Blogging for Dollars?
My friend, Melissa , recently wrote this post , expressing her frustration with the small circle of bloggers who seem to be getting all the perks. I read it and left a lengthy comment, then realized I had even more to say. So, here it goes. I have been feeling some stress and increasing negativity in bloggyland lately. Unrest among the masses regarding PR, "A List" (whatever that is) Mommy Bloggers, the lack of money in blogging, etc. I've personally considered withdrawing completely and have spoken to a few other bloggers who are also feeling somewhat "disenchanted" with blogging as of late. It seems to have lost its luster. Here is how I see it: You begin blogging for fun. For connections. For camaraderie. You get a few followers and comments. You want more. You begin to see others talking about the free stroller or set of books. You want that too. Then you hear that some are getting to travel, meet with PR firms, speak at conferences. That sounds fun. You won

My kid is huge too.
It's weird that I know the other people in that picture too.
My daughter is bigger than most of her age peers, she is both taller and wider!! lol
He is a cutie!
speaking of your awesome kid...the kid who chose ME to win the Taget card...do you need my address?
send me an email. never2pink at yahoo dot com
But he is a cutie patootie!
On the whole, for boys, I think bigger is better. My older boy was always the tall one, especially after he hit puberty and he always got a lot of positive attention for being tall.
I kid, I kid....
I put a new post up but your updater thing isn't showing it.
Ah well...
Love ya!
Last Sunday my 12 year old was singing with all the other mid high kids at church. He needs a growth spurt - there was over a foot difference between him and the kid next to him - I knew he was shorter than many, but not like that!
Must be all that California sunshine. My oldest is in fifth grade, and just broke the 70 pound mark, much to his dismay. He hates being so small. 50th percentile since he was born. Poor (little) guy.
Maybe we should move...
I think they grow while we have our back turned...I am always shocked when I notice!
Go Flintstones chewables!!
The Boy stands out in a crowd - in a very pleasant and handsome way. All 76 lbs of him.
btw, he is a cutie! :D
You're doing something right.
Just stopping in to say hi. Sorry for being MIA at SITS and here... it's been a crazy few months at work and I've now been sick with one virus after another for over a month and the kiddo has been sick too. Things are still crazy so it might take me awhile yet to be back regularly, but I will be back!
BTW, I'm celebrating 150 Posts with an Award and a Pop'rs Giveaway...please come visit soon!
Follwed you from SITS!
Wouldn't it be nice if we can squish them smaller sometimes so we can keep them li'l forever??
Make it a great day
My 8 year old daughter is barely 57 lbs. But that's a good thing for girls...
And thanks to SITS for the prod into the open letter.
This kid is gonna be Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome.. that or the best darn linebacker in the league! GOOD JOB!!!!!!!
