  1. Hi! I think one of the main reasons I started blogging had to do with my youngest daughter being born. I was at home alone a lot more and I needed to do something for me, and to try and help out financially from home. I prayed about what I should do, and God brought me to the blog world! I love it and God has brought so much out of me having a blog! =)

  2. I run a review and giveaway blog with a focus on products for children and parents. As an Early Childhood & Family Studies major, preschool worker, and nanny, I encounter more children's products than you can imagine. I decided to start Twee Poppets to share what I've learned! Plus, I'm excited to be able to start collecting baby gear for my future child. :)

  3. I wanted to learn about the wonderful world of blogging and it seemed like a creative outlet for a new hobby. I had no idea how much fun it would become.

  4. I started blogging because I wanted to connect with other moms and share experiences. I now have three blogs:
    www.housekeepinginprogress.com my main blog
    www.inallitsglory.blogspot.com my all things Christian blog
    www.gracefullyseeking2010.blogspot.com my Bible study blog

    I'm a wife of 5 years, and a SAHM to Elijah (3) and Charlotte (6mo). I enjoy blogging, card making, reading, and crocheting.

  6. Hello everyone! My name is Lee Ann Trelles and my blog is www.naturals1868.com. Naturals1868 is my umbrella company for the companies that I represent (direct sales). I currently have Watkins products and Petlane products in my portfolio. Natural products for you, your home and your pets. I've been blogging for a while, but obviously started this blog because I wanted a way to promote my companies without doing a full scale website. LOVE BLOGGING!

  7. Hi the main reason I started blogging was to find a way to help my family out financially. I was already a work at home mom, but I needed to bring in a bit more income to help pay for my kids to go to private christian school. We also just plainly needed the money. So I saw blogging as a way to start trying to generate an income online.

  8. My blog is all about the adventures that we experience as we travel with my husbands job and live full time in our RV. Initially I started blogging to keep family and friends abreast of what was going on in our lives and somehow it grew into something that I really just love to do.

  9. I started my blog to document God's daily blessings in my life. I write about my little boy, devotional thoughts, church ministry, and all the other blessings that He pours out on my life every day!!
    So glad to find this site! =)

  10. I am not a mama... yet!!! But, I wanted to join in on the fun :) I blog because I wanted a way to "document" our lives and scrapbooking just wasn't happenin ;) I also know that God has given me a love for RELATIONSHIPS and this is a way to make lots of new friends and connect on a Christian level with SO many women around the world!

  12. I started blogging to ease the social isolation of being a stay at home mom. :-) I also started blogging to strengthen and maintain my writing skills. I really enjoy it and have met some pretty awesome people!

  13. I just wrote a whole post about why I blog! Since it's been a five-year journey, it's kind of long. Rather than rewrite or summarize, here's the link: http://www.joyinthisjourney.com/2010/06/baring-it-all-or-why-im-not-typical-fox.html

  14. I started The Lemonade Connection, because I knew that if I could save over 50% on my groceries for my family and make it through the tough times...others could too. Our lives are not for taking all we can get from others. I live because God provides everything I have, including the coupons and savings that I get to share daily with my readers. I believe that when you learn something BIG, you should share it! So I started my site to help others make it through these financially challenging times...with something they can do immediately to see results.

    If I can do it, so can you! Come make Lemonade out of the Lemons that life has handed you...I'm here to help!

  15. Hi there!

    I have been working from home for 3 years. I ran into so many work-from-home scams and others who wanted to work from home but didn't know how to get started. My blog offers free personal coaching (resume prep included) and daily job listings (scam free). That is my passion.

  16. I started blogging as a way to help me through PPD. It was something fun, something I looked forward to doing, something I was proud of. As time went on, I had more and more fun taking pictures and writing little blurbs about my son. I love that it opened up a whole new world for me - I've met some great e-friends along the way!

  17. I blog to help other wives, moms and women recapture the art of Biblical homemaking. I share ways to stretch the families finances, manage the home, love our husbands and children. The message that I share is that you can be joyful and fulfilled as a keeper at home.

    I am a wife, mom, CWAHM, CSAHM and I love the Lord.

  18. I started blogging to have a place to record my thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I also thought that someone might relate to or be encouraged by something that I have shared on my blog. Or maybe a light-hearted post just might make someone smile.

  19. My joy is larger than my pain. Blogging provides a way for me to share what I have learn on my journey with chronic pain. I write short devotional thoughts about scriptures that inspire and challenge me. Thank you for creating this web site.

  20. Hi Stephanie!! Wow, great work on this site!

    The reason I started my blog was to share with others what God shares with me. I pray every day for his guidance and wisdom and He is so faithful. I wanted a way to encourage others with His word, and after 2 years of trying to think of the best way to do that, I thought of starting a blog! I'm so glad I did too!

  22. I started blogging mainly to keep a journal of our day to day life. What I didn't anticipate was finding a beautiful community of others just like me!

  23. Hi Stephanie! What a great idea! I am excited to be a part of this new group!

    I started blogging because I wanted to share my journey back to God. Since I started writing though, I discovered my {new} love for photography. I think we are constantly changing and growing and I love that our blogs can reflect that growth. I love writing about my faith but I also love sharing my pictures.

    What I didn't expect when I started My Alabaster Jar is that I would "meet" such encouraging women. I didn't expect to find friends. It's refreshing and I am so thankful to have this outlet.

  25. Hi Everyone!! I started blogging because it was soooo much fun! How can you not blog this day in age? Most of the moms I know all Stay at Home to take care of their beautiful children. And to be able to change things up a bit, we need to write down how much fun we are having with them and the other things we do on the side.

  26. The main reason I started my blog was to share educational ideas and crafts with others. I had previously had a scrapbooking blog and then took a 3yr. blogging hiatus. Last year I felt like God was giving me the go-ahead to start blogging again. I've enjoyed getting to know other bloggers and getting to know a totally different niche (educational/homeschool bloggers).

  27. I first started my blog to discuss books and my love of knitting...well, that idea didn't last too long! :)
    I slowly realized God was calling me into another direction and that is when I started blogging about my faith and family!

  28. Hi, I already posted one comment but I didn't state the reason I started blogging.

    I started my first blog mostly for an escape. The same way we would write in a journal. But then it turned into more than that. Now I share about my large family, my childcare, my Christianity, my life as a mommy & a wifee :) I also participate in "Post-It Note Tuesday, Wordless Wednesday, Thankful Thrusday & Flashback Friday"

    My other blog I started in hopes of spreading The Word.

    Good luck to the winner :)

  29. I started blogging because I love to write (like many of us), and I really needed an outlet for myself. I've found that I really enjoy most of mommyhood and marriage, but it helps to talk about it with other moms. And blogging is also a constant reminder that I'm not crazy, I'm a mom.

  30. Hi! I started blogging because it is a way for me to share with friends & family what goes on in our house. I am often asked how I manage with 5 kids 5 & under... people often comment that I should write a book someday. While I don't think I will ever write a book;) blogging is my way of bringing encouragement & advise for other moms seeking to raise their little ones for Christ!
