I feel like I am being the worst bloggy friend ever.
I use to pride myself on replying to ALL comments via email (IF the comment came from a cool blogger, being cool means you have your email enabled).
I use to also follow everyone who commented on my blog back to their blogs to leave a little reciprocal comment love.
I Confess...
I use to spend sooooo much time doing this. I would give up sleep, housework, whatever to get it all in.
I Confess...
I really enjoy the friendship and connection with my fellow bloggers.
Lots of you have become my real life friends and I cannot imagone my world without you in it.
So I am feeling the guilt.
I Confess...
I have a hard time finding balance when it comes to blogging.
I LOVE blogging....100% because of the friendships I have made.
I Confess...
I feel like y'all have been so wonderful and supportive, I really appreciate that.
I have LOVED watching your children grow and celebrating milestones with you.
I adore you for sharing yourselves.
I Confess...
I am going to really TRY to get back to the blogging I love and get better about email replies and comment reciprocation.
Because I love you, yes YOU.
Can you forgive me?

Of course forgiveness is abundant!! I think we ALLL go through this especially those of us who have been at it awhile. The guilt is real...oh yes...but so is the understanding.
balance is something we all try to get there are days i'm on top of the game and get everything done other days i feel i'm spinning my wheel and getting no where. hope you are able to find that balance you want xoxo
Yes, totally forgive you! I'm new to all this, but already feel the pressure of balancing blogging with the rest of my life...
We can only do what we can, and try to leave the rest (guilt included) in the past.
We so love you too!!! You brought us all together...bloggy matchmaker!
I have made some great friendships because of you! I feel so guilty too about the commenting and blogging. It's so hard to keep up with I think we can all relate!
You are doing excellent and you also have a life! So I get it! Love reading your blog love your comments Love you!!
Of course we forgive you! Life happens, and sometimes blogging tends to fall by the wayside, but it is totally understandable. It happens to everyone. When I am super busy and can't get to everyone's blog I don't let it get to me - there is always tomorrow.
If you do figure out how to balance everything, let me know! Haha :D
It could be worse, you could be like me & hardly read blogs all Summer & when you do hardly have the time to comment or even worse then that pretty much never blog on your own blog ALL Summer. See... You are fantastic in comparison!!! :)
There's nothing to forgive here. You have to take care of sleep, housework, whatever. Blogging is a lot of fun, but it can't come before your families and everyday lives. We love when you can spend some time connecting with us, but you have to take care of you first.
That said, it doesn't mean we don't miss you. =)
Forgiven! I've been struggling with the same issues lately.
Well I've been doing the same thing so if you can forgive me than I can forgive you. LOL :)
Don't beat yourself up about it. Most of us bloggers can totally relate and understand. It gets sooooo hard balancing blogging and real life-and it can be so frustrating not being superwoman who can take it all in stride.
I get it. I love ya anyway!
Hey! It's my first time visiting and joining your Friday Confessional. I've been an awful blogger and bloggy friend lately too. Makes me a little sad, because I really do love reading everyone's posts. Hopefully we'll both get better!
We forgive you. I go through seasons where I'm great at responding to comments and then I suck a it.
I'm a fan of prioritizing real life over blogging. It's noble to try and comment on everyone's blogs, but if you're visiting more than 5 blogs per day, that's a lot of sacrificing things for the sake of commenting. I love you, but please don't sacrifice sleep to comment on my blog! :)
Life happens but sleep needs to happen!!! No more missing sleep for blogging young lady!
My blogging & reciprocating goes in spurts. I do my best to keep up, but I'm not superwoman!
Just do what you gotta do!
