I think I’ve written this post about a million times in my head. And I wish I was exaggerating but there isn’t really much else to do when you are getting up every 2 hours with a baby
I seriously thought that having a baby was going to be a lot easier than it is. The past 6 months have been pretty difficult and I would be lying if I said my confidence wasn’t taking a shit kicking.
I look back to when I started my blog (2 1/2 years ago!!) and so much has changed. I don’t even feel like my About Me page was written by me! I feel like my life is going in a different direction (I’m growin’ up!) and I really want my blog to be able to reflect that. I want to tell you all about Jett and the things that work for us and the things that don’t. I want to share all the food I’ve been making…except I don’t really cook anymore, Andrew does. I want to write about all the other things that are going on in my life right now and I don’t really know if Veggie Monster is the place for me to do that. I don’t want to stop blogging but my blog isn’t really inspiring me anymore.
So I guess what I am saying is…goodbye? For now? I’ll let you know if I start blogging again or if anything else changes. It is so bittersweet writing this post. Veggie Monster has been such a big part of my life for the past 2 1/2 years but I’m happy to be moving on

Two and a half years ago I cringed when learning you were going to blog. Firstly, I didn’t know exactly what a blog was or the work it entailed and secondly, when I did discover what it was, I thought it was going to be just one more instance of this younger generation bastardizing the English language – only this was going to hit much closer to home and the chance I was going to feel embarrassed for you, and of course, me (mostly), was very real. And the whole world was going to know!
It was with great trepidation that I peeked into your first blog, finger on the Esc button, ready to bolt at the first feeling of disapproval. Two and a half years later, I continue to be embarrassed – not for the reasons stated above but for my complete lack of knowing and understanding you and your knowledge and commitment to both your choice of topics and the blog itself. I have learned much about everything, and more importantly, about you.
During the last two and a half years, you have grown from a cautious yet competent source of veggie knowledge while blogging to the world, to the great mom Jett is so fortunate to have. A father can only hope to have a daughter like you. Just ask me, I do!!

Aw, hey Paije
I completely understand – life changes, our focus and just life in general can take on a new turn. Anyways, I’ve enjoyed reading your blog, and be sure to let me know when/if you decide to blog again so I can follow along
Be well!
