Bare with me as I explain some of my thoughts this week (and this is not in anyway supposed to offend anyone, and if I have, too bad-
JK!)
I have often thought, as many of you have, "what is it about blogging?" Some of us think, dream breath and even ignore our kids over blogs. And out of a married pair it is most often the female that takes over and runs the family blog. And some of us even skip calling it a family blog and come right out and use it for ourselves to share our deepest thoughts and feelings. I would have to admit that my research is somewhat biased- considering most of my friends are married and stay home with their kids. I have come to conclude that this is
what blogs are REALLY for:1. Feeling like we are connecting with someone at our own level at some point in our
busy laundry,
throw up, cleaning up filled lives.
2. Making us feel like our lives
REALLY are exciting enough for us to post on a website and for others to want to read. ( I mean really, my life only looks exciting on my blog!)
3. To show off our amazingly cut kids- notice I rarely post a picture of myself, and if I do it is with great consideration.
4. Gives us a good reason to take lots of pictures and to share those funny and silly moments with someone besides ourselves and with an audience that also might see the funny side of things.
5. It is also a great way to get great advice, feedback and love from others (love we might not always feel from our never ending needy children- in the most wonderful way!)
And after all the reading and viewing we do of others' blogs- we end up wishing our lives were as exciting and busy as the next! To tell you the truth, I don't even think Connor reads half the things I post on
OUR family blog. However, it has increased our ability to reconnect with lost friends and EVEN family, and to keep up on each others' lives. I just wanted to share with you all that-I LOVE YOU ALL!!!andI LOVE READING YOUR BLOGS!!!They truly help me get through some hard days!
