Happy Wednesday! I thought this would be a fun post to share with you all! Today I am talking about all the things I love about BLOGGING!
1. It gives me a space to WRITE.
I have always loved writing, and that is one of the main reasons I started this blog!
2. Connecting with others.
I love going to other blogs, and I so appreciate when you all read here and comment. It's so fun!
The blogs I visit the most are:
Holly- Pink Lady
Joanne- My Slices of Life
Jenn- My Joyful Life
Amy- Coffee and Cocktails at the Casa
Sarah- Sunshine and Books
Kim- Life as Kim
Shay- Mix and Match Mama
Erika- A Little Bit of Everything
3. I love to look back at old posts.
This is probably my favorite! Sometimes after I finish a post, I will just go back through and read old posts. It's so much fun to see what all I have posted about and how things have changed over the years.
4. It's easy to find pictures of random things I need.
For example, the other day my Mimi and I were talking about what Caleb and I had in our flower beds last year. Quick little search on my blog and boom. Found it! Another time I wanted to find a wine I liked. I often need pictures from past trips, events, experiences, etc. And it's easy peasy to find it here!
5. Tip and Tricks
Whether I am reading other blogs, one of you leaves me a helpful comment, or I get to share my own, tips and tricks are everywhere in the blog world!
6. It gets me out of my comfort zone.
Sharing about my life, sharing random things here and there, connecting with other people I don't know....There are times when I go to hit 'publish', and I just can't because of the "what ifs". But, the more I do it, it gets easier!!
7. It's a fun hobby!
I always feel like everyone except me has a fun hobby, but now this is mine!
8. I don't have to talk.
Lol....I am a very quiet person in real life. But, here I get to share all the things without actually talking 😂.
9. It forces me to take more pictures.
I am constantly stuck between taking pictures and just enjoying the moment screen free. But I will often think "oh this might make a good blog post" or "my readers need to see this!". I still try to balance between being on the phone too much and just for a little while. I'm also terrible at remembering to take pictures, so knowing I need them for a post helps!
10. Everyone is kind and uplifting (for the most part!).
I feel like blog world is so much different than social media platforms. People are so quick to say whatever is on their mind in those spaces, but I feel like going "viral" isn't as common over here. Everyone kind of sticks to their own spaces and little communities, so things are more positive because of that. However, I do have at least one person that reads here that seems to comment (anonymously, of course!) exactly what is on their mind 😂.
If you blog, what do you love about it? If you just read them, what do you love about that??
Have a great Wednesday!!
Thanks for the shout out, love! I love this little space as well, for all the same reasons. I've loved to write since I was a very young girl, so I love that it gives me my own little creative space to do with whatever my heart desires. I've been at this for almost twenty years! I love going back and reading as well, and I often get sucked down a rabbit hole when I go searching for something. And the pictures...oh my! I'll never forget my friend Shari giving me the advice of adding pictures to my blog posts to enhance them. I'd never done that before, or at least not consistently, until she suggested that. And now I never have a post without a picture, even if it's one only at the top and bottom of the post.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad we came across each other's blogs! I always love making new friends. I hope you have a great rest of your week! I'll be taking a blog break for the rest of the week, until next Tuesday. Take care, sweet Maddie!
Oh yes, I get sucked down a rabbit hole too with my old posts! It's so fun! I'm so glad we came across each other's blogs as well! Enjoy your break Jenn💕
DeleteBlogging is such an amazing thing! I love the connections that it brings, thank you for the mention. I love all the blogs you listed.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to look back and see what we were up to years ago and see all the photos. In the past I have settled arguments thanks to my blog with my girls saying they can't remember going somewhere or doing something so I show them the blog post. hehehe
I have found the same with everyone being kind and uplifting. It is so nice to have our own space online.
Oh I love that! It really is so nice to have our own little space.
DeleteThe ones you visit the most are also the ones I visit the most. I can't tell you how many times my family and I search for things on my blog just so we can remember WHEN it happened. I love having this time capsule of our lives. I love the community and I have even started meeting a few of them in real life and they are just as sweet and genuine in person!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, YES- a time capsule!! I love that! How cool that you have met blog friends in real life!
