Hi there, was just wondering if you’d seen my blogging mojo? It seems to have run off on me somewhere between a FYBF post and an IBOT post. It is possible it’s run away with my motivation and commitment and none of them will ever be seen again. Wherever they are, I hope it’s sunny, warm, and they’re sipping mojitos by the beach. Incidentally, I wish I was sipping mojitos by the beach somewhere.
Oh wait, I will be! Next weekend we are going “cabining” (I refuse to call it camping because camping implies tents and I refuse to sleep in a tent) with two other families who have kids Nick’s age, and I just simply can.not.wait. Weather permitting (dear God let the weather be permitting) there will be swimming in the pool, playing and swimming at the beach (a short stroll from the cabins), playing on the playground, BBQing and adult-beverage time once all the kids are tucked safely in bed. I would say “What could possibly go wrong?” but I’d feel like I could be jinxing us.
SourceI wish that we did things like this more often. Maybe after next weekend, we will? Maybe one day I’ll even be convinced we could do it with a tent. Maybe I’ll meet up with my blogging mojo while we’re there, and I’ll be able to share the weekend with you.

I hope that the weather is absolutely fantastic for you all. I am sure that you will have a great time with your friends – it is friends who make the great time time, not so much the weather (although it does help I know !!!)
I have a few posts in my head – I just seem to be battling to find the time to post them now that I am going to bed at a reasonable hour most nights and all this food preparation – it takes forever to get done !
I am sure you will get some great photos while you are away – you always do !
Have the best day – great weather for going swimming if you make it there !

Thanks L! I am hoping for fantastic weather, too. We finally will have 2 nights and a couple of days to just relax and unwind (although judging by my packing list, it’s going to be a massive effort to get to the relaxing part!)
ohhh have the best time – it sounds like fun… mind you i am saying that from the comfort of my home xxx

He he, it will be awesome. It will be the company that will make it, not the weather! We’ll make the most of it no matter what happens (remind me of this if it rains and I’m shitty!)
How funny! I was thinking of writing a very similar Mojo header myself this week. I’ve been hiding out under my rock, lacking the spirit to drag myself to keyboard-town. Glad I came back though – it’s FUN over here! Hope you have fun over there and a good recharge 🙂
Thanks Kim! I’ve been lacking the spirit too. And really have just had nothing much to contribute!
Somehow I think the mojo may just return after the holiday.
I so agree with you on the tent thing – it just should not be done!

I think the mini-holiday will provide lots of blogging fodder, through things that happen and conversations we’ll have. I hope! Maybe that will get the creative juices flowing again. Thanks Bec 🙂
I’ve no doubt you’ll find your mojo when you’ve had some down time. I don’t remember the last time I had a mojito, have a wonderful time xx
I don’t remember the last time I had one either, or what made me think of them, but I seem to have it in my head that that’s what I’m having! Thanks Catherine 🙂
I know how you feel about Mojo, I was looking over my first blog and realised that the last month has just been review posts without any inspiration. I am sure you will find your mojo on holidays! Team #IBOT
Thanks Eleise. I hope so! I think we all go through this lulls.
I’m jealous. Enjoy the break – a break with kids is never a break so hoping the weather is fine so they can leave you alone for a few mins.
Well, we’re taking the dads too, so worst case scenario we can ditch them all for a couple of hours and have some girly time! 🙂
Hoping the mojo returns soon x I’m still waiting for mine to hit, haha. No, I just can’t get into a rhythm but am sure it will happen one day, it can’t be forced. Enjoy your little cabin trip, am with you on the tent thing. I have managed to get out of any tent trips thus far but I know my time is coming soon.
I can’t get into a rhythm either. And I’m starting to wonder (like a lot of bloggers I think) why I bother, to be honest. Maybe a new year will bring a new fresh start! Here’s hoping!
Hey, didn’t you just go on holiday??! I’m so jealous you’re off “cabining”. Sounds awesome! And as for camping and tents…it’s loads of fun! It’s a great way to get a little creative in the romance department too. But what would I know?? Ahems. You’ll get your mojo back, Aroha. You write too well for it to go too far xxx
Busted! We DID just go on holiday! And we booked this about 3 months ago so that we had something to look forward to in our post-holiday blues. I am so excited! We’ve never been away with other families before so this will be great! Thanks for your kind words Grace x
I don’t do tents either 😉 Enjoy your break away and I hope it helps coax back your blogging mojo from wherever it’s hiding!
Thanks Kirsty. Maybe I’ll find it in the bottom of the Bacardi bottle? 😉
If you do, I won’t judge you!!!! As long as you get it back, it shouldn’t matter where it was hidden or where you found it!
I think your mojo and my mojo are in co-hoots. They are hanging out in a bar somewhere trying to pick up. Hope you have a wonderful time away with your family and friends.
ha ha! well if you catch up with them before I do, can you drag them BOTH back?! ta! 😉 Thanks, I’m sure we will!
Yay I cannot wait!!!
I can’t either! I’ve got a list a mile long of things to get ready tomorrow, then I work 6-1 Friday and then picking Nick up and hitting the road! See you there!
I think you Mojo is waiting at the cabin! Have a great time!
he he! I hope it is! At least I’ll have something to blog about when we’re home!
I’m sure your blogging mojo is out cabbinning already and waiting for you.
I have no choice about camping, because Boatman loves it. I have to love it too. And it actually does grow on you 🙂
I actually don’t think I would hate camping THAT MUCH – we used to go as kids. How bad can it be?! 😉 Plus, let’s not even start talking about how much more AFFORDABLE it is!
Drink mojitos until you find your mojo. That always works for me. Rachel x

ha ha Rachel! I like your style. I’ll do my best to give it a go!
I lost mine a few weeks ago, I just get too busy and sometimes life throws such difficult issues it’s easier to step back. Step back honey, rejuvenate, read others’ blogs for a little while, take a breath and wait. Don’t pressure yourself, inspiration will come. Oh, and have a monitor for me too x
i will definitely have one for you! and you’re right, just need to give myself some time/space and it will come back! thank you x
Have a brilliant one hon!!
And don’t forget the camera… I find it aids the mojo. 😉

From the comments it sounds like many are looking for their lost mojo, myself included. I guess there’s always a reason but it’s different for everyone. I’ve psychoanalised it somewhat to conclude mine’s hiding partly due to lack of enough inspiration, lack of direction/focus, and too much pressure on myself. I hope you find yours soon. Enjoy “glamping”. Hubby would never go for tents either so I get it. 😜
