“Measuring Flower”

I blog because I have a degree in writing, I love to write, and I equally as much love to be able to stay at home with my son.

Technically May 2010, but not seriously until October 2010.

Everything mom, from recipes and saving ideas, to product reviews and what cute things my son did that day.

Do blog hops! I wish I had know about them when I started, but alas I had no clue. It is a great way to meet new friends in your genre as well as increase your following and help others’ followings as well.

Yes! I love comments and when time allows, I try to always respond. I love to hear what others think or have to say.

Yes, my parents, my husband’s family, and many of my friends do. My blogging even inspired my sister-in-law to start a blog of her own.

During the afternoon when time allows and my husband is at work. I blog at home. I try not to do it on the weekend or in the evenings when my husband is home; that way we can maximize our time together.

Probably about 5 hours a day Monday-Friday.

I occasionally use Technorati. Ordinarily, though, I find new blogs via blog hops.

Gosh, I don’t have any idea. In my mind, it just has always existed.

I can’t remember, but the blog that inspired me to start blogging was Kevin and Amanda.

God, my husband, and my son. It also helps when my readers appreciate my efforts.

I have TheBloggerBug.com where I share tidbits now and again of designing tricks and tips that I had discovered or stumbled upon. It is purely a just-for-fun blog and I rarely post on it.

It has brought a ton of fun into my life! I never knew about doing product reviews or giveaways through blogging until I got started in it. Now I love it! I love being able to help others by sharing impacting things that I have learned. In addition, my writing and typing speed has improved!
