Are You Ready To Start Blogging Mom?

If you’ve thought about blogging but think you just don’t know if you could do it, or don’t know where to start, I’ve got just the thing to help you out. Blogging isn’t rocket science but it can take a little help to get started if you aren’t very techsavy like I was. What helped me was the Blogging Starter Pack by Lynett Chandler. I think she did an awesome job explaining how to set one up on either Blogger or WordPress. The step by step instructions were great. No sense in me reinventing the wheel here so I’ll just show you the review I did on the Blogging Starter Pack and you can decide for yourself. Here it is:

Get to Know Me

Favorite person (outside family)?

Tricia. She keeps me sane and never lets me quit.  She is my morale booster and my shoulder to cry on.

Favorite food?

Mexican, those fattening tortillas - yummy.

Quirks about you?

I’m a fast very soft talker. I have low self-esteem but working on it.

How would the person who loves you most describe you in ten words or less?

Any regrets in life?

That I left something I believe in with all my heart because I allowed a human to upset me.

Favorite Charity/Cause?

Autism awareness and breast cancer awareness because they both have affected my family.

Favorite Blog recently?

Casual Friday Everyday I can relate to so many of the topics Nell discusses.

Something you can’t get enough of?

My family and quality time with them. 

Worst job you’ve ever had?

None.  I’ve always enjoyed the jobs I had that’s why I stayed with them for so long.

What job would you pay NOT to have?

Anything that stinks or has anything to do with gross stuff.  You’ couldn’t get me to do Mike Rowe’s Dirty Jobs. LOL

If you could be a fly on the wall, where?

I wouldn’t want to be a fly someone might decide I need to be squished. Besides, flies land on gross things.

Favorite Bible verse right now?

1 Corinthians 13:4, 7-8

Love is long-suffering and kind.  It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all tings, endures all things.  Love never fails.

Guilty Pleasure?

Taking time for me.

Nope.

SHOES, clothing and some new toys for my digital camera like a zoom lens.

One thing you are bad at?

Being outgoing and confident.

One thing you’re good at?

Being a wife and mom.

If you could change something about your circumstances, what?

What stresses you out?

Lack of money.

What can you not live without?

My family - kids, hubby, mom and dad.

Do you agree or disagree with the recent article that reported that blogs are authored by narcissists?

No, not at all.  Writing is a form of expression and journaling our lives sometimes makes situations clearer for us so I feel it’s more of a type of self-therapy than self involvement or self-love.  Not all blogs are about ourselves.

Why do you blog?

I blog cause it let’s me share little things in my life that make me smile with others.

Okay - rules:
1. Answer the questions
2. Link back to whoever tagged you
3. Tag eight bloggers to do the same, 2 from each category.
