“The Entertaining House”

http://doodlebuglounge.blogspot.com

I love to write and did so quite often before I had kids. I love being able to share (and rant about!) my life as a mother and a wife. I know many people relate to what I have to say. Blogging is an expressive and creative outlet for me. I love it and am totally addicted!

I have been blogging for about 9 or 10 months.

I usually blog about the kids — but I do blog about myself as a mother and a person… it helps me to sort out all the different aspects of my life. It keeps me real and it keeps me grounded. Most importantly it helps me maintain my sense of humor.

There are many I enjoy!

Dive in head first! It is a lot of fun so easy to do and 100% addictiing!

I respond to their comments yes… but I don’t chat with my visitors — I never thought of doing so! Many of my readers will email me and comment on a particular post.

Yes, I have a great many friends who are across the country and overseas… my family reads as well.

I am a member of the iVillage September Sprites Playgroup and pop in there frequently.

I blog from this laptop… here at the desk when the baby naps, or up in my bed at night or at the crack of dawn…

depends on what I need to do in terms of activities for the kids and commitments. If I could I would spend much more time blogging!

no… I will look into that!

to tell you the truth I am not sure!

Gosh… I don’t remember… Oh yes, a blog titled Because I said So… I remember thinking this mother had a lot in common with me. She was funny… but no funnier than me so why don’t I just give this blogging thing a try!

My children inspire me often. But so do some of the most simple and mundane things about life. When you sit down to look at it, or write about it nothing at all is mundane and nothing is truly what it seems.

I have a cooking blog. It’s pretty lame at the moment as I am preoccupied with moving and the craziness surounded by that.

Blogging has been a wonderful creative outlet for me. I love to write and I love to photograph. I love to share my stories. Blogging has helped me realize that I am more than a mother. I would like to go back to work again in the next couple of years. I want to earn money of course, but I want to find something that will define who I am as a person, not a mother, not a wife… a person. I am an incredibly creative person by nature and blogging has given me an outlet to do so… I have needed this outlet for a long time!
