Baby vs Blogging

Hi, my lovelies!

I bet you've all forgotten about me by now. I mean, let's face it, I've kind of fallen off the face of the planet when it comes to blogging regularly.
I've noticed my views plummeting and it's really made me upset that I haven't been able to put more effort into what I love. But since becoming a Mummy, it's sooooo much harder than I thought it would be.

Scout is brilliant. He's fourteen weeks old today and I hope to get our three month postpartum update done this week. (I've said that for the past two weeks.) Thankfully as he's getting bigger, I'm finding more time in the day to do little, and I mean little, bits around the house. I no longer have to hold or nurse him for what seems like every hour of the day; and the washing up is finally done when it should be.
That being said, I do not have time to write during the day. Unfortunately, he's not yet napping in his cot, and this means that I can't to my desk to do so. He also has some kind of super power in which he wakes up the second I can pick up my laptop.

I'm currently trying really hard to find a blog/baby balance, but I'm finding it extremely hard. Liam works during the week and we don't live near any family or friends who could watch Scout for a while. My free time is either ridiculously early in the morning, before Scout wakes up. I'm talking five am, a time I cannot seem to get myself out of bed at, or in the evening after he's gone down.
Now, here's my issue.
Because I have both the blog and my two youtube channels, I have to decided what I can get done and when. For the past few weeks youtube has kind of taken that time. I find filming a video and editing takes far less time than taking photos, cropping and sorting through them, and writing a blog post.

I'm thinking I may drop one of my three weekly videos down to two at some point in the near future, but I'm really hoping I can sort out some kind of schedule so I don't have to do that.
I really do hope that I can get back to the WFF blog on a more regular basis. I have so many ideas for posts, and I just want to share them with you.

If you're ready this and are yourself a blogging/youtubing parent who has very little time, please do let me know what your magic secret is. I miss it so much and if I'm honest, I'm getting a little jealous seeing so many peoples blogs grow, yet mine is just festering in it's old posts.
