Nonetheless, I&#8217;m sharing one now and I would love your thoughts and input on how I&#8217;ve been doing, what you want more of, and even your ideas for future posts. If you wouldn&#8217;t mind, could you please take a few minutes to answer <a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s\/JXGYSB8\">my short 10 question survey<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a bit behind with sharing and you may have noticed an absence here over the past few days. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with posting and I wanted a breather. I could feel a burnout coming on and knew I needed to take a step back to just hang out with my family and be lazy. That&#8217;s the beauty of working for yourself. Though I do miss this community very much. However, bringing high quality content to you is something I take seriously. I spend hours and sometimes days or weeks preparing some of my posts. I love what I do, so it rarely feels like work to me, but (and we all knew there was a <em>but<\/em> coming!) without having some posts scheduled ahead of time or an editorial calendar for me to stick to, it&#8217;s very hard for me to keep up; which in turn ends up being a source of stress in my life.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I&#8217;ve decided to take a small week-long break. I&#8217;ll be spending the next several days preparing fabulous new content, reading your survey responses, and creating an exciting editorial calendar filled with new content! Please stick around and be patient. I&#8217;ll be back shortly, I promise. I love blogging entirely too much to stay away for too long. And as usual, I&#8217;ll be active via social media, so be sure to follow me on your favorite platform.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/2015\/01\/reader-survey\/\">A Reader Survey &amp; A Small Announcement<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/\">Our Holly Days<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Source:: <a href=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/2015\/01\/reader-survey\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"A Reader Survey &amp; A Small Announcement\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Holly Sosa I realize I probably should have shared a reader survey before the beginning of a new year, but with all five of our kiddos here over their break from school, a lot got away from me.
