Why Blog?

Why Blog?

 

Why do I blog?

 

Well, for a couple of reasons. First of all I blog for myself and my family mostly. I don't blog for money, fame or to be published.

 

Yes, I blog mostly about happy things. Who wants to read a negative blog? And why spend the time complaining when I could be focusing on the positive. My blog is to document what happens in our lives, exciting news, fun new things, and just whatever I want to blog about. :)

 

I am real on my blog. This is my life. I don't sugar coat things...I do have a wonderful life and I am very aware how blessed I am. I use the word "blessed" a lot...but I don't take that word lightly...I am VERY blessed. I know many people who don't have, want or are trying to have and be things they aren't. I am happy with where I am in my life. Yes, of course I would love to make more money, or stay at home, or drive a different car...I'm human. But I don't choose to complain or always talk about what I want on my blog.

 

I don't blog to get a million followers...I'm very happy when I have 10-20 people read a post. But what makes me happier is documenting my life and keeping a journal for my family.

 

It can be so easy to compare yourself to other people and their blogs....but is that their real life? I can get overwhelmed with all the cute things moms do with their children, and all the cute things they sew for their houses, or all the elaborate meals they cook their husbands. I try to only read blogs that are realistic...yes, there are a few blog like Hostess with the Mostess that are so fun to look at to get ideas for the many showers and parties that I throw.

But I can't be hard on myself about what I'm not doing. I have to look at the things I am doing and the time I'm able to spend with my family.

 

I know my blog may not be the most entertaining but I truly blog for my family. I just recently made a part of my blog into a book and it give me so much joy to look at that book in my house and know that all the time I spent blogging is not documented forever for TJH to read back on.

 

So with all of that being said...thank you so my sweet readers and thank you for all the comments and emails that I do receive. I do like having feedback.

 

But I will continue to blog about what my family does, what makes me happy each week and tons of videos and pictures of my son. :)
