I started blogging because I am not good at keeping a journal, so I thought this would motivate me to do so. It is so much more fun!

I am still trying to narrow my subjects down, too. Your list is good. Pretty much sums up mine!

My hubby isn't sure about all this yet, but I am still working on him!

Great blogging principles... I'm new to the blogging world and see you've done quite well getting yours off the ground! Keep up the good work.

CYM's post piqued my curiosity so I stopped by to see your Blogging Guidelines. And I must say those are good ones, every one of them. I can't think of a thing to add or subtract.

I came here from Code Yellow Mom's blog. I like your points on blogging. My daughters got me going on it and my husband has "grown accustomed" to it. He couldn't quite figure out the attraction for a while, but he appreciates that it gives me enjoyment.

I, too, am glad you are blogging! (Your hand thing, alone, has enriched my life. My daughters no longer need prompting as to what they are supposed to do after school. They even draw themselves little hand charts to follow. Unfortunately, I still have to get them started! Any tips for that?)

I also like your blogging principles. I think it is a good way to focus yourself and what you hope your blog will be like.

*raises hand* I want to read how a mother of five potty trains!!!!

I too am glad you started and I think you are following your guidelines perfectly.

Thanks to your husband I am blogging too! Except of course my husband now loves to read what I write and looks everyday to see if I have posted anything new that we can discuss.

Heh. Funny. My husband, then boyfriend, is who got...

Heh. Funny. My husband, then boyfriend, is who got me started bloggig as well! Er...wish I could say I manage to blog and keep up with the laundry....but I don't wanna break your honesty policy!! :D

Welcome to the blogosphere!!

Great post. I never thought about blogging principals before but having some does make sense and in a way I blog with the same principles you do. Except the 500 word thing. Sometimes I blog long and some time I blog short! Thanks for sharing!

Hubby knows it makes me happy... so he tolerates it.

Keep up the wonderful posts.

Love your guiding principles. That's a really good thing to think that thru. You've given this new blogger something to think about.

2006-06-06T14:57:00.000-05:00

What a good list! I don't know many women who feel like all aspects of motherhood are a smooth fit with them, so you're certainly not alone! I really like your writing.

2006-06-06T14:54:00.000-05:00

I would love to read about potty-training if you can tell me how to convince my kids that underwear is not just a more comforatable diaper!! (grin)

Seriously - glad you're blogging! I'll be pokin' around some more...

2006-06-06T14:08:00.000-05:00

I love your five points...so well articulated and I wish could say I thought through things that clearly...I kinda just blurt things out on my blog (which is totally not what I do in real life - does this mean I have a virtual personality?). My biggest struggles with blogging are #5 (I have a 500 word goal every time, but almost always super exceed it, sometimes even after editing "ruthlessly"), and keeping up with my laundry. :)

I am so glad you are blogging! AND, I am soo-o-o-...

2006-06-06T11:04:00.000-05:00

I am so glad you are blogging! AND, I am soo-o-o-o jealous that your husband understands blogging! He's a blogger!

My husband teases that I spend so much time at the computer because I have a "boyfriend!" HA! I wouldn't want to spend that much time with a boyfriend! I've got blogging friends to catch up with! :)

Looking forward to more of your posts.
