Yayyy... A new fun blog posting forum! I love finding new fun topics and all answering them together and learning about the different people and nuances! Wa HOO!
What are the Top 3 reasons why you blog?
3)It started when I read my cousin's blog (Milk and Cuddles). She lives in Texas with her awesome husband and lil baby, and it was a great way to watch their lives grow (literally and figuratively)..and helped me to be connected when we're so far apart logistically. As my life changed I wanted to keep them in touch with what I was doing to.. tit for tat ya know?
2)I think blogging is like my new Graduate program. As a lifetime-student (or so it seemed as school never seemed to end), I created an image of myself that was very 'must keep learning'-based. Blogging is my creative avenue that opens my mind to learning about html, web design, as well as tricks of the trade that other's have learned for decor, parenting, cooking!. Plus with my financial blog-focus (www.dollard.wordpress.com) that allows me to learn about money and finance and share it as I go!. I told Kevin the other day that blogging is my new Ph.D., and I'm only in my freshman year!
1) I love to socialize and chat with others. Some of my worst jobs were those where I was either traveling by myself or sitting in an office by myself. I need NEED NEED interaction with others,, and blogging is how I not only can put my thoughts as they go all over the place out there, but I can find other bloggers to read and learn about and socialize with all over the world! So I am NEVER alone.. see the draw?

Yay! I love topics, too, especially when I have no idea what to write about! I can definitely identify with your answers. I've always wanted to be a writer, and so I thought blogging would help me get my feet wet a bit, too! Love your blog!
YAY! I love that we made your list of reasons you blog!
My reasons are:
1. To keep in touch with distant family and friends. I swear I am not just copying you D! lol. Moving to Texas had a lot of pluses, but one of the minuses was that all my loved ones live elsewhere! Blogging lets me keep in contact with them, in one central place.
2. Information/community - I was the only one of my social circle to have a baby. And no family close by, so blogging has helped me to find a community of women who are dealing with the same issues as I am, and to be able to use their cumulative wisdom as I learn to be a mom.
3. My job before I becoming a stay at home mom was very involved with writing about current subjects/products for TV segments. So being able to do that on my blog lets me continue to have a similar creative outlet, while being home with my sweetie pie:)
Your #2 is AWESOME! I also like to think of myself as a "lifelong student", and blogging helps me to be creative, learn new things, meet new people, etc. etc. etc.!

Love the "lifetime" student reason. Think it's true for me, too. I always need to be mastering something, learning new things.
Thanks for playing our game!
