A Blogging Break

Hey hey! So sorry for the absence here my friends. Life got the better of me and I have been trying to play catch up. But this post isn't about me announcing that my break is over, this is to let you all know that my break is really just beginning. You may have noticed I have sort of been M.I.A. all over the map including here and it is for good reason. Though I really cannot share with you the storm that has hit my household, I can let you know that once the storm has calmed, I will be back with a better and brighter outlook and will be producing posts again in no time. 

Really, most of why I feel I need this break [just so you all aren't totally hangin'] is I have lost inspiration in creation. My house is out of control and there really isn't any creative space here for me anymore so I feel totally overwhelmed with projects. Until I can find that inspiration and get back in to a creative space, I can't offer you all the posts this blog was intended for. And for quite a few months now, what I have offered has been subpar and that's just not fair to you and it certainly isn't fair to my Sponsors.

Which leads me to my next announcement: I will be putting Sponsorship with Chevron Stitches on hold until I return and get back in to the groove of it all. I not only want to be able to provide you guys with quality posts, but I also want to make sure the people who pay me to hang out on my sidebar are getting the most out of my blog as well and since I have seriously dropped the ball here, I cannot continue to string them along any more. It's just not fair all around. 

I will be heading to San Diego for a little while on the 17th to be with my parents and my family as well as friends. My daughter leaves for her dads on the 25th to Kansas for the summer so I will be able to take some time to put everything back in to place and get back to where I want to be, where I need to be. There are some plans to meet up with a fellow blogger and fellow IG friend while down there so I hope that will get my creative juices flowin' and I can come back with a whole new inspiration of sorts. 

I don't really have a time frame of how long my break will be, I just know that my kids need me and all of me right now and not mommy who sits behind her laptop and cell phone all day long blogging her little heart out. This break also extends to my other blog B.You, and partly in to my personal blog A Fox & A Wolf. I will be pulling back my position at B.You for a while and I hope that it can continue, as it has been quite successful. I'm only pulling back slightly at A Fox & A Wolf, blogging when I feel I want to share something rather than blogging with obligation. If you want to stay updated on my personal life outside of Chevron Stitches, please follow me at A Fox & A Wolf. 

Thank you all for being amazing readers and supporters! I promise I will be back as soon as I can! Love you all! XOXOXO

Call For Guest Bloggers

First, let me give a shout out to Elsie and Emma at A Beautiful Mess for my absolutely fave photo app! If you haven't downloaded it yet, head on over to iTunes and get it! It's called 'A Beautiful Mess'.

Okay, now on to business. I will be out of town in June and taking a bit of a break to fill my Storenvy shop with goodies for you and your bambinos and am looking for guest bloggers. If you read Chevron Stitches, you're used to the content. I am not necessarily looking for the same content as it would be nice to offer my readers something else that I cannnot offer or know a lot about, so I am open to any ideas and suggestions you have. 

If you're interested in being a guest blogger, please email me at chevronstitches [at] gmail [dot] com. 

A Little Bloggy Break

This past week has been very rough for our household and for my daughter in particular. She has been bullied at school all of this year and this past week has been the worst. The school isn't doing anything about it or handling it in a way that corrects the problem and has actually indirectly implied that it is my daughter's problem {are you kidding me??}. Because they refuse to accept that it is bullying and honoring the zero tolerance code in the school handbook I have to protect her myself and do what I can to make sure this is handled and taken care of properly. 

Since this has been emotionally and mentally trying for us and I need to focus on my family right now, I will be taking a small break from blogging here, at B.You and my personal blog A Fox & A Wolf. My thoughts are a thousand miles away from here right now and I want to be able to give you all the best of me; I just can't at the moment. 

I will still be posting on IG and of course giving my sponsors love and the occasional random tweet, so don't fear.. I'm still here. Just focusing on what is most important at the moment. I am currently preparing a whole post on bullying for A Fox & A Wolf so look for that next week! 

Thank you all for your understanding. Lots of prayers and support welcome for Bry; she's better now, but still dealing. I just want her to feel safe and know that people care a great deal for her. Thank you!
