Because it is fun! Seriously, I enjoy getting a portion of my life out on something concrete. I also enjoy sharing with others who I am through memes and posts. As a stay-at-home mom I am not as connected to people in the “outside world” as I was when I worked or went to school for elementary education. Blogging is my way of getting back out there and connecting.
I started blogging October 17, 2007, because I had just come back from a family weenie roast in the Chicago area, and I wanted to share the pictures with some friends that didn’t live locally. It has spiraled out of control since then. 
Well, it’s all about my daily life, so anything that happens is fair game. Silly antics from the kids, things I have cooked, something sweet (or irritating) the hubby has done….It’s that and so much more!
Actually, I recently gave some to my friend Jen, when she started Rob, Jen & Three Little Monkeys. I told her to have fun with blogging. Never feel like you have to post, and only post when you want to. Blogging should be fun, and it shouldn’t feel like work.
This might sound silly, but I didn’t at first, because I didn’t realize people actually came back to look at the comments. Now that I realize this, I do chat a bit through the comments. Before I used to just go to their blog and chat with them there, and I still love to do that.
If they love me, they do! I tell everyone about my blog. Well, all my close family and friends anyway, so a good portion of them check in to see what is happening. Especially since I don’t live near a lot of them. The problem I am finding is they never leave me a comment, so I never know when or if they have checked until they drop a post into a conversation.
I blog in my office at home, and I do it any time of day that my kids will give me a break. So, that is usually breakfast time, nap time, and after bedtime. LOL!
I also have a recipe blog titled Recipes from Dawn’s Daily Life. I collect cookbooks and love to try new recipes, so I share quite a few of them here.
Probably in more ways than I even realize right now! I don’t like to be fake on my blog, so when I realize there is something about myself that I don’t want to post, I know changes need to be made in my life.
Oh, there are so many blogs out there, that it is hard not to find encouragement from them, as well as be influenced and challenged. That is why I love ‘Blogville!’
