Another Tuesday... and another chance to introduce my friends to each other. If you have not met Susi from Boca Frau yet, you are missing out on a lot!!
I met Susi because she hopped over from Hilary's. It turned out that she and Hilary are actually friends in 'real' life and Susi is a new blogger - but you would NEVER know it - she figured this stuff out very quickly - in fact when I first went to her blog I had no idea she had just started it! I love the fact that she posts things about her family and that she is from Germany! And now she is a new American Citizen --- Yay!!! we are all so proud of her! . . . So when you are done checking out the spotlight.... go on over to her Boca Frau and check her out.
How long have you been blogging?
My first post was on October 7th, 2011. So for about 3 months now. I'm a newbie!!!
How did you come up with the name of your blog?
Actually, the hubby came up with the final name. We were throwing things around and I just couldn't make a decision. I wanted to combine with where I am now with where I came from.
What do you normally blog about?
I guess, I'm what you would call a mommy blogger. I am a mom. I blog... about the kids, the hubby, the pets and family life.
Anything that goes on in my life and around me.
How many hours a day/week do you spend on your blog?
Way too much time. And I enjoy every minute of it, except when I can't figure out what to write.
I would say I spend about 2 hours a day on my blog and commenting and reading others. Sometimes more...
You could say I've developed a slight addiction!!!
What is that attracts you to other people's blogs?

What is that attracts you to other people's blogs?
It's different. I guess, sometimes it's the writing, sometimes it's humor, sometimes it's a picture that pulls me in.
I can't really put it into words... either I like it or I don't. It's really as simple as that.
What makes you run for the hills?
Overload. If it's too overwhelming to make sense of what's even on a page. I don't like to wade through a lot of stuff.
What is your favorite part about blogging?
I love interacting with all the other bloggers. I love it when someone comments on my blog. It's just incredible how many people you "meet" and how different, yet alike we all are.
Your least favorite?
Trying to figure out what to write about. If I should write something or not. And also, finding the time to write.
With three kids running around it's not always easy to sit down and let everything else disappear.
Have you ever posted something and then later regretted putting it up?
I can't say I have. I'm still finding my way in this blogosphere and I take one day at a time.
Anything you would like to add?
I just would like to say a big "Thank you." to you for doing a Tuesday Spotlight on me. I feel like in this short amount of time I've been blogging that I have been embraced by some great bloggers. I also would like to give a shout-out to Hilary at Feeling Beachie for being such a big help to this newbie. And of course I'd like to thank each and every one of you who read my posts.
Great Spotlight Brenda. I found Susi's blog a while back and love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tami!
Deletehow wonderful to see a newbie - although you are right, she hardly seems new at this - like Susi here! Hers is one of my newest bloggy must reads!
ReplyDeleteSeriously - - I'm not sure we can really call her a newbie!
DeleteGreat spotlight!!! I agree with you guys, while susi may only be at this a short time, she is far from a newbie! And thanks for the shout outs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilary... and sometimes I wonder what we all did before we found you!! hee hee hee.....
Deleteoh, how sad that time was :)
DeleteLOL
DeleteYou guys are just too great for words...Thank you all so much. I have a huge smile on my face right now. :) And, thanks again, Brenda... I truly appreciate it!!! Hilary, you will always be the one that got me going and I will forever be grateful for all your help!!!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh Susi... I'm shuffling my feet right now..... You are so welcome!
DeleteYa I really couldn't tell she was a new blogger either. Finding the right time to write is hard for me also. Great post! : )
ReplyDeletethanks Joseph!
DeleteLove the spotlight on Susi! I found her through Hilary as well and love to read her stories. You are absolutely right, you'd never be able to tell she's only been doing this a few months. You're a natural Susi! Also, very interactive! I love interactive bloggers!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, Thank you! Isn't it the point... to be interactive and "meet" other people and let them know your thoughts??? I have come across some blogs that never reply...I understand it for the big ones that have a gazillion followers... but other than that I get turned off quickly if there is never a reply!
DeleteSusi... that is the point...but there are so many who just don't do it!
