Why do you blog?

ervin412@gmail.com

I LOVE reading everyone's blogs on here. It gives me a sense of normalcy in this crazy life I have, knowing what a lot of other MoMs go through. Also I love some of the perspectives and/or ideas that you ladies have regarding life/raising children. I wonder why you blog? I often think that blogging will be therapeutic for me, getting my thoughts out. Do you blog to keep long distance family/friends up to date, blog for therapy? I'm just curious. I want to blog too, but I often feel that what I have to say would be boring. I would just get bored with it and not keep up with it. Like I said, I'm just curious.

I started off blogging to have an outlet for my infertility journey.  My blog has now changed into a way to chronicle the things that the babies are up to.  I plan to use this site to change my blog into book form:

I started my blog for my family and friends out of state.  Im extremely close with my mom and it was killing her to not see my belly grow so i would update her often via the blog.  She loved seeing the pics and now we actually got a web cam so she can see the babies in action.

I wish i had more to say and more time to say it but i think pics of the LOs is enough hahaha! i also love that i can look back to the day i got my BFP and the day we found out it was twins!! Im working on a way of archiving it so i can show the LOs the story of them.

Blog there is no harm! you get bored so you stop noone will hold you accountable... do it for whatever reason you find interesting.  I find many of my friends will email or call asking for me to update whihc is fun bc i know they care and want to see the latest adventures! GL and have fun

I've been blogging for about 8 years, so there was never a question of if I was going to. I just changed my focus to the kids.

I have been blogging for many years now, but now focus on family. All my family are out of state, so this allows them to keep in touch. I wanted to let family know how the kids were doing and so on.

I started blogging to keep my family updated about the pregnancy, now its keeps them updated about the kids with pictures and life in general (sometimes recipes and crafts sneak in there). Sometimes I vent, usually about the Army or teething, but most of the time its the escapades of the kids.

As a way to journal events for myself but also as a way to share updates and pics to family and friends.  Although it's really time consuming to upload pics and what not.

I recently started just to document this special time.  I regret not starting while pregnant and "missing" the babies' first couple of months, but I'm working on getting down the memories while they're still somewhat fresh.  I also hope other MoMs will find it helpful and that my friends and family will feel more connected with the babies, but mostly it's for myself.  Because it's out there in the online world, it actually inspires me to keep going with it, unlike a regular journal that I know for sure nobody else cares about.  With a blog I can pretend someone else might give a darn if I add a new post!

I started my blog to document my infertility journey.  I am keeping it going because it's a place to document our new life and one day, I will show the girls.  I plan to print all of my pregnancy posts and make a book for them as well.

I blog because I'm an attention whore.

Just kidding. I started blogging because getting pregnant wasn't easy & we were keeping our attempts a secret. I needed an outlet. Then blogging turned into a place to document my pregnancy & the babies' growth for family to reference. It's also been great at keeping memories in one place to look back on.
