We live away from all our family and in general our family is spread throughout. That way everyone can see what we are up too. I also print them once a year so its like a "year in the life of" memory book too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-blog#post-1171026 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:19:50 +0000 wahine08 1171026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I blog but it's all private. I guess it doesn't really count, since it's basically just a personal journal but I started when I got engaged. It's neat to see the progression from wedding planning to TTC to loss to now pregnancy updates :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-blog#post-1171023 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:19:03 +0000 pui 1171023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I blog my own personal thoughts and experiences. Kinda just for fun and to get things out, no real purpose. Not really meant for anyone else to read.</p> <p>I used to write in a journal every single day from when I was around 10 to around the age of 16. I actually couldn't sleep if I didn't write in it. Now writing with a pen actually hurts my hand lol. I prefer to type and blog sites like Tumblr make that easy and nicer than just writing stuff in to a word document. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-blog#post-1171017 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 10:17:15 +0000 yin 1171017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to blog to jot down my thoughts. Now I blog to document family adventures and my progress so far with my pregnancy. A lot has changed since I first started blogging on Xanga in high school (10+ years ago). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-blog#post-1170805 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:27:00 +0000 swurlygurl 1170805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it solely so my friends and family (1,500 miles away) can watch DD grow since they never get to see her. :(<br /> However, it's turned into a fun way to 'diary' her life, milestones and all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-blog#post-1170804 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:26:58 +0000 mrbee 1170804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingnanny: Yah totally reasonable! We just have learned the hard way that we need a clear rule to tell vendors, otherwise things get messy...</p> <p>As to your original question, I usually blog to share experiences that might be helpful to others! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-blog#post-1170793 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:24:42 +0000 travelingnanny 1170793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just figured it would be relevant to this thread since I asked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-blog#post-1170788 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:23:05 +0000 mrbee 1170788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingnanny: You can share blog links in one of our monthly/bi-monthly "share your blog" threads!</p> <p>Here's the latest one, I think:<br /> <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-blogs-post" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-blogs-post</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-you-blog#post-1170778 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:21:14 +0000 travelingnanny 1170778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I blogged for 10 years (on Xanga- thanks @Mr. Bee) and loved being able to document my life. As I got older I began liking my privacy more and eventually stopped blogging, but I really miss that outlet. I'd love to hear your reasons. I'd also love links if you want to share them.</p> <p>ETA- never mind, it is against the rules to share blog links unless it is a certain thread. </p>
