It’s no secret that I don’t blog here as often as I used to. It’s due mostly to time and changing interests since creating my first veg blog in 2007. Also, when I originally conceived the new direction of this blog after marrying hubby, I imagined more banter between us in the kitchen, and therefore, more blog fodder. But, to be honest, hubby happily eats any vegetarian or vegan meal I make even though he’s a die-hard meat lover. I’ve struggled with presenting interesting content here when, often, our meals are pretty basic and repetitive. All of this has left me feeling rather uninspired and searching for relevance in the great big sea of food blogs.
I created a Facebook fan page for I Married an Omnivore! as a way to keep in touch with you between blogs. Lately, I’ve been using the page to share content with you in lieu of writing a blog. I feel like I’m still connecting and sharing, but in a way that’s more manageable with my schedule. It’s made me much happier on a personal level. Yet, not updating this blog on a regular basis is a weight on my shoulders… a burden I’d like to address.
I’m not ready to give up blogging… yet. Although I love the ease of posting on the I Married an Omnivore! Facebook page, I want a home base for my original content… but I’d like to simplify. I’ve been mulling a switch to Tumblr. I love WordPress and advocate its use all the time, but the more I see of Tumblr, the more it looks like it could be a good fit for me at this time.
I wanted to give you a “heads up” on the switch. Don’t panic if you come back here and things look totally different! I have some time off coming up soon, so the changes may come within the next week or so. I haven’t decided if I will try to convert the entire blog into Tumblr in one swoop or start fresh while sprinkling in older content among the new. Decisions, decisions!
UPDATE: 2/26/12… I don’t have any plans at this time to convert this site to a Tumblr site as suggested above. Everything is staying as is, for now. Thanks everyone for your kind words! I appreciate the support!
Well, thanks for making the site – it’s worth the effort because I just found the site and can’t wait to go through it all! People are finding this anew every day so while you don’t need to feel bad not having updated it lately (it didn’t bother me at all) I really would encourage you to keep it online
I’ve been a vegetarian for half a decade, but I’m in a serious relationship with a serious omnivore. I won’t eat meat and won’t prepare meat for her – but won’t tell her not to eat it when we’re out or whatever. Obviously if we both got vegetarian meals we could have more fun trading or I could help her finish her portions…but so far we’re making it work. I can’t wait to see your blog posts but more important;y – your perspective
I just found your blog too. Please don’t delete it! I have to try all of your slow cooker recipes!
