About 6 months ago Phil commented on some peoples blogs (no one in particular).. he said some were saying 'look at me, look at me'. I asked him if my blog was like that and he said 'no' of course. But I have been pondering this since he asked. Why do I blog? What is the purpose? I know the pictures and stories are to share with close family and friends... as I'm not ready to post too many on facebook. But why do I blog other stuff? I don't know. Is there really a point? Does anyone care/listen? I don't know. I guess it's my way of getting my thoughts out. Maybe I'm a thinker looking for another thinker to help me ponder life. Odd, yes. But maybe that is why?
So I thought I'd throw out the question, why do you blog? (or post on facebook?)

Was it me??? :( JK. I blog b/c I wanted to be a scrapbooker and it never happened. It's my scrapbook to remember all the fun things we do around here- and all the funny things the kids do. I put too many pictures on, but our computer crashed long ago and I lost all of Boaz's first year of life- pictures & video- except for what was on the blog... now I put everything on there!! (and we back up our computer!) Hope you are well!!
I also blog to scrapbook. I realize some of it is bragging, but I figure that's a privilege you get as a blogger. If people don't like it, they don't have to read it! It is also a way to share our daily life with family & friends. I've also said before that it's my hobby and outlet. I think it's a great way to solicit feedback from friends.
I started blogging to keep distant family up to date on Kate, and then CJ. Over time blogging has become kind of a fun outlet for me to share pictures and thoughts. I like to hear feedback from friends and I've received kind comments from people at church saying that reading my blog reminds them of when their kids were little. I feel like blogging has forced me to take more pictures of the girls too. Megan is right, if a person doesn't like what is on my blog then they don't have to read it. For now, blogging has been great.
I also agree with Sarah. Blogging has helped remind me to take more pictures of the kids AND to get them downloaded and labeled in a timely fashion. Otherwise they'd get lost in the abyss that most pictures do.
