Should I Revise My Blog

By 2 Comments

You would think that I had this all figured out by now.  I have been blogging for about 2-3 years and I’m still asking myself the same questions.  This must mean that I didn’t answer those questions, right?!  I’ve been wondering what are the boundaries that I will not cross when it comes to blogging?  What is my purpose in blogging?  Is this something that I want to pursue personally or professionally?

After thinking about some of this, I have come to the realization that the reason why I am not able to move forward in my blog is because I am also a bit stagnate in life.  Mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, there are things that I must do to move forward.  I have been very hesitant to do those things.

I want my blog to accurately reflect who I am, but I haven’t been willing to be transparent about some aspects of myself.  Now, I am not talking about my family or my relationships, but myself.  Ultimately this blog is about me.  It’s about my adventure as a mother, not about my kids, friends, family, or anything else.  In many ways I have separated different aspects of what I like to do and who I am and moved them away from this blog.  I thought that my readers would not want to read about my cooking or crafting projects.  I thought that it should be separated because this is a “mom blog.”  I really enjoy crafting and blogging, but I wasn’t sure how the two would fit together without driving my readers away.

Well, it’s time to find out.  I will begin to take some new steps to improve my blog in a way that truly reflects who I am as a mother, wife, and woman.  Bear with me, I am no expert…

Me and my baby boy

Late last night, Ice Man did not want to go to bed. He did everything in his power to stay awake. Even down to the last minute request for a glass of milk.  I sat with him for a while, but since my eyes were beginning to burn…it was time for my little guy to go to sleep. Once he was in his bed all i heard was snoring.  I love my little guy.

Weekend Rush

By 15 Comments

Wow!  Talk about a busy weekend.  We moved so fast it was like I blinked and the weekend was over.  It is already 1:45am, Monday morning and I didn’t get to do any of the “blog” work that I wanted to do.

There are some videos that I want to post and some stories that I have been collecting to blog about, but I am realizing that I am really going to have to work out my time schedule when it comes to this, or else I won’t be blogging at all…and I really want to blog.

One thing I did do this weekend was sit down and write out all of my responsibilities and the goals.  I will now have to take the time to place them on the calendar.

My kids had a very busy weekend.  It may seem weird, but I can’t really remember what we did.  It all seems like a blur.  All I know is that we were busy.  I mean there were times where we were able to just sit down and do nothing, but when I look back on it, for some reason, it feels like I didn’t have any time to sit down. Honestly, I know why I feel that way.  It’s because I’ve been chasing after my 4 year old and my 2 year old all weekend.  And by chasing, I mean two different types of chasing.  The first type is where the pointer finger is out and my eyebrows are squinted up, and my neighbors can hear me out side saying “don’t do that or that’s not nice.”  The other chasing is where my neighbors hear and see me chasing after my kids playing tag.  Either way it goes, my neighbors hear me, and they want to come and hang out.  At least that’s the way I see it.  Why do I see it that way, you ask?  Well, my neighbors on both sides have small children like I do.  And we all know how it is when someone is around with small children playing outside.  We are thinking “HUH…it is possible that they could all play really nice together.”  But what is it that stops us from going outside to let our kids play with the neighbors kids and talking to the nice mommy? I think its the fear of not wanting to bug the neighbor.  I think we are just gonna have to get over it, a little…well, a lot.  How are we ever going to make friends if we don’t get out there and talk?

Speaking of getting out there and meeting other people.  In the next coming week, April thru April 8th, 5 Minutes For Mom will be hosting the annual Blog Party.  This is my first blog party and I am very excited.  I believe I joined the blog community just in time for all of the festivities.  How awesome is that?!  I get to stay in my home with my kids and meet other moms around the world who are probably doing and saying the same thing that I am doing and saying to my kids.  I am really excited.  The only thing is, I have to go to the website and find out how it all works.

Ok, back to the posts that I was supposed to be making this past week.  I have a question answer session that I will be posting.  There is a very heartfelt story about a 9 yr search going on in my area that I plan on writing about.  There are a couple of videos that I want to write about and I want to tell you all about my other blogs.  You know, I was supposed to be using this page to talk about the kids and the Me page to discuss what has been going on with me, but I think it will be ok.  I’ll just categorize it.

You know, I am wondering how often I should plan on blogging.  I was planning on doing it everyday, but that hasn’t worked out very well.  So, I am thinking about once or twice a week.  I wonder what works for other mom bloggers…What shall I do?

Leave you comments below, please. Say something to me, so that I know you are reading.  Oh and be nice, I am new to blogging.  Follow me on Twitter or friend me on Facebook and if you are a blogging Mommy, I hope to see you soon at the Blog Party…

Until next time…God Bless You!
