You know what, many people ask me this question. When I first started I was a little embarrassed to find out that friends and family had been reading my blog. But I guess that’s a contradiction in my part, my blog is open for all and even though back then I had a slight reservation on who actually read my rants, there was also a slight feeling of gratification that my views and thoughts were shared amongst people I know. The same goes for my other readers who can probably relate to my posts.

So why do I blog? I saw this post on ‘It’s a Mummys Life’ and I thought what a great idea! An entry to explain to all my readers why the heck do I choose to air my views out there for all to see. I guess it’s no different than social networking, but a more detailed insight to my personal life.

Firstly, blogging keeps me sane! I have so much thoughts, ideas, stories to share that it frustrates the hell out of me. As a little girl, I’ve always loved writing a diary and when I got older, my thoughts made more sense and it’s been a great outlet to be able to ‘write’ it down and to find people who shared the same experiences and stories that I have.

I have children! I’m married!  They drive me insane! This is the only way I can rant and rave without interruptions.

I enjoy reading back what I’ve posted during the years, some entries make me cringe and some make me smile. They also make me appreciate the people I have in my life and memories that I have experienced during the years.

So for the FIVE words that sums up my blogging philosophy and what motivates me to do what I do : HUMOUR, FAMILY, INSPIRATION, SARCASM and SANITY.

I’m going to leave this open to anyone who wants to do it and of course here are the important rules:

1. Thank the blogger who awarded it to you.

2. Sum up your blogging philosophy, motivation, and experience using five words.

3. Pass it on to some other blogs which you feel have real substance

I would like to pass it on to the following bloggers with substance:

I’ll be Francoise

Me, the man and the baby

Hulatallulah

Ms Ray

Prooky
