This will be the final entry on rockstarmommy dot com.

After much deliberation, I've come to the decision to end the blog and all that comes with it. It's a decision that has been long in the making and, quite frankly, long overdue. I thought maybe revamping the site would change my mind, but it's only reassured me that I'm 100% making the right decision. A once light-hearted hobby has turned into a chore that sucks up every last ounce of my free (and sometimes not-so-free) time, leaving my family competing with the internet for my attention and me not living REAL life and all the things I've always said I wanted to do with it. Some people are able to find the real life/internet balance. I've tried many times and have failed each and every one of them. My family is waiting for me and I'm not going to waste away our lives on this machine anymore. Other Rockstar Mommies will come and they will go, just like they have since I've started this site, but they will not be me. I'm off to live my real life to the best of my ability and enjoy my family and kids while I've got them. It's been quite the experience, Internet. And just remember, we'll always have Paris.

Au revoir.


PS of the Who Am I, Barbara Streisand? Variety:


Thank you ALL for the laughs and support over the years and for saying goodbye. I'm surprised that some of you are surprised by this - it's been something I've been pondering for quite a while. I've tried weening myself and have consistently gotten sucked back in. It's time to go cold turkey, all at once, and rip off the bandaid. I'm not going to shrivel up in a ball and die. This site has been holding me back for quite a while. Change is hard, but it's good, too. It's not only time for me to focus on my family and my son's health, but it's time for new adventures. I've taken this one as far as I can. It's been a learning experience and I've made a lot of great friends. Thank you all for sharing this phase of my life with me. I hope you're around for the next, too, whatever it may be. But I assure you, it won't be this. I've grown up and changed way too much to come back to this. And so I am happily departing. I'll see you all around. Enjoy your lives and take of yourselves and your families. There's nothing more important. :)
