I've struggled to find time for blogging lately. Today, I actually had a little free time, so I dat down with my computer and . . . . . NOTHING! I suppose this is what's called writer's block. I just couldn't think of anything interesting to write about. I follow some blogs where the authors write at least 3-5 times a week. Their posts are always interesting, but for the life of me I can't figure out where they find the time or the topics!
Attempting to remedy my blockage, I browsed through several other mommy-type blogs to see what others were writing about. Then, I did what any reasonable person in this age of technology would do - I searched Google. I typed in "how to find something to blog about." There were a couple things that seemed to be repeated suggested:
1) Re-posting old posts (Just did that here - at least I'm doing something right!)
2) Daily topics - Things such as Wordless Wednesday, Friday week-in-review posts, etc.
3) Answering reader questions/finding out what others want to read about.
So, here is where I combine those last two suggestions: What would you, lovely readers, like to read about? What are some of your favorite posts that I have written? Do you like the daily topics (i.e. same topic every Thursday) or do you find that overdone & boring? Do you have questions you would like me to answer? What do you like or dislike about my blog (be honest, it's o.k.)?
I'd love to hear from you! Seriously. I need some help here! Leave me a comment and help me get past the writer's block! Thanks bunches!!!!!

Oh, I struggle with this problem, too! Especially during the school year when we aren't doing different things and I worry about boring people with another soccer or hockey post! Frankly, I just enjoy reading your writing - I thought this blog post was great! I'm also a fan of the posts featuring your beautiful girls... but my favorite post of yours recently was the one about your poor, skunked dog!
Thanks, Martha! What I love to write most is about my girls and our family happenings. Sometimes, though, it seems there is nothing happening that is really worthy of a blog post. Then I feel like I am grasping at straws trying to pull something out of nothing. Guess I'll just have to wait for something exciting to happen!! (Hopefully no another skunk!) Thanks for your input!
