I enjoy writing and absolutely have the time! :wink: I just don't think I would have anything to write about!!! "How I totally failed at breastfeeding" or "My baby's ten months and I'm still clueless"!! Oh and also, I'd feel sad to give up Cherrybee!</p> <p>I would choose Mrs Otter because it's (almost) my maiden name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/3#post-1643635 Mon, 19 May 2014 00:01:48 +0000 Boogs 1643635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: Same here, totally understand. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/3#post-1642777 Sun, 18 May 2014 12:05:53 +0000 theotherstark 1642777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I try to keep them separate, for a bit more anonymity :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/3#post-1642518 Sun, 18 May 2014 07:57:31 +0000 Mrs. Tea 1642518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: I have decided to blog more about motherhood and general kid stuff rather then about my own little one. I'm like you and feel nervous about sharing her life especially now that she isn't a baby. I think and hope it's doable ( and hopefully not too boring ha ha! ) If you like to write, I say go for it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1641229 Sat, 17 May 2014 01:54:07 +0000 Boogs 1641229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: Didn't realize that! Do you share your old identity here?</p> <p>I'm happy being a hostess, I prefer to remain private so blogging wouldn't work for me. But, I wouldn't mind a cute avatar! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1641020 Fri, 16 May 2014 20:46:39 +0000 theotherstark 1641020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought about it, since I blogged for WB. But my husband and I have decided that we are going to try to keep pictures of our LOs off social media/the online world as much as possible. Plus, these days, I am just enjoying time with my husband and pup, and not feeling the pressure of having to blog. So nope :) I'm happy sticking to the boards and just reading the blogs :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1641010 Fri, 16 May 2014 20:38:21 +0000 mrbee 1641010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: Just pick your favorite posts and apply! if there's a fit, we'll let you know... if not, maybe there are some posts that would make for a good guest blog? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1640998 Fri, 16 May 2014 20:30:44 +0000 cmomma17 1640998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: I'd read your blog posts :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1640914 Fri, 16 May 2014 19:21:15 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1640914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Rabbit: I like a lot of my older posts but I was just afraid it might hinder my chances. I know it's silly, it isn't a competition - I'll either be picked to be a blogger or I won't be but HB is so special to me. I really want to give back to the community that touches my life in so many wonderful ways :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1640860 Fri, 16 May 2014 18:51:52 +0000 Mrs. Rabbit 1640860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: I'm personally going through my archives and catching up. I loved being pregnant, so I'm sharing posts from back then. I just hope I'm not boring people—I'm excited to get to current day soon! </p> <p>@kjpugs: Submit your post! I wanna read it now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1640192 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:53:49 +0000 kjpugs 1640192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: that was a big thing for me too. The picture requirements were super intimidating to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1640182 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:51:04 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1640182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: I stopped keeping up with my personal blog around the holidays when it seemed endless - the family obligations, the kids hitting new milestones at frightening speeds, so forth. I think that's what makes me a little nervous about applying to blog. I mean some of these posts are at least 6 months old if not older! What if they want something more recent? Should I include past blogs and write a few new blogs? Or should I get my personal blog up to date and apply in a month or two?</p> <p>Fun fact: I actually started my personal blog because I wanted to be a HB blogger but hubs didn't want to share pictures of our kids on the internet (which is ultimately why we got rid of FB). It's been a year and he said last night when I asked if I could apply as a blogger for the fourth time that if we were going to share pictures of our kids anywhere, it would be on HB. Shows how much his opinion of HB has changed in a year! He sees how its really helped me and he supports my HB obsession :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1640143 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:41:29 +0000 kjpugs 1640143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought about applying when I was in my third tri but I've had a hard time keeping up with my personal blog, so I don't know if I'd have the time to commit to it. Still want to submit a guest blog on a subject that's important to me but have to find the right way to put pen to paper... such a complicated subject. I don't know how our amazing bloggers are able to write so eloquently and (seemingly) effortlessly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1640127 Fri, 16 May 2014 13:37:20 +0000 immabeetoo 1640127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: (i sew kids clothes) someone just found m y blog using key words "little boy bottom with pance" (pants?) I hope it's innocuous but.. icky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638505 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:20:05 