I loved this quote from a fellow 'small' blogger, overheard at the recent BlogHer event in NYC:
"I think maybe if you have a small blog you have a tendency to think it’s because you’re [too] lazy [to have a 'big' one,] but maybe it’s quite the opposite. Maybe your blog is small because you’re busy living. You’re throwing parties for your kids, but not so your blogging community is impressed by it. You’re living the life other people are just trying to document."
I loved this! (Stolen from It is Tuesday, right??)
I don't think there are 'small' blogs or 'small' bloggers... Just people living amazing lives that we are lucky enough to get a small window into.
Love you all!

This site is for all punky and rock and roll moms, whether or not you: *Drive a minivan but wish it was a 69' Mustang *Listen to kidzbop but wish it was KISS *Wear Crocs even though you wish they were Converse (or some funky Christian Louboutin pumps :) *Wear your hair in a pony tail but wish is was all pomp'd up ...Or you still do these things and rock out like a true punk rock mom! All moms are welcome! :)

Thank you for sharing this. I love it and think there is some truth behind it. Not to take away from the 'big bloggers'. I often wonder how some of them find the time...anyway, I'm babbling. Thanks. That's really what I wanted to say! :)
ReplyDeleteOh HAI!!!! I am famous! heh heh
ReplyDeleteI am so tickled you linked to me...
must return the favor!
Ok, now I am off to read about the photo contest...hmmmmm...
Happy ICLW, I am glad you found me so I could find you!
Woo!
Hey! I want to post pics on my photo blog, but we have had computer issues and I get so damn sidetracked by other blog stuff! I am now motivated to find a way to make it happen, and I also will stop by Tuesday...hopefully I can participate!
ReplyDeleteLove that quote! Thanks for posting it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome you guys! :D I love all you guys and your blogs rock!
ReplyDelete@Katey, I'm flattered that you're flattered! LOL! Love your blog and I love red heads too! So much so that I try to imitate them every 6-8 weeks! LOL!
Hope you all can stop by Tuesday and view the pix, and enter if you'd like! :)
@Penny- I totally agree with you! Not trying to take away from the big bloggers- they are truly awesome! But sometimes it's nice to have some encouragement that you aren't crappy- just busy! :D
Nice quote. I like having a small blog because then I can keep up with the people who read my blog and get to know them and their stories. Wow, you're getting to be pretty big with over 100 followers! Liked your pictures of Washington. I used to live there, too, in Bellevue and Pullman.
ReplyDeleteloved this quote! Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteJust popping by to say howdy! Yes, us "smallies" are the backbone of blogging life. The bigger ones are simply jealous of us.....errr.....yeah. ;D
ReplyDelete@Annie- I agree! It's easier to get to know people with smaller numbers. And I still consider myself small even with 100 followers. I consider myself lucky and blessed to have such great readers and to be able to follow so many awesome bloggers in return! :D
ReplyDelete@Little Momma- you're very welcome my dear!
@Rich- LOL! I agree and love it! All shall be jealous in my presence! LOLOLOL! :D
MaryAnne - I'd love for you to make me one! I have a few started and not sure which way I want to go with it.
ReplyDeleteThat makes total sense, but I have never thought of it that way. How cool! Thanks for sharing :)

OMG, I totally love that! So stealing it.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's the truth - there are days that I'm just too tired to blog, and I don't even have the chiddlers!
Happy ICLW! #164
Beautifully put! Might it also be because "small" bloggers only speak when they really have something important to say? I don't mean that as a slight to big bloggers at all; just that there are people who only choose to comment when something has really made an impact on them. Maybe that's them.

Thanks for sharing that. It can get a little intimidating thinking only about the fact that you have a "small" blog but you're right (or really that persons right...eh. you know what Im sayin). Its cause I'm living my ultra cool, extravagant life. Speaking of...my monkey is calling :o)
ReplyDeleteSo glad this post has bee so well received! I love all of my bloggy friends and it doesn't matter to me how 'big' or 'small' they are. And I love the big bloggers cause I don't know how they do it all! :)
ReplyDeleteBut I have a special place in my heart for all of those guys and gals who take the time to post about amazing and wonderful and heartbreaking and heartfelt and beautiful things happening in their lives.
I love you all!
Don't you change a thing. I love you just the way you are.
<3
Fun blog! I'm your newest follower. Happy ICLW!

Truthfully, I'm far from a punk rock mom, though I have owned Converse sneakers since I was about 12 years old (finding them less comfortable now that my feet changed post-pregnancies). However, I can appreciate that desire to be different; whether in personality, style or substance.
ReplyDeleteI love what you wrote about "small bloggers."
