Today’s post is different When I started my blog, I wasn’t sure what my niche would be, and what I would blog about. I knew I want to raise health awareness, and offer educational materials. But in what way, I didn’t have a clue. Today after 2 years blogging (with 5 months break) I know I want my blog to show who I am, and I want my voice to be clear. Offering nutrition advice is not enough for me, and my blog lacks a personal touch. So I decided to include more personal stuff, but for most of the time, it would be related to food, health, blogging in general. And maybe more in the future, who knows!
And because I believe a blog won’t be a real blog, if you don’t share with readers some personal issues. I feel connected to bloggers, when I read their personal stories like Ashlee when she wrote how to support bloggers she wrote about her real feelings, and concerns.Also, I love to read about imperfection, when I’m struggling to be perfect like in EA’s post confessions of an imperfect dietitian . If you remember when I wrote about the differences between bloggers and writers and about my personal story with nutrition . I had a great feeling of relief and rewarding, its like I have many friends who are willing to listen.
Things stressing me out
I pick this name’s post through a random name generator (I don’t do that normally) I like it because I’m going under a lot of stress lately, and I want to share you with you, why I didn’t write a post last week. And why I’m not writing one this week too. I have lots of drafts, but I couldn’t finish a single one for many reasons. And as I usually do the advice part, today I need yours. So lets sit down and talk!
Blog Theme
The reason I’m looking for a new theme, that free themes just like the one I have now, is lacking support. Therefore, whenever I want to add extra feature, things happen. I always reach my brother, and friends to help me. But I don’t want to do that forever. So I’m searching for a new one. I know looking for a good theme is not a rocket science,but my problem is, what kind of theme should I choose to show my personality. I do love funky themes, classic themes, and I find minimal themes classy. And of course, the annual pay is one of my restrictions.
Food photography
Photography isn’t a thing I do all the time, but my husband do! And he is brilliant and talented really, and the best thing is he let me use his professional camera. But to have good quality photos, you need daylight most of the time, or even shoot outside. And still I’m not sure the mood I want to to go for. I always read some tips here and there, but am still not able to master it. And still feel uncomfortable, because my photos aren’t perfect, or at least not what I want them to look like.
My baby
Babies need a great deal of time and can cause a lot of stress on moms, especially before they become two years old. and the bond between mother n baby, has a great impact on baby’s life socially, and intelligently. and of course like any mother I want the best for my baby! He is growing up, and needs more from me (time and attention) That’s whats make me distracted most of the time, and can’t set a time to write.
Moving
I’ll move to a bigger apartment (Almost a House) tomorrow, and that’s need a lot of work. And am bit intimidated of the bigger space, lots of works to do! So wish me luck! Tips are more than welcome!
Finally, I might be little obsessed with my blog, because from the beginning I didn’t have a clear vision of what I was looking for. I wanted a personal blog, and an outlet for myself. But, on the other hand, I wanted to update my knowledge in nutrition. The blog helped me a lot, to stay on track, especially being unemployed right now. But from now on I know what I want this blog to be!
If you are a blogger, how do you handle these stuff? How do you manage time between kids, home and blog? I would love to hear your experience, and I’m looking for more support, so I’ll appreciate it, if you do share this post!
