So ... this is goodbye.
Multiple reasons, including:
... I was starting to feel pressurised to post here, even when I wasn't inspired to do so. And that's no way to feel about one's own blog right?
... this blog was a fantastic outlet for me, to inspire myself and share the fun, while doing some heavy primary parenting of my two small girls. Now they're getting more independent, I'm starting to do more and more 'real' work, my me-time is starting to get more precious.
... I'd like to spend what writing time I do have (ha!), writing for print.
I'm actively trying to lessen the digital 'noise' in my life. I'm unsubscribing from blogs and newsletters, switching off Twitter (I'll never give up Pinterest though!), and generally trying to quieten my life.
While it simultaneously gets busier.
Does this make sense?
Anyhoo, thanks SO MUCH for all your loveliness here in the last few years. I've had such sweet comments and interactions, and not one single troll!
People are lovely, you are lovely and life, generally, is lovely!
I'm going to leave the blog up and open for a while, but will eventually shut it down completely. If you'd like to know if and when I write in other places, send me a mail [ cisforcapetown at gmail dot com] and I'll keep you posted.
Thank you, and goodnight!
Living and parenting on the edge. Of Africa.
