How do you fit it in?

There is so much I want to write about and I am finding some amazing Blogs I want to read but I dont feel I have the time or concentration to do them justice.

I have 2 young children and at the end of the day when they are asleeo, I am too pooped to give anything any real brain power.

So how do you keep on top of it all?

be a sahm with school age kids, this should give you some free time?

butterflyexperience · 25/04/2011 19:39

My kids are pre-school age.
Are you a blogger Fatty?

FattyAcid · 26/04/2011 16:50

nope
would like to be but no time!
too many hours spent in paid employment is my main problem!

bronze · 26/04/2011 16:56

I have days when I don't have enough energy but then my blog isn't one that involves much brainpower anyway. I do it after dinner while dh is watching tv

butterflyexperience · 27/04/2011 15:48

Bronze I think you have the right idea blog while everyone else is occupied!

Fatty this is a Blogger topic area, not a paid employment VS SAHM debate.

I blog after my son is in bed or when he's sleeping.

I'm still waiting to hear if I've been accepted as a member of the MN blogging network...

BetterTogether · 27/04/2011 16:41

I write mine after dinner once kids are in bed too. Sometimes I'm too tired so skip a day, but try not too skip too often as then I have a zillion photos I want to post!

Ps. only just noticed there's a blogger topic!! :)

butterflyexperience · 27/04/2011 16:44

BetterTogether & Tee2072 would you mind posting your blog urls in the Introduction thread?

thanks

I would butterfly, but doesn't it say up at the top that this topic is for members of the bloggers network? I am not officially a member yet!!

Or am I being too pedantic? Grin

And can you link to the 'introduction thread'?

I tend to blog early in the morning before work or if I have time I will write up a couple of posts and set them up as automatic updates. Don't get bent out of shape about blogging everyday, do it one or twice a week but try to do it on the same days so that your readers think... Ooh it's Friday, XXX will post today.

butterflyexperience · 15/05/2011 20:55

Good idea LatteLAdy about having set days to help build a relationship with readers.

I've only just started blogging, but I seem to be a bit of a "fits and starts" kind of blogger.

So, what I'm doing is when I'm up for it and have a good chunk of time free, I write several...er, what's the proper name? Posts?...and then publish them over a few days.

Or I start a few drafts - so I don't forget the ideas and then fill them in when a bit of free time emerges.

But as I say, I'm VERY new to all this - Loving doing it though!

LizDawes · 27/06/2011 21:55

White lace and promises - my new blog post. Hope you like it.

Tee2072 · 28/06/2011 08:48

Liz, we have a thread for new posts if you want to put that over there here

EdnaTheInebriate · 28/06/2011 08:54

My blog is a show case for my work too so i need to keep mine up - tend to do it in the evening though as i work during school hours.

butterflyexperience · 28/06/2011 10:42

Gah I have really fallen behind blogging, finding that I'm busy with kids and DH at the end of the day.

Need to be more disaplined with fitting everything in but I find if I put pressure on myself to blog then I can't write anything decent just waffle.
