For the past few days my site has been down. It was quite the annoying ordeal, but a self inflicted annoying ordeal while working on the back end server stuff and making an incorrect move with backing up and a bunch of hosting stuff. In other words, mistakes were made. As I spent more hours than I would like on the phone with tech support, I started telling myself (out of frustration) that if I couldn’t get it fixed, I’d just walk away. No more blogging. I hadn’t been regular with it or even very inspired to sit at my computer and bust out a post lately.
But then when I though everything was lost, I got really sad. I instantly missed blogging. I missed sharing and connecting and being inspired by the wonderful blogging world. I have so many memories and moments stored on here. My life with Jacob. My life as a mother. My journey becoming a fitness instructor. So much of my life is documented and saved on this little itty bitty space on the internet. I’ve been connected here for almost 6 years and leaving just doesn’t seem right or even what I want.
After those few moments had passed where I was ready to let go, I was instantly re-inspired. Re-inspired to share and connect with the blogging world, but also to keep my memories here. I want to share more life. Life is pretty grand and I just love sharing about it. God has blessed me with an amazing husband, two wonderful children and so many opportunities to pursue my passions.
Fit Mama Real Food just keeps changing with my life. It used to be all about food and fitness. Now there is so much more going on. Food and fitness are still passions in my heart and they will be here, but I foresee more life capturing as well. I hope you’ll all continue to follow along!
With all this mumble jumble website mess up all of the posts since April went missing so I’ll be reposting them… which means if you get email subscriptions you may see them a second time around (I will try to put ‘repost’ in the title so show it’s nothing brand new)- sorry about that! The look of Fit Mama Real Food is being updated since that was all lost too. Lastly, I’m pretty sure most email subscriptions have been lost as well, so if you want to resubscribe you can do that below.
And while I’m at it, here it is for following on Blogloving as well.
It was nice taking a little blogging break, realizing what I was missing and then now returning ready to share once again. All this blog mess up stuff was a blessing in disguise. 🙂
There are still many hours of clean up needed, but if you see anything wonky on a page, links that don’t work or anything that just looks off, please let me know!
If you blog, tell me, why do you keep blogging? What’s the focus of your blog? Has it evolved and changed with you?
So glad to be back and have a live website again!

It’s so disappointing that so much of your hard work is gone, but I’m glad that you plan to keep blogging. Your blog is one of my favorites. I love your variety of posts.
sometimes all it takes is a disconnect to reconnect, yes?
Exactly, just what I needed!
Aw 🙁 So glad you got things up and working! I am actually deleting my blog as of November 7. It just got to be too much to try to keep it going!
Yeah it sure is a lot of work. I will miss you blogging but I’m always so happy when I see your comments and kind words, and of course when I get to see your pics on IG.
I’m so glad you’re sticking around! Yours is one of my favorite blogs because it has maintained a genuine tone over the years. Keep it up! And post the recipe for that yummy curry from insta last night! 😉
Thank you Holly! And yes I will be sure to share – very easy dinner too!
