I’ve been thinking about the direction in which I want to take this blog lately. I’ve spent the past 16 months pouring my heart out on these pages, and it has been wonderful. The process has been enriching for me, and the response that I get from my readers who (WOW) actually come back over and over to read what I have to say each week, is nothing short of amazing.
As my blog has begun to get more and more recognition, I’ve started to receive PR emails from various companies. I’ve been weeding through the pitches and have a few things that I have found to be worth while of our time. Be on the lookout for a giveaway contest on the horizon!
Still, I’m conflicted. This isn’t why I started writing, but at the same time if I want to make something of this little blog I am not ignorant to the fact that a working partnership with these companies is the best way to bring more people to my world. There’s also no denying that the benefits to me, which I always plan to disclose, are actually pretty cool.
So, I’m trying to find a balance both in mind and on page. For those of you who have been reading and commenting for a long time, it is in part because of you that Mom et al has become a blip on the radar. How do you feel if I take a leap and steer this blog in a new direction? I still plan to write about my life and parenting experiences often. Let’s face it, I need it. Would you as a reader enjoy if I started offering contests or product reviews? I would love to hear your thoughts, whatever the responses may be.
