Speak Up & Speak Out when Commenting

Sometimes I read blog posts I don’t agree with. It’s true. On those days I don’t comment. I leave and come back another day – or if I’m really insulted I leave all together. Because I have always been afraid of being labelled a “troll.” But since reading a few blogs that have triggered serious…

Why It IS Okay to Share Online

Recently I have seen several posts on social media questioning parents and their ease with sharing their children’s pictures and stories. They suggest that we are too free with their lives and perhaps our children will grow up resenting us. Resenting the potty photo? What?! The whole thing is baffling me. I share my daughter’s…

Refusing a Niche

I don’t fit into the “norm” of blogging. I don’t have a specific “niche” or “group” and I don’t participate in “a comment for a comment” readership. Because I read words that speak to me. I’m passionate about so many things and fitting my words into one element would be impossible. I get fired up…

The Darker Side of Blogging

I’ve had this space for over a year. I know! It’s a toddler blog now. And throughout my time in the interwebs I have picked up skills that I could have never learned from a book on blogging etiquette, or “Twitter for Dummies.” I’ve made connections I didn’t think were possible and friendships that I’m…

Recipe for Creating a Delicious Blog

I have someone pretty special here today. Someone who took the blogging world by storm when she started writing. Her encouragement, support, and delicious treats are known literally world wide. She not only writes for her blog but for two others! Contributing her stories to help women realize they are Enough and mothers around the…

I Said NO HITTING!

Thursdays around here are usually reserved for Throat Punches. Jabs to the adams apple. Round house flying ninja kicks to the melon. Not that those kind of activities make me happy or anything. But this Thursday I have the honour of sharing a special moment over at Cookie’s Chronicles. Sue is away all month and…

And the Winner is?!

You’re all waiting aren’t you! You’re on the edge of your chairs wondering who won? Was it the vagina touching or the penis drag? Was it the nose pickers or the booby feeler? Well, you will soon find out. After a post. A post about bloggers, blogging, and blog love. I’m a relatively new blogger,…
