“Organized Homemaking Days”

http://multicultural-cuisine.blogspot.com/

Even though I have a website, my blog is a bit more human about what frustrations, or new things I may have going. It is a bit anonymous as I am a foster mother. I do not post our pictures or actual names. World is too small.

I’ve been blogging about a year and a half.

My blogging is varied. Since I’m a stay at home mom I could blog about cleaning my bathtub…actually I think I have. But yeah that’s the kind of stuff. Discovering new ways to keep my toddler active, new things I’ve found online. My favorite workout videos. I like participating in the memes because believe it or not they can really help you stay focused with home organization. Menu planning, tackling something big, a craft project, etc. I don’t participate in many memes though because that can get distracting.

5 Minutes For Moms has a bit of everything and connects many of us. I also find about what’s happening in the blogosphere from here.
Organizing Junkie: She’s a woman after my own heart with the whole organizing thing. I can get caught up here though so I have to keep it brief.
Valley Girl:Valleygirl keeps me laughing and thinking. Inbetween these hilarious posts of her life up north we get snippets that make us think more of our walk with God.
W8NG4Him: I really find Shereen to be a great inspiration also. A homeschooling mother of 4 she gives her family her all and it shows. Great tips on homeschooling and homemaking too. If read nothing else for a week I usually try and stop by Shereen’s blog.

It’s important to know why you’re blogging. In the beginning I just jumped in because everyone said you should. I personally don’t know if that’s true. I saw the women who had their blogs as their websites and I got confused. I started the blog and I dropped off for a while. But now I blog just to add more personal tidbits that don’t have a place on my Homemaking Organized.

If you’re doing a blog as an add-on to your site then keep it that way. A view into the life behind the work.

If your blog is all personal then keep it that way also. I just recently took my blog of the pages of Homemaking Organized. You can find references to it here and there but really they are separate entities.

Yes I do and sometimes i can get too chatty. If you have a question please ask.

A few do.

http://www.momsofgrace.com and just recently. Truly as a work at home mom I have little enough time for the work so the blog and then forums come last.

I blog on my laptop in the late hours of the night, and the wee hours of the morning.

Very little. On the days I do blog probably about 30 minutes. So maybe about 2 hours a week.

Nope. I like finding them by word of mouth.

Goodness! I don’t know. Probably from my sister. She’s always in the know. And she keeps me up to date.

Now that I cannot tell you. I probably didn’t even realize it was a blog.

Other people, books, family. My sister really inspires me. We get together and I have to get a notebook to jot down all the great tips and ideas she gives me. My mom does too. We’re all pretty close.
