the plate - most are my own choosing and others not but I have to put myself first for a change.

Please acept my apologies if I havent been to comment on your blog for awhile - I try to honestly and will strive to get more done. I am honoured to have such wonderful friends (followers and reader friends) and I want you to know I appreciate you all.

Have a wonderful day and I will get around soon I promise :)

Hugs Heather

Hiya Heather
Hope you are well. Think I need a spring clean too!!
I am so far behind with blogging that I had over 100 comments to return...
I got my candy from Greg today and they are gorgeous.

1. Yes I like your new banner.
2. Never worry about us - at least not me. I always read what you post as I find it interesting, inspiring and sometimes funny.
3. I think you are a wonderfully warm-hearted person and I have great respect for what you do.
4. Even though I have not made a purchase through Incy Wincy, I still like what it stands for.
5. May you have unbelieveable success and
6. May the Good Lord smile down upon you.

'Hugs,

Hey you have to do what's good for you. Personally, I have 85 blogs I subscribe to. (I didn't realize it was that many) It is REALLY hard to keep up so sometimes I comment, sometimes I don't. I too go through my reader and cut a few now and then, but it's tough. I just kind of wish that the people I read would only post say - twice a week and then maybe I would have a better chance of staying current. :)

But again, by all means Heather - don't kill yourself by trying to be everything to everyone. It's just not possible. ENJOY your blog and visit others when you can. :)

Good luck with your spring cleaning. I also get a lot of blog updates daily and it is so difficult to keep up with all of them.

Hi Heather

Totally know where you are coming from, I'm struggling to have a good blog hop just once a week lately. But I'm sure and hope everyone understands that there is more to life then just blogging, and life has to come first.

Love your new header.

Enjoy your weekend.
