I love seeing pictures of your sweet family. It's hard to do everything, I totally agree. Tim bought me a great little camera for my birthday last year so I would actually keep the camera on hand and use it (and toss it, gently of course, into my purse and take it with me during the day). So far it looks like he made a good choice. I think you are right, as well, about the connecting aspect of blogs for moms. I've been finding more and more communities of blogging mommys. Interesting to explore that world. I have been on a homeschooling e-mail loop for over 7 years now and it is definitely a community. Thanks for sharing! I so enjoy hearing from people and I LOVE connecting with you! Rachel - you have posted pictures on your blog so I know you can do it. I love seeing pictures of your sweet family.

You are funny, interesting, and think of lots of different things to talk about in an entertaining manner. But I think moms mostly read to feel connected, so I'd say the relevance, empathy, reality, and frequency are probably the most important just for blogging moms. The political, etc. ones aren't so interesting to me. And who likes sports ones? :) I love all your pictures, but I just don't get around to taking them and have never figured out how to transfer from the camera to a blog. Sigh.

Does that mean we are shallow, easily distracted people? How many blogs do you think you read a day? Do you keep up with all the blogs from the loop? Technology is very cool! We had some actual sunshine today so hopefully your dh is having decent weather. How long will he be in town?

Like you, I also find photos a necessity to keep my interest, although I enjoy reading the text also. I suppose it's because I read the personal blogs, and that would include, well, PERSONAL pictures! My dh is in your neck of the woods this week, visiting his mom in Port Orchard. We tracked him via flight tracker, then the Seatac cam, then the Fauntleroy ferry cam (where he stood outside so we could actually see him!), and then to the Southworth ferry cam. I love this technology, and I was glad for my dh that there was no rain today!
