Interview with Charlin from “Busy Mom Soapbox”
“Busy Mom Soapbox”
I use blogging to stay in touch with family and friends that are not in our area. They can keep in touch with us at their own pace. I also enjoy blogging because I use it as my own little journal on the things I enjoy.
I normally blog about my crazy life with the family. I also enjoy cooking and trying new recipes. When they are a hit, I post them on my blog to share with others and try to inspire creativity in the kitchen.
I blog in my office where I can get away from the chaos if I need to. Most of the time the door is open and kids are running around or doing projects while I type away!
I do have to be honest. I spend about 2 hours of my day or more reading and writing blogs. It’s fun to read about people’s lives, and learning new things to get me inspired to do more. After reading some of my favorite blogs, it’s sparked me love for photography. So I am slowly getting back into taking pictures and creating fun stuff with digital scrapbooking.
My friend from years ago, started to blog when she moved thousands of miles away from friends and family. It was her way to connect to loved ones.
There is a family website that just launched and we are excited about it. It’s got hundreds of items for baby gifts, baby shower favors, decorations, articles on how to host showers.
Baby Gifts and Baby Showers
For myself, I have learned a lot of new things. Looking back at my blog archives, it’s helped me to focus on getting more organized, encouraging others to make a house a home. I think I’ve influenced myself and others to try new recipes to explore. Hopefully I have also influenced them on the FREE deals that are around to save money for them and their family.
