Vacation is Over - Back to Work!

After working so hard for two straight months on developing my blog and learning everything I needed to know for future success, I took a break. A very long break.
My son was 10 months old and taking over everything! He not only mastered the art of crawling, but developed a curiosity for climbing and walking. He is quite exhausting! Not to mention, we were planning our first big road trip at the end of the month and all my "free time" was spent packing, preparing and cleaning. It's safe to say I only "plugged in" to my blog about 3 times in the month of July.
Unacceptable.

Although I did receive a monthly paycheck from WA, I knew the only way to continue receiving the pay would be to keep working. When you work hard early on and develop a strong foundation for your blog to steadily produce revenue, then those "month vacations" won't kill you. But I am not quite there yet. I have a LONG way to go.
As I think about all the work I need to do, I get discouraged. I was on such a good routine before and then life happened. I could beat myself up about not sticking to the plan and getting lazy, but I am a mom. I work 24/7. Its hard work and I was naïve to think it would get easier. I have major respect for all mom bloggers out there! We never stop working! But what I really need right now is motivation. I need something to drive me towards success.
This blog started out as a hobby, that I learned could be profitable. Wealthy Affiliate has provided me with all the tools I need to make it a success, but I have to actually use the tools to make anything happen.
So this is me, getting back into my toolbox and working again....
