goodbye

As much as I hate to say this, the time has come for me to stop blogging on olive & a so that I can focus on my family and school. It has been a decision I knew I had to make but have been putting it off for a while. I've finally come to terms with it but it still makes me sad. I love blogging as it has allowed me to learn more about myself, feel inspired, and "meet" new people. I hope to be able to blog here again in the future.

I really just want to thank you sweet readers for reading. It's been two and a half years since I started olive & a and I've loved getting to know my readers over that time. I truly appreciate the comments you leave and your nice emails, they all make my day.

If you still want to keep in contact you can always email me, find me pinning away over on pinterest (email me if you want an invite to pinterest), and on facebook as I may post links to things I am loving, sort of like the mashups I do.

I wish you all the best and thanks for reading olive & a!

    Well thanks for you for your inspiring ideas Heath, but I completely understand. I did that with my flying tumblr blog. There are just some things that are more important. Good luck!

    Heather, I am so sad to see you go, but family is very important and I am glad that you will be focusing on that! I hope to see you back here one day or at least popping up once in awhile! Your blog posts will most definitely be missed and you will be too! Take care of those babies (that I don't believe you have, haha)! See you around Pinterest & FB! :)))

    This definitely hits home with me because there have been many times when I wonder if it's worth it and if I need to focus more on my family...I'm proud of you for making this decision to put the most important people in your life first! That is a really hard decision to make...Just know you will be missed her in the blog world, girl!!!

And becoming blogging friends with you over the past few months has been so special to me - thank you for always being so sweet and inspiring with your posts! Family is number one - the most important thing in the world - so that sounds like a good decision. I'm sure your family will love the extra time with you :). You will be missed!!!
