No one wants to dwell on the daily things that upset us...we all know they're there and while most of us are bloggint the cute thing our toddler did that morning, the dog is eating the washing off the line :P<BR/>I blog because I want to remember the good bits - and there are so many of them. And as for the bad bits, I often find there's no better way to deal with them than a dose of humour anyway.<BR/>I also blog for my kids..what an amazing gift our blogs are going to be for them one day.<BR/>Here's to a little sugar coating when appropriate...we are mums, after all :)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507611352373383667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475201918521869938.post-2295996330530867102008-11-21T07:15:00.000+10:002008-11-21T07:15:00.000+10:00I blog for all the reasons you mentioned, and also...I blog for all the reasons you mentioned, and also because I hope that I can help someone along the way.<BR/><BR/>You have an award waiting at my blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475201918521869938.post-70839083850307667212008-11-21T03:00:00.000+10:002008-11-21T03:00:00.000+10:00I blog for pretty much the same reason!I blog for pretty much the same reason!Terezahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550153942309359995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475201918521869938.post-8500911894758377672008-11-20T23:39:00.000+10:002008-11-20T23:39:00.000+10:00Why do I blog...hmm...Well as most people who read...Why do I blog...hmm...<BR/><BR/>Well as most people who read our blog know, we started it to keep friends and family in the loop when Theresa got pregnant with Nate. I guess its a way of not having to tell the same stories over and over again on the phone or email.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I know I also enjoy people, and blogging is just one more way to do that, one more way to connect and communicate - and its cheaper than calling everyone all the time.<BR/><BR/>I also have a few blogs that I'm a sneaky fan of - one of them is Pleasant View Schoolhouse. I know...it's a bit girly of me, but there you have it!AndrewWriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088008155567419739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475201918521869938.post-41024234133064388472008-11-20T20:26:00.000+10:002008-11-20T20:26:00.000+10:00Hey Saminda, very interesting... well, i read othe...Hey Saminda, very interesting... well, i read other peoples blogs because I want to know what curriculum their using and how they implement it, how they cope with lots of children, the wonderful things others do and the great ideas that many many people have (we're all different and I try to appreciate it), whilst doing this I'm mindful of not trying to wear someone elses life like a new coat (ha ha, have been dumb enough to learn that one the hard way more than once!!!)but rather as informative text where I take what I think is great and purge the rest. I blog (extremely sporadically) as a tool of contact to include friends and family who we don't have regular face to face with, I feel that they might get a better chance to really know me, us and the things that are going on in our lives. That being said I don't think the far away fam really read it :( oh well.<BR/><BR/>I read your blog as i like the way Christ walks in your words and the way you use quotes. I enjoy it for your perspective on things and it reminds me to enjoy my family more.Queen of the Nativeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798913341731560872noreply@blogger.com
