Blair Loves Blogging.

Duh.  OBVIOUSLY.

It’s therapy.  It’s community.  It’s laughter & tears & emails & pictures & OH MY GAH, how I love blogging.  I love being a blogger & I love reading blogs.  I thank God for blogs every day & the community that screams “ME TOO!” through the computer screen.

I’m a nerd like that.  But there are plenty of us that are nodding our heads at being blog nerds, so it makes me feel warm & fuzzy inside.

Comments

  1. Jen M says:

    I love it when someone I don't know finds my blog and then sends me a comment. I can float for days on that, especially since I'm such a brand new baby blogger. :)

    Any my favorite…either thatschurch.com or coconutrobotblog.com

  2. Meg'n'Eric says:

    I love blogging just to keep my family up to date on what my little peanut (not so little anymore) is up to.

    If you haven't checked it out you MUST go to http://www.kellehampton.com. Seriously. Stop what you're doing right now and go there, best decision you'll make all day.

  3. Carla Jo says:

    I love that I can use it as a journal that I do not have to hand write. And that maybe someone will be able to use my life as a lesson or that it will help someone in some sort of way.

    One of my favorite blogs is: http://shaversfamily.blogspot.com/

  4. Heather says:

    I love blogging for the pure and simple fact that it is my time for me. It's my therapy. It's my outlet. And best of all I get to blog mostly about my favorite things in the world…my kids, my family, & my friends.

    My most recent favorite blog is http://1plus1plus1plus1equals1.blogspot.com because I'm gearing up for my summer off with my kids & doing Tot School stuff with my two and half year old son! So much fun is going to be have & learning all the same (hey…I'm a teacher, learning is my thing)

  5. I love blogging bc I love to meet new people that are going through the same things that I am.

  6. Alison says:

    I love blogging because it gives me a way to catalog my creations. I love looking back on something I made and remember the good time in which I made it for!

  7. megan says:
  8. My favorite would have to be being able to share the cool things about life with family who lives far away!

  9. Erin says:

    I’m new to blogging and have fallen head over heels in love with it!
    My favorite part is the journey to finding my own voice (and keeping my friends and family updated with our lives).
    Your blog is my fave by far!

  10. Beth says:

    I love blogging because it gives me time to be me. It's my unwind time every night and I just love it.

    I have to pick ONE blog?!?! Ugh. There are so many I love and I really don't want to offend any of my mommy mafia. So instead, I'll pick a blog that I do love… but nobody knows I read it.

  11. dana says:

    my favorite blog is my cousin who is a stay at home mom to 3 soon to be 4 that homeschools and is a great mom. check her out at http://www.sippycupsandfingerprints.blogspot.com

  12. Amber B says:

    Take one look at my blog and you'll see why I want to win this.

    Mine's hideous. =) It serves it's purpous though. I dislike scrapbooking (not creative and too time consuming) so it serves as that, as well as keeping family and friends in the loop.

    It's like an ongoing time capsule.

    Kelly's Korner. MckMama. PW. and You! All bookmarked on my phone and read daily!

  13. Aly says:

    I love http://www.kellehampton.com right now. She is great. I also love my little blog, http://www.alysbloggityblog.blogspot.com. I love having a project and knowing that a few people like what I have to say is kinda nice too!

  14. Genelle G. says:

    My favorite part of blogging is reading blogs and feeling connected to the world outside of my life as a SAHM. I love being at home with my kiddo, but it is so important to have a connection with something other than a one year old and my husband. On days when I can't get out to play group or story time the internet and blogs are my friends. :)

    I love reading Liz at damomma.com. She is great and her kids are adorable and make for some great blog-fodder! Another favorite is Becca at theparopost.blogspot.com. ;) She posts some really great pictures and is an entertaining writer. She and I were pregnant at the same time and were both on the Bump board for high risk at the same time. I started reading her blog while I was on bed rest and it really helped to keep me entertained while I was trapped on permanent bed rest.

  15. Emma says:

    I like blogging to keep a running account of all the mundane and not so interesting parts of my life. They will be interesting in 20 years!

    I like the818.com even though she doesn't blog as much as I would like her to anymore. Darn babies eating up time!

