I totally understand what you are saying, especially the line on Bloggers primarily blogging for themselves, that’s very true. When I started to blog I wanted everyone to know about it and though its remained with my friends and family, I do wish I could go and anonymously vent every so often. Really love your blog and all the things that you share…

100% agreement here. It’s our blog & we have the right to disclose or not whatever we want. It ends up in cyberspace forever, so I think you’re being wise.

Yes, I agree friend! I never want to say negative things about any of my boys, Hubby included! I’ll say the boys were sleepy or rambunctious but I LOVE everything about all my boys, why would I want to tear them down or let them read those things like you said when they get older, they need to be built up, and it is a wonderful thing for us to be able to do. I feel so bad for blogging friends who have been attacked, there is no need for that at all! It doesn’t make sense to me that if someone doesn’t like reading something, they don’t just move on and read something else. I have to say that I have to check myself every now and then to make sure that I am blogging for me/us and not for anyone else. And when I do that, it makes me feel so much better about things that might have gotten me down, or thinking about how or what I’m posting about, while reminding myself to just be thankful for anyone else who wants to read and follow along and think about those who aren’t or aren’t anymore (makes me feel bad, hello insecurity ). I love your honesty and posts, all of them. Don’t change a thing mama!

Thanks for this post! I recently started my blog and I struggled with how much to share. Lately, I’ve been contemplating whether or not I’ve been open enough on my blog, but this post helps reassure me that I should stick with my initial instinct on keeping it somewhat private.

I was just directed to you after tweeting that I am considering posting a scathing blog about people who are abusing my formspring page and asking incredibly rude questions over and over again.

You are far more eloquent than I am at the moment. I should take a cue from you and dial it down and really explain it. Thanks for this post…it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Incredibly well said! I sometimes wish I’d kept my blog anonymous and from my family so that I could vent. On the other hand, I enjoy the feeling of being a person with a name to me 14 (wooo!) readers. But I completely agree that my blog is my scrapbook, and it is a sacred thing to all of us.

Just wanted to say that you do a REALLY good job of balancing your personal life with what you put on the blog, in my opinion.

Totally off the subject, but I’m assuming being the planner you are, you are probably already cooking up ideas for Hudson’s first birthday party. Anything you want to share? I can’t wait to see what you put together!
