I absolutely love writing and sharing, and I don't think we need to bend to what everyone else is doing -- if we're enjoying it and it's genuine, that's what matters and what people will resonate with! xoThe Lucky Lifestylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17949922938685472273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4818298303209964909.post-56629706431722087142018-09-28T12:00:03.822-07:002018-09-28T12:00:03.822-07:00Jen, It's a great read and you know, we have s...Jen, It's a great read and you know, we have similarities. I have been with few bloggers for last 8 years as well and I guess that's how we met on Megan's blog. I never thought of starting my own at that time as I found it bit boring. May be I had other things to at that point. But Now, I don't feel blogging is boring but I agree with about the social media. I am not that active either. Seems like I am reading my own mind here. Your writing skills are great and I am so glad that you started your blog to share with others. BTW, I love to see your kids pictures.

I often talk about you and will say "oh, my friend Joanne said/posted..." Even my hubby knows who you are! :) I appreciate your kind words more than you know and send them right back to you. xoThe Lucky Lifestylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17949922938685472273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4818298303209964909.post-60179441641044057122018-09-26T09:38:22.728-07:002018-09-26T09:38:22.728-07:00Congratulations Jen!

I realise now it takes a lot of commitment to blog frequently so to get to one year is a great achievement! You have a distinctive blogging style - like a 'writer' and I love that. I think you'd be great doing review pieces on films, books, products, travel etc. The piece you did on your birth was one of the ones that really stands out to me. You really come across so genuine and I appreciate the fact you so obviously are in this for the writing and the connections and friendship and are open to people across the other side of the world! As you know I am an avid reader of your blog and consider you a true blogging buddy and friend.

That is who I ...I couldn't have said it better. That is who I feel about blogging. It is a struggle on what to share. Sometimes I love writing about what happened during the weekend and other times I feel like others don't care. I struggle with what I want to share and where I want my blog to go. I love to write, but sometimes the stress of just putting a post out there is awful. Thank you for sharing these thoughts. I am so happy to know others feel the same way as I do about blogging and sharing.Sparkles and Latteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963473872202413760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4818298303209964909.post-12975285767850277552018-09-25T09:01:06.658-07:002018-09-25T09:01:06.658-07:00Thank you so much, Sierra!

I think with my IG, it's not so much the photos -- it's that my IG was started years before my blog, so there are photos from their births, possible identifying information, etc. since it was kept so private for so long. I completely agree that two separate accounts seems so difficult to manage! It seems like you've managed to find a great balance, and that's something I definitely strive for. I'm so glad we connected through this community, too! xoThe Lucky Lifestylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17949922938685472273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4818298303209964909.post-91753430635387283202018-09-25T08:37:47.100-07:002018-09-25T08:37:47.100-07:00Congratulations on the one year mark! I feel like ...Congratulations on the one year mark! I feel like the first year is always the biggest hurdle. I'm so glad we've connected through this blogging community and I enjoy visiting your space. I think it's all about balance which isn't always easy to do. I can completely relate and respect your decision about your accounts. I used to have two IG accounts and then it just got to the point where it didn't feel like the things I was sharing on my blog one were me or related to our family. Switching to just my blog one was one of the hardest things for me, and I still try to be careful with what I share. As weird as it sounds, the hard part is, seeing the potential earnings coming in and being able to put things into a college fund for the boys for the pictures they're in. I still question each campaign and hope we are doing the best for them and making the right decision. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your heart for your space.
