I recently began blogging and quickly realized that I have many things which come before sitting down and pouring out my comments to the world. The goal of my blog is to encourge women in the principles found in Titus 2. So here is my encouragement to you. Be a lover of your husband and a worker in your home first then show kindness to others. (us - your followers.) Four to five days is just fabulous darling, or even less. Now, go and enjoy that man of yours! Thanks for sharing your life with us.

I love blogging so much, but my daily prayer is that I never forget God first, hubby second, kids, home..and blog is somewhere after all of that. Its nice to know I’m not the only one that struggles with this issue. Thanks for a peak inside Blissdom! I hope to be there next year! A girl can dream cant she…hay all my other dreams have come true, so why not that one too! ;) Have a great day! Blessings! Wow, you summed up my word for this year…balance.

And yes, balance is everything. I remember first discovering HGTV and decorating boards I was so in love with it all. But I had babies (now more!) to take care of and a husband and house. So balance is key. I am a little confused by saying many blogging for fun? Isn't that why most blog (besides having a l iving scrapbook online)? Most of the big blogs I read don't have a business agenda. Maybe I'm missing what you are saying? Kristi HI Rhoda,

I hope I can make it to something like this in the future. I also loved watching your video over at Layla's. So funny. And seriously, you need to brush you teeth more often. :) What a great time!

Even though we have readers, blogging is a solitary pursuit in many ways. I have often thought it would be nice to get together with other bloggers to discuss our experiences. I admire those who post everyday, because it takes dedication. I try to keep a balance, because I run a full time business and have a family. I have always strived for quality posts rather then quantity. Blogging is truly a passion of mine, and has been great fun. I definitely enjoy meeting so many interesting and creative people from all over the world. Cathy Hi Rhoda,

I hope to make it there one year! I can totally relate to the whole balance thing. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed right now and have to remember to keep my priorities straight. Thank you for sharing your experience it really is appreciated. It looks like you had a great time! I hope to make it there one year!

I'm so glad I had a chance to hang out with you again this year. I think I need to do what you did--sit down and write out the things I feel like I came away with from the experience. I haven't had a chance to really think it through yet, so you've inspired me. Thanks! :-) It was fun seeing you in Layla’s video, and I got a kick out of the Charlie’s Angels pose!

Words can't express how much I respect and admire you, how inspiring you are, and how much fun I had with you. I only wish we didn't live an entire continent apart, because I'd be in your kitchen chatting away whenver I was invited. Forget a Blissdom event, I just want to make those nachos and hang out with YOU ! I couldn't agree more about maintaining balance in life. LIfe is way too precious to waste it with too many hours a week behind a computer screen. We must breath deeply, take walks, explore nature, have down time, play, refresh and replenish, and step AWAY from the technology. Your words are so true. Whenever you post, whether it's six times or two times a week, or not at all, we'll all be there reading your words and enjoying your photos whenever you do.