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1638505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: wow that is super freaky! I feel ok with some pics on a private blog but the audience on HB is obviously much, much larger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638487 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:13:30 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1638487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: yes definitely! Wouldn't want a future girlfriend to be like "man, you were hard to potty train"..haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638481 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:10:07 +0000 babycanuck 1638481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: makes total sense :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638475 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:08:25 +0000 mrbee 1638475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: We considered it! But it just seemed tricky with TTC and losses, so we decided to use just Mr. and Mrs. for ourselves. It's up to each blogger what they call themselves and their SO... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638466 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:03:54 +0000 immabeetoo 1638466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: you're definitely not the only paranoid one! Sometimes I feel guilty for sharing pictures of LO even under private accounts... I know of 3 people recently who found pictures/videos of their kids on foreign sites. It's hard sometimes, because I blog about kids clothes... and they're obviously cuter with a smiley kid IN them but I'm just not comfortable with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638457 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:01:28 +0000 babycanuck 1638457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I know! I was on WB! I'm just surprised you guys didn't do like... Mama Twine or Mama Confetti instead of the Mrs. or Ms. etc </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638448 Thu, 15 May 2014 21:00:13 +0000 mrbee 1638448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: My name predates Hellobee... I was Mr. Bee on our last site too, pre-kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638409 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:53:29 +0000 babycanuck 1638409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I'm surprised on HB you didn't choose to use Mama ____ or Papa _____ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638196 Thu, 15 May 2014 20:04:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1638196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: And of course not even just pictures, but content as well. I want to be respectful of what I share, even if he is a toddler. I don't want to embarrass him. I think many bloggers like to use the pictures to break up wordy posts, but it's definitely not necessary :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638162 Thu, 15 May 2014 19:54:00 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1638162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: glad I'm not the only paranoid one. :) I have seen more posts recently that have minimal to no pictures so maybe the door is somewhat more open to that type of blogging... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638125 Thu, 15 May 2014 19:43:02 +0000 Torchwood 1638125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Thanks! Next ultrasound is the 21st, and that should give us a better idea what's going to happen. Fingers crossed it's the same or improved, or at least only a little worse! Need to keep growth to no more than around a millimeter a week to make it to 34 weeks with at least a reasonable chance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638121 Thu, 15 May 2014 19:41:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1638121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: You've definitely been in my heart recently &lt;3 Hope all is going well with you and baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638115 Thu, 15 May 2014 19:40:57 +0000 Torchwood 1638115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Aww, thanks! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638112 Thu, 15 May 2014 19:40:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1638112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Torchwood: I love guest posts. I definitely would love to read yours if you put something together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638092 Thu, 15 May 2014 19:38:00 +0000 Torchwood 1638092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I don't either! Mostly because I do all my blog reading on my phone, and I have java turned off on it because it slows things down, and for some reason pictures don't show up on HB without java. And a lot of the posts tend to be picture heavy. Also, they just update so often I can't keep up! </p> <p>I've looked into applying, but the picture requirements are way out of my league. I also just don't update often enough, and am not willing to commit to it. That being said, our situation is unique enough that I may at least do a guest post once we know more about what's going to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wish-you-were-a-hb-blogger/page/2#post-1638064 Thu, 15 May 2014 19:34:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1638064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Baby Boy Mom: definitely not crazy! I have some of the same concerns - more so when I think about J's future personal life... I wonder how or if it will affect him?</p> <p>@NaturallyCathy: What I LOVE about the bloggers is none of us are the same - we all come from all over the US, varying education, family life, personal style, quirks, etc - I love that there is diversity and I think it's great when people don't fit the "mold". Some of my favorite posts have been the hard, honest ones - because I feel it sets this site apart from other popular bloggers who tend to give off the perfect life image. </p>
