I really enjoy blogging. It's not about the pageviews or number of followers. At the end of the day when everyone is asleep
Although I must confess, I rarely tell people about my blog. My family, however, tells everyone. My sister (hi, sis) put it on her facebook and when I saw her post I buried my head in a pillow. I don't tell friends because I wouldn't have much to talk to them about if they read my blog daily. I can hear the conversations now:
"I saw that you went to the beach."
"Yep. Noah fell asleep and..."
"Read that."
Which is why I don't spend much time on Facebook. I like to hear it from people. I'm not referring to the "I'm folding 5 loads of laundry" posts (do they think people want to know that?), it's the milestone posts that I try to avoid reading. I'd rather share the joy with the person in person. I hate that many conversations start with "Did you see my post about...."
Well, this really went a different direction than I was planning. What I'm trying to say is -
To my readers, thanks. I'm glad that you are here. I hope I inspire you in some way. Also, a big Thank You to Kortney from Korntey's Krazy Life for awarding me with the Butterfly Award. You made my week :)
And to my stalker who googles "Amanda Gardner blog" several times a day - HI! bwahaha.
It's probably my mom.
Hi, mom.
Wow, How do you have over a thousand pageviews a day!! The most I've ever had is 400.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to soo much of this post!
ReplyDelete1) I rarely tell anybody about my blog. My family never even looks at it!
2) FB is... well... interesting haha
Congrats on your accomplishments!
That is really great, I don't even break 100 page views a day :( One day... I love your blogs!
ReplyDeletei was featured at a couple places yesterday - lately I've been getting between 300-500 daily. Coley - I love your comments. They always make me smile.
ReplyDeleteGratefulmama - your blog is adorable, as are your children.
I feel you. A few of my friends who are loyal readers keep posting about me on their facebook pages and I cringe every time.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on that milestone!
