I love the questions and answers...you are always meeting great people! :) <br /><br />I started my personal blog because I wanted to write and didnt really find a job in writing, which is what I went to school for! I had a job that was just paying the bills and missed my creative side. I'd have to say my most popular would be the one about our wedding or our wedding plans...The wedding blog industry is so large, its amazing!! I dont post pics of my stepdaughters either...for the same reasons. I would love to...but its a scary world out there. <br /><br />Also my fav blogs are: Poppies and Sunshine, Express-O, Lovely Little Details, AboutLastWeekend, A Village Town, OhtobeaMuse, BrideChic, AllWomenStalk, and many more!Dianahttp://parenting.allwomenstalk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-57707366381451155682011-08-29T13:52:28.998-07:002011-08-29T13:52:28.998-07:00She sounds like a fantastic blogger! :) This is a ...She sounds like a fantastic blogger! :) This is a great interview!<br /><br />I love her quote that she chose to blog because it was cheaper than therapy. I actually started my blog for a similar reason. I needed a place to vent and reflect. Obviously, blogging turns into something much more along the way.<br /><br />I often say blogging was the greatest decision of my life because of all the friends I've made in this online community. It's saved my life. (Seriously). I don't ever want to see my blog become a money-maker for that reason...it would take away the joy from it, I think.Jennifer Fabuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521908385026885699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-92062778944868309032011-08-29T11:12:49.734-07:002011-08-29T11:12:49.734-07:00Great interview - I liked what she said about blog...Great interview - I liked what she said about blogging helped her to "find her voice."

Do it because you love it. Cheaper than therapy. That's so true!! I found a creative outlet when I started blogging, and it is definitely been therapeutic. I also started blogging because I'd lost myself after kids were born. Blogging helped me to rediscover my own self, so to speak! It's like as if I wanted to say: Hey, I'm not dead yet! I'm still alive and full of energy and creativity. So many times we moms feel dead to ourselves when we sacrifice all we have to our children and families. Or at least that how I felt. <br />Also, I had a post about a research that showed that best thing men can do for their health is to get married. For women however, it was communicating with girlfriends. So blogging is indeed therapeutic, especially for those of us who don't get out much ;)<br /><br />http://byebyesoccermom.blogspot.com/2011/04/does-blogging-count.html<br /><br />xx<br />mayamtghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06172160952987403330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-29806583727174193162011-08-28T07:57:25.607-07:002011-08-28T07:57:25.607-07:00It was BritMums (or British Mummy Bloggers when I ...It was BritMums (or British Mummy Bloggers when I began) which helped me find my way with blogging and through them I've found so many great online 'friends'. <br />Great that you should meet Susanna.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119443727504215312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-28966890006391351312011-08-28T06:06:50.200-07:002011-08-28T06:06:50.200-07:00i started blogging because i couldn't stand f...i started blogging because i couldn't stand facebook....which is ironic because now every one of my posts is updated ON facebook. <br />i'm not sure which post was the most popular...maybe the one where i took a stand against the charlie sheen bashing {i received many emails from that}.<br />hope you're having a nice weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-57008455217046691352011-08-27T08:09:10.524-07:002011-08-27T08:09:10.524-07:00I do NOT joke when I say that my blog is my therap...I do NOT joke when I say that my blog is my therapist!
