Why I Blog

Why on Wednesdays

To kick off my blog series titled Why on Wednesdays I wanted to start by sharing Why I blog.  I started my blog back in January of 2012 on free blogger.  The change to WordPress was a recent one.  Anyway, that’s not about why I started blogging.

I am a stay at home mommy to 9 children and the only other “grown-up” I see on a daily basis is my husband.  I wanted to be able to interact with other adults somehow and what a better way than to share my thoughts and opinions on my own little corner of the internet.  It was one of those things where I’d seen so many people making blogs and then abandoning them and I wanted to make sure I was going to want to continue with mine.  There have been times that I had to take a small break or needed to step back for a bit, but all in all, I have felt that this was still something I should be doing.

I love having this little outlet into a world where I can talk to someone in Australia or Germany as easily as I can someone next door.  

This is wonderful!

I have continued to blog for the outlet it gives me and also for some of the wonderful opportunities it has given me.  I have been blessed to become a part of the TOS Review Crew that gives us access to homeschool curriculum that we would otherwise never be able to afford and try out.  This is a true blessing for myself and my children as they get to try things and hopefully find what works best with their learning style.

In addition to homeschool reviews occasionally you will get to see other product reviews and even sometimes giveaways that I get to share with you because I blog.

One of my favorite things is to share recipes.  I love to cook, though I have less time to do it these days that I used to.  When I cook I like to post my recipes on here so that you have access to them.  They are going to be gluten-free and sometimes dairy-free as well.  Always they will have options or suggestions to make them allergy-friendly.  I know how frustrating it can be at times to cook meals that fit into an allergy lifestyle.  In our house, we are allergic to gluten, milk, and soy so those are things we avoid.  I also do some experimenting with egg-free as we have friends who have to cook that way.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this little bit of getting to know me and are looking forward to next weeks installment.  Please feel free to comment and let me know what you want to see more of here on this blog!  I love getting comments!
