I love the social aspect, the fact that I captured my kids' memories, and I'm proud of what I produce because it's an expression of ME. I recently started trying to grow my blog and it's so much work!

I was surprised that just being a blogger gave me the opportunity to start freelancing for a local mom's in-print magazine. <br /><br /><br /><br />The worst?

I just got a comment from you on mine :) I like how you said that what you are writing is for your daughters, not only so they can read about themselves but also so they know what your experience was like as their mother. It's so true. I hear stories of my mom's experience when we were young and I want to know MORE.Jeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4109556486849297351.post-17241490209960948522013-07-27T09:34:22.278-04:002013-07-27T09:34:22.278-04:00So true!

That's a good point about having people who connect with the blog without officially following.

Even when I was younger, it made me crazy when team sports photos were printed in the newspaper with everyone's name - it's fine to list them, but not in a way that identifies each kid WITH their name. To me, that was like a directory for pedophiles!

So, yes I can very much relate to that and tell you there are days where I love it and days whee I hate it. I think we all do have our moments and thank you for sharing that it isn't just me.
