I'm pretty sure that most blogs die after the initial honeymoon period.
You start off really excited to chronicle your daily or weekly musings, only to find that life throws a series of obstacles in your way. After a few months of excitement, you get busy. You have to choose between shaving, video games, household chores, or blogging,. From time to time, you question whether you really even need to have a blog at all.
Anyone that is both a blogger and a parent of a toddler will understand that time is a precious commodity, and a blog will often be left by the roadside to make room for your favourite TV shows, fantasy baseball pools, gardening, or personal grooming.
I think that, what I need to remember, is that my blog will ultimately be forgotten by everyone else. This record of my life as a parent will ultimately be a personal memoir. If I don't keep up with blogging, then I will be the only one who loses out.