  16. Katherine says:

    I am horrible at keeping up a baby book, and not good at all at scrapbooking. Blogging helps me capture all of the important milestones and special moments of my two sweet boys.

    Ummm…is it conceited to nominate my own blog? I just think I have the 2 cutest subjects!

    thebagleycircus.blogspot.com

  17. Rachel says:

    I wanted to keep a journal, but realized I would be more likely to write in the computer. I don't follow many blogs yet…just starting to get into it.

  18. Neeley says:

    Currently, I do not have a blog, but once my business is up and running I hope to blog frequently. Other than your blog, I read http://mrsforeste.blogspot.com/ alot. Her baby girl is adorable!

  19. Caroline says:

    i love being able to say whatever i want and only those who want to respond can!

    http://www.life-caroline.blogspot.com

  20. Casey says:

    I have too many favorites to name. Yours, Takeoffwithkatie, and a few of our familiy’s blogs are what I follow. My favorite part of blogging is keeping our family across the world up to date on our little family!

  21. I love documenting life and knowing that I'll be able to leave my words and my experiences behind. The community of the bloggy world kinda rocks too!

    One of my fav blogs is

    http://ourdelilah.blogspot.com/

    She is so witty and charming and I love just about everything that she has to say.

  22. Angela says:

    I like that I have a way to update my family about what is going on with us. (Although that means no venting -about-family posts, which is sometimes my LEAST favorite thing about my blog!)

    I love http://www.kellehamptom.com

    Gorgeous pictures, gorgeous kids, gorgeous spirit

  23. Anne says:

    I love sharing my life with so many other moms who get it!

    Everyone here, I mean everyone, should check out http://www.taminginsanity.com

  24. I blog to keep family updated. . .we have no family around. . .the closest are in CO and the rest are overseas for work. My favorite blog is leslieautumn.blogspot.com and my funny sister thestylecrusader.blogspot.com

  25. Alyssa says:

    I blog because it's my outlet. I can be creative and share what's really going on at our house. Plus, I get to meet all sorts of lovely bloggers in the process (some of whom I've met IRL too!).

    Picking one favorite blog? Wow. I have a bunch in Google Reader that I love! I love http://www.harpershappenings.com and after getting to meet Cindy from The Flipping Couple recently, I can't seem to stop reading her blog either- http://www.theflippingcouple.com.

  26. Shaina N says:

    I blog because it keeps my DH's family updated, and because I love the community I discovered when I had a miscarriage.

    One of those girls is Abbie at "Hope and a Future." She's had two miscarriages and continues to struggle with infertility. She has a STRONG faith in the Lord.

    Leave her some love, she starts injection treatments today

    I love to blog as a way to show off my handsome son. I love that I can share a story about our adventures surronded by pictures instead of just pictures. (because what is a blog without photos!)

    http://kirkbridechronicles.blogspot.com/

    That is the little website that I "help" my son Carter write. But I love reading about your life. It makes me feel like I am not alone!

  37. noelle says:

    To be honest, you're my favorite blog I always go to and you have been my inspiration. My blog is more of a photo journal for me and my kids. I lost my mother before I had my son and it makes me sad that I have so much questions. So now my kids will always have something to show them what their childhood was like.

  38. Ash says:

    I blog to keep in touch with old family members. :)

  39. Melissa says:

    I love reading blogs because it makes me feel that I'm not the only one thinking something, or going through something. And it's done with humor.

    I love blogging b/c it gives me time to write and reflect. Unfortunately I don’t get to write that often. I am really busy with school. Hopefully this summer I’ll be able to blog more. I love that it’s journaling but easier.
    I’ve always wanted to journal, but I never committed like I should. This is my journal. :)

    Honestly, yours is the only blog I read. I'm too chicken to start my own, for fear that no one will read it!!! But I do love yours!!

    While I enjoy my blog, it's for family, so I can't write about all of the disgusting/obnoxious/crappy things that happen day to day. I like that I'm keeping a running commentary on my son's life because Lord knows I won't be able to keep up with his baby book! Perhaps one day I will make my own mommy blog for rants and raves… until then, I read you, Mandy, Jill, and Aunt Becky. But you started me on mommyblogs, Blair!
