I have taken a little break from writing about two of my passions - great classic books and home education. Our family typically takes June and December off from our regular education schedule. This month we have also had Sam home and so we have spent a lot of time showing her around our new city/state. Fun times! We are so glad to have her here.I have also had a few thoughts (and some comments) about what my blog should be. I know several people who have a blog for family and a separate blog about whatever else they are passionate about - home education, motherhood, cooking, vinyl wall art, scrap-booking, jewelry, etc. I think all these are fabulous! I am reluctant to separate my blog to make one for education and one for family. My reasons are that I am all of these things together. I do not separate myself from my passions. This is a way of LIFE for us and not two different things.
I am not saying that those who have separate blogs should put everything in one. This is just my personal choice. Several months ago I added links for each family member and another row of links to home education topics. This is all I'm going to do to separate the topics...so you can subscribe or not as you wish. You can just delete the topics you don't want to read...I won't know the difference!
I hope I have not offended anyone, it is not my intention. I will make more of an effort to post family happenings along with my other passions. I know that our blog is one of the key features for staying in touch with our family that is so far away now. We love you all!
I think its fabulous the way it is Celeste.... =)
ReplyDeleteIf I could merge my photography blog for my business into my Life Learners blog.. I SOO would... but alas... I dont know that I could merge the two seamlessly and I dont want to fight with it... lol...
Hope all is well and enjoy your time off with Sam!!! <3
She is looking more like you every time I see her. That is such a great picture of you both. I don't want you to compartmentalize, just to include more family stuff so that we can feel as though we still know you, and are not losing touch. The truck is nice isn't it? Anyway, I am glad you guys are having such a great time with Sam.
ReplyDeleteI say, Amen to that! I have often thought about separating things in my blog too, but I haven't, for the same reasons. I agree with you! Life is life and it's all part of who you are! I don't happen to share family pics on my blog, because I am keeping the identities or our children protected, due to the whole adoption thing. But, from one topic to the next, I write about funny things the kids say, family activities and things I am learning about! Go you! :D)
