On Tuesday, Jenna's topic was to share why we started our blog. In July, 2010 I came across a blog called The Sullengers - it had hit facebook because they little 2 year old daughter was fighting for her life after a near drowning incident. As I saw photos of that little girl laying in a hospital bed, it broke my heart because she reminded me so much of my own little 2 year old boy at the time. I was beyond heardbroken for the family when I logged in one day to find that little Preslee had passed away. After realizing how much Ashely's blog had touched me I realized that maybe I had something that would impact someone else. I did a lot of thining about the title of my blog and, after being asked what I did for a living by someone and having no answer other than "Ummm . .I don't work" . . "The Unworking Mom" was born. The topics of my blog change - I enjoy sharing things we do as a family, Craft ideas that I find AND actually complete, recipes, homeschool ideas and books that I'm reading. Writing a blog is sometihng I really enjoy for me personally - it is my "adult conversation" some days in the midst of toddler fun!
On Wednesday, the topic was our media useage - I am only on facebook. I don't tweet or do any other social networking. Personally, I enjoy facebook a lot - it keeps me connected to family and friends and I love just reading what people are up to. I'm also an big fan of Amazon because I love to find free books for my Kindle. And yes, I greatly enjoy Pinterest. I tend to be a fast pinner, meaning I just pin ideas that catch my eye, and then I go back later and look at things - sometimes deleting them because they aren't good for various reasons.
Normally on Thursdays I post about the books I've read in the last week or that I am currently reading but . . .I figured I would answer a couple of these questions today instead. Next week I plan to get back to my normal Book post :-)
