Blogging has been so scary for me. I really didn't even know what a blog was until a friend introduced me to this really cool mommy blog. I was in awww... of her and so inspired. This started an obsession of blog surfing. I loved finding new reads and hated the feeling of jealousy. Most mommy blogs seem to have it altogether, I guess KEY word is seems!!! I became a blog stalker, hiding behind my little silhouette picture. Several times I thought I had the nerve to start my own, even creating one and chickening out.
WHY am I so sacred? Ive always been the kinda of girl who cared what people thought about me, afraid of saying the wrong thing, even wearing the wrong thing, as I've gotten older, Ive became a little less insecure and once Landon joined our little world a little less. Crazy I know , Its a habit I'm working on breaking!
I'm not the best writer and Lord knows that I was NEVER the spelling bee champ, I seem to love run on sentence, and exclamation points are my best friend!!! I just really wanted away to chronicle my life as a wife, mother,daughter and friend. What better way then blogging?? I can do this, I have nothing to lose and soo many new friends to gain!!
So far this as been pretty fun! I love having new followers and finding new blogs to follow. But just as my warring says this blog is far from perfect, I'm improving an all my new readers are giving me encouragement to continue. WOOHOOOO this is exciting!!!! Thanks everyone!!!!
blogging is fun... and I hope you keep at it!
ReplyDeleteI have come to the conclusion that all mom bloggers fake it when it comes to how put together everything seems. at least thats what I tell myself so I dont get depressed and drown my sorrows in a pan of brownies. As long as you blog for yourself and your family thats what matters. Dont get caught up in the "blog business" unless you really want to. Sometimes I feel like my blog is just this little nothing thing and I want to make it HUGE but I cant I am just not that person so I have to buck up and move on. I love your blog, keep it up- the way that makes you happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) ;) I love them too
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to this feeling of being a new blogger & putting yourself out there! I didnt even tell anyone except my husband and 1 friend for a whole month. And even then, I wasnt sure about keeping it going but then I realized I had followers who were tweeting my posts!
ReplyDeleteI felt so exposed and weird about it for awhile but that made me go outside my comfort zone and I set a goal to share my blog with 1 new person a week. It was definitely a personal growth experience for me. Its been 1o months for me now and I am having a blast! I'm really glad I started! I'm glad you started cuz now I found you! yay!
Anyhow, I'm now following you through the Boost My Blog Friday Blog Hop! I hope you'll do the same! You can find me @ http://sofiasideas.com/

I could totally relate....once you get used to it, you'll become obsessed with writing for just you and even revealing things you would have never thought about revealing...lol! it's great...even though the hubs don't think so!:) enjoy the week
ReplyDeleteHi Heather! Thanks for the comment today and I'm following your right back. Blogging can be scary because you're pretty much throwing yourself out there for anyone to read. I think you're a great writer just from these posts! Goodluck and I look forward to what's to come on here!!

blogging is great and it's a lovely way to feel that validation so many of us crave in our real lives!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the bloggy world!! I love it! sometimes I don't blog every day, but sometimes I just get on a kick and am really efficient at it. I've really enjoyed the people I've met, the things I've gotten to be a part of, and just the fun! Anyway, I'm glad to find you through Katie's blog hop. Stop by mine and check it out, hang out for awhile, and stop by on Sunday to take part in my own blog hop. I just started it so i'm spreading the word!
ReplyDeleteGo with your heart! Your blog looks great - LOVE the family pic :)
ReplyDeleteKeep putting your thoughts out there because NONE of us have it all together, and we learn from the experiences of others. That's why we need our great big, wonderful God each and every step of the way!
God Bless you in your journey!
Debbie (btw, I love those !!!!!marks and lots of CAPS too :)
I started out blogging the same way.
ReplyDeleteStick with it, girl. You are doing great!
I'll be following! ;)
Happy holidays!
