Hey all! Gingi here.
So I have been just a liiiiiiiittle quiet for, uhhhh, about half a year now?! Yikes! (For someone obsessed with cranking out a minimum of 3 blog posts a week, that is just all kinds of crazy sauce right there!)
Anyway, I didn’t intend to just drop off the planet, but a combination of insanely intense pregnancy fatigue – yes, you heard that right, I am expecting baby #3! – and focusing on building up my wedding photography business – check me out at Gingi Freeman Photography – made quitting the blog cold turkey for a short season a must.
But here’s the deal… I plan on returning! SOON. Not now. But soon. And I think I might just take my blog a slightly different direction.
See, when I started this blog, I started it as a means of keeping myself sane while my husband was in Navy boot camp. It was a place for me to dump my thoughts, dreams, project and random geekery. Now, since this is my third and LAST baby, I am DETERMINED to get my pre-pregnancy body back once I pop this little guy out. (Yes, it’s a boy!!)
And one of the best ways for me to be accountable is to broadcast my plans, goals, progress, research and so on in a public place.. a place like… MY BLOG!!!
So 2018 is going to be the year of “get it togetherness”. I am going to focus primarily on:
-
Diet and Food
-
Beauty and Self-Care
-
Wellness and Natural Living
-
Fashion and Lifestyle
So my home improvement and family posts are going to take a bit of a backseat while I focus on reclaiming my body, my sanity, my sense of style and my… self? It sounds so selfish as I type it out, but really, it is the BEST TOOL I can give myself in staying on track and pursuing my goals! (Someone please say they understand, lol)
My current timeline looks a little something like this:
-
Have little Rowan Thomas Freeman around Halloween
-
Enjoy a guilt free Thanksgiving and Christmas season filled with sugary things I shouldn’t be eating
-
Launch the New Year with a classic, “Starting on January 1” resolution of working on ME!
Waiting for your return 🙂 Also yay for baby boy! All the best!

I will try not to spam my blog with newborn photos.. but no promises! hehe! <3
I missed ya Gingi! I’ve been following you on Facebook and Instagram and I’m happy you are back 🙂 Super excited about baby number 3. As soon as I found out you were pregnant I figured your time was running thin. I hear pregnancy fatigue is no joke. Good luck on your wedding photography business, I know you will hit it out of the park. Yay! I look forward to checking out the new focus, I love all things diet, food, beauty, self-care, and fashion. Be selfish! You deserve it.
Yeah, I was tired with the girls, but this pregnancy has been no joke.. pretty much EVERYTHING… housework, hobbies, work… I feel super behind on or gave up all together! But I am getting some energy back (just in time for little one #3 to make his arrival, haha)..
So glad to hear from you! Congrats on the baby! How exciting! I can’t wait for your comeback! <3
Me tooooo!!! <3
It’s not selfish. It’s actually way more important than I realized. When I didn’t take care of myself, and kept ignoring my own care, I ended up sick and with a rare heart problem. So yes, you rock that plan. Healthy is better than skinny too. I’ll be happy to cheer you on and join you in your efforts!
April, you are the BEST!!!! I am already ordering my fitness plan supplies… new (and better!) scale, new Fitbit, so on and so on…. gonna rock this health and wellness journey!!
A huge congrats to you, girl! I remember you mentioning to me that you were expecting around the time you first found out, but you didn’t yet announce it here, so I was always hinting at you when I trying to know how you were doing! I’m so happy for you, girl, and I look forward to when you officially return and all the amazing content I know you’ll share; your plans sound so interesting and inspiring!
XO,
Jalisa

omg, you have noooo idea!!! <3
my babe is nearly 4 months old and i’m only now starting to have some time to do things! good luck to you!
Hahaha, that is my fear.. I am giving myself a 2 month buffer to get my act together, but of course that 2 months falls over the holidays!! eek!
Nice to hear from you again after such a long time. Glad to hear you weren’t abducted by aliens or anything.
…..or was I??? *shifty eyes*
Welcome back and to the 3 kid club. It’s a lot of hard, fun work! And just like you, I have 2 girls followed by my boy a few weeks ago. I wish you lived a little closer so I could hire you for some family shots!!!!!
I know!!! If we lived closer I am fairly positive we would be BFFs in real life….
OK, Pregnancy? That excuse works! Pregnancy can take alot out of a person though it is for a good reason! It will be good to see you back on the scene and congrats on kid #3!
