Why do I blog?

I’m not sure I can easily answer that question… yeah why DO I blog?

I was asked last week by Tim Rosso if I was a full time blogger? Ummm… I stuttered… I suppose.

Am I? I really don’t know?

I suppose I’d have to be if I blog every day. I blog for Kidspot and I design blogs, so I suppose I am a full time blogger. It’s pretty much all I do every day.

I got pulled over by the police last week in my Kidspot car and was quizzed why I had it (VIC number plates) and what do I do? Ummm… I stay at home with the kids and I blog about stuff. 

But why? I mean, I don’t earn a single dollar from my own blog, but I insist on blogging every day to make it bigger and better. I am dedicated to it that’s for sure.

I look at other blogs, I watch what everyone is doing, I take it to heart if my blog is ‘having a bad day’, I wonder how can that blog get so many comments, I wonder about BLOGS a lot. I mean, every second person has a blog these days. The community is massive.

I’ve just decided recently that if I don’t make money off this little baby then it’s really not worth it. I mean is it? I spend a lot of time on this blog. I am here every day. I am sharing. I have good statistics (let’s get serious, this gig is a numbers game – it always has been).

Today I’m tackling the big stuff – why do you blog? It’s a question that has been asked a thousand times before, I know. You can tell me you do it for you, for a family record, you love the community… I love all of that too. But at the end of the day, if it’s so massive to me, I gotta get something back out of this. Right?

I love this blogging game. It’s probably the biggest thing in my life right now. This place is all mine. Come and visit me, or not, it’s cool with me.

It absorbs me, it’s taught me a lot about people and where I want to go. It’s been 6 years in this place. I have some great memories, posts and a lot of highs and lows. Maybe I’m getting close to that 7 year itch and I am deciding what to do with this place…

Hmmm… sorry for the vague and strange post today. I’m in pondering mode. I’m restless and anxious. You know that feeling? When you’re not sure about what it is you actually want to do in life??

Anyway, happy Thursday! The kids and I are off for a morning walk… X

PS. I really really want that office nook above! How cool would it be to blog from there every day??
