Why did you start your own blog?
I started my blog as a way of venting, moaning, expressing myself, or whatever you'd like to call it. Its a way of telling someone how your day has been, or how you experienced something, or just to have a good old moan or gurn as I call it.
For me, its a way to chill myself out so when my husband does get home from work, I don't talk his head off as I haven't talked to another adult all day. So this blog is like having a conversation and expressing myself. That sounds a little sad of me but it makes me feel better!
Sometimes it can make you feel a little lonely and isolated when you are a stay at home mum. Especially as we have only lived on the coast for seven months and are always on the move, almost every 12 months, its sometimes hard to make friends. Slowly, but surely I'm starting to make friends but this blog helps me get things off my chest as though I would be talking to a life long friend.
Does your blog make you feel more sane? Or am I on my own here?

Hi Jo,
ReplyDeleteI started my blog for the same sort of reason....to vent, express my thoughts, and share my joys and woes of parenthood. It sometimes hard being a SAHM, I find that I don't have the same sort of friends or work colleagues (if you're not working) like I did when I was working. When working, I used to be able to have a good chat with my 'desk buddy', but now it's down to writing a blog or updating my 'status' on Facebook :-)
Hey Julie!
ReplyDeleteThose are the exact same reasons why I blog. I feel so much happier now I've discovered blogging. There was a stage where I didn't know what was wrong with me, I felt a little down and depressed some days, I even thought that I had PND. I so know now that I just needed a little mummy vent.
Thank you for commenting on my blog, I know now I'm not on my own and someone is actually reading my vents! Haha!
Jo
I started my blog as a way of doing something for me. I am a SAHM and while I love it, like you said it can kind of be lonely.
ReplyDeleteMy blog has become a great way to engage in conversation and meet others and also an enjoyable way of sharing my life, thoughts etc with people too.
