What’s your blog all about? My blog is about family, children, being a working mama,and the slow voyage of discovery we have made from mainstream to attachment parenting
Why did you start blogging? I started writing when we were trying for a baby as a way to stop myself going crazy will all these thoughts of “will it happen?” and “what kind of parent will I be?”
What is your favourite part about blogging? The fact that I have so much of our history as a family recorded now. I love looking back and seeing the journey we have come on.
How do you manage juggling family life with blogging? I am blessed to work full time which means I have lunch breaks and bus journeys. I have to be organised to get my writing done in those small windows but I mostly manage it.
Any advice to new/other bloggers? Write your own story, with your own voice. It is so easy to get drawn into the “professional” side of blogging but what will attract people to your site, and keep them reading is hearing your passionate voice.
