I don't think of blogging as a diary. Instead, the blog is my medium of communication. To you. And to future generations; my children. I think its neat if my great great granddaughter looked me up one day and giggled.
I love "meeting" new people, making new friends, and I absolutely love the ladies I have met just through blogging. Like Rachel and Deanna and This Girl. You guys make me laugh. Deanna's birth story that she e-mailed me even made me cry! I feel like I know Deanna and Rachel, like we are real friends. I tell my husband about things they write, and for a while he thought they were actual people I hung out with. O.o *cue awkwardness* tee hee.

I also, of course, use my blog for marketing purposes for my amazing rainbow sunshine Etsy shop that saves kittens.
How do you think of blogging? Why do you blog?

Of course I would be wearing a flower clip! I learned long ago that it's the #1 way to make people know that I was a girl without having to ask. :)
And I blog because of the whole writing thing. If I wasn't blogging, I'd be writing random documents on my computer all the time, and it's just a little more fun to do that when other people can actually read what I write! It's a really great way to record all the stories of life, too.
i've always recorded my thoughts, all the way from childhood. and i have been online journaling in some form since i was fifteen. first it was opendiary, then livejournal, (the first two were 'friends only.') and just over the past two years i have moved to blogger. i view my blog as a scrapbook, and hopefully my kids will want to read my thoughts and look at our pictures when they get bigger.
if i didn't blog, i would probably talk to myself even more than i normally do.
can rachel also be holding her mannequin head with crazy rollers in our group shot? please? pretty please?
and thanks for saying such sweet things! i mention my blogger friends too. i think it's a blogger thing. :)
I don't think its selfish at all. Like you said someday your great-grand child who might not remember you or something would be able to just look at your blog and get to see this whole side of herself of where she could come from. I know one reason I blog is because two years ago I got into looking into the family tree and what not and my great grandfather had saved all this stuff from the family and I felt like I got to learn a whole piece of them I never knew about them or my family and thought it was so neat. That it would be great to have my future family have my blog to look at.
I love blogging because it allows me to share my thoughts, meet new people and everything else.
I don't see it as selfish at all! You are blogging about your journey in life! and I love that you choose to share those little bits of your life with us, like your wedding, your decision to work from home and your hate for leggings as pants. Out of all the people I have met through blogging you are the one that I could picture actually hanging out with, having real conversations and silly moments!
I blog for the same reasons as you! I want my grandkids to look back and think "holy moly, grandma was just as crazy at 25 as she is now!"
love ya girly!!

I think everyone ought to dedicate something for themselves. Blogging is just a hobby. But the thing that sets it apart from most hobbies is that it's a community, and bloggers tend to be really nice to each other. You're absolutely right, it's about making friends.
May the force be with you.
