sometimes i wonder what this blog is all about. who is it for? why do i blog? i started blogging just to talk, i guess. i like to talk about my family ... and how we spend our days. occasionally i do a review and sometimes a giveaway, but that's really not the purpose of my blog. i think, sometimes, bloggers can get distracted by giveaways. i know i can. i can get caught up with the potential of the free things and the prospect of followers, however, when i take a step back, i realize i want real readers. i spend nap time at least every other day catching up on the blogs that i read regularly. i don't always comment, but i'm trying to get better about commenting. i love reading other parent's blogs. i love learning about their parenting styles and their kids. i truly, truly love it.
i guess my point in all of this is that, while i'll continue to have giveaways here and there (and i do have a few currently lined up, so don't worry!) , the reason for my blog may seem to shift. i think that's okay. each day i learn a little bit more about being a mama, being a wife, being a friend, and being myself. and that's what's most important. being myself.
so if you're still interested in reading along, i'd love to hear from you ... i'd love to know why you read the blogs you read and how they keep you interested. in the meantime, if you're looking for more to read, check out my favorites in the sidebar.
