My dad ...My family has always known about the blog. My dad will actually call me weekly and ask why I haven't updated my blog. He says he doesn't know what's going on in my life if I don't update. So, I try to tell him over the phone and he says he doesn't want to talk on the phone, he wants to read it. I think he has a bit too much time on his hands. <br /><br />It took me forever to tell my in-laws though. I don't really write about anything I wouldn't want them to see but they can be pretty critical so I chose to keep it a secret for a long time.

So no, some of my friends and family members wouldn't be too joyful as to why I do this. I do know hubby loves it because it keeps me creative and sane. I write boring reports for work, so this is the only time i get to write for fun and for me!<br /><br /><a href="http://andiestravelingpants.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Andie's Traveling Pants</a>Andiepantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14250772812867232700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652844873897615049.post-61390363413101358602014-07-02T16:07:34.644-05:002014-07-02T16:07:34.644-05:00I have to be honest, the majority of my family and...I have to be honest, the majority of my family and friends do not know about my blog. :) Every year, I slowly tell a few people about it though, so eventually everyone will know. Ha, ha. But right now, it's mostly just a few close friends and my immediate family that know about it. I just feel weird telling people that I personally know to read a blog all about... me. And I also feel awkward when I get silly on my blog or write about more personal things. It just feels 'safer' to not have everyone know... but I think I do need to change that at some point. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652844873897615049.post-76087302300042381702014-07-01T15:46:27.453-05:002014-07-01T15:46:27.453-05:00I always walk that fine line with my friends/famil...I always walk that fine line with my friends/family about telling them about goings ons in my life because I assume they do read the blog and maybe don't want to hear it again.

See it's on my 30-by-30 to meet up with a blogger friend who I haven't already met in person. And I'll be in OKC for a wedding on the weekend of 8/30...so if schedules align, maybe we could meet??

(My family just don't have a choice usually. ha!)<br /><br />I always thought my family would read my blog a lot, but I think it's mostly just Tyler's family and then a few friends who I don't really see in real life anymore that just see my posts on facebook. Sometimes it's weird how they still know a lot about you, but since they don't blog you don't get to know quite as much about their lives anymore. <br /><br />I'm always feel like I have to censor some posts since his family DOES read it, because they're the type that pretty much think that any information you put out about yourself on the internet is bad - because obviously someone's going to come break into my house now or start stalking me. But they understand that I enjoy it and usually don't say anything...I just know they think it, especially of posts that take place at my house of decorations and that type of thing.Saxon @ Lets Drink Coffee, Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12422781928035533538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652844873897615049.post-5025589035535175752014-06-29T17:21:07.905-05:002014-06-29T17:21:07.905-05:00Oh my gosh, girl, my aunts were SO excited to be i...Oh my gosh, girl, my aunts were SO excited to be in the post! I love it.<br /><br />And so interesting (and sad) about your #4! I wonder what she meant by that. Like, none of her friends asked or family how she was? I actually have gotten that a little, where people are like, "yeah I read about that on your blog," but MOST of the time they still want to hear from me and they ask about stuff. But wow that is sad and something I should make sure to be aware of. I know I joked in my post about not having to do small talk (which is nice), but I would be sad if no one actually asked me how I was doing because they knew from the blog. I mean, there's a ton of stuff I don't put on the blog that no one would know if they didn't ask....The Lady Okiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453607710629077945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652844873897615049.post-2530010116416199902014-06-29T17:14:44.627-05:002014-06-29T17:14:44.627-05:00That's hilarious!

That is super fun that your family keeps up with your blog. <br /><br />3. I'm sometimes shy about telling my family all about my blog. For starters, a lot of my family is super busy and the second part I'll tell you in person =)<br /><br />4. I had a friend that had a huge blog and she finally quit, for several reasons, but one of them being that no one ever stopped to ask her how she was anymore because they read all about her on her blog. I thought that was interesting and I felt bad for her at the same time.

They all know I blog because I talk about blog friends who I'm now real life friends with so that's cool, but they don't read it. I post my blog stuff on Twitter, but none of my family follows me except my brother and I know he doesn't read it. But some of my friends do, more than I realize--I got a tweet a few weeks ago from a friend from my church camp who said she loves my fitness blog because it inspires her to work hard and she knows she can do it!! That made me happy :)<br /><br />I guess if (slash when...ooo spoiler alert!!!) I move away, I'll post more of my day to day stuff so my family can keep up with me more, so I probably will share more stuff then and encourage them to read it. But now, I don't feel like my mundane life deserves to be noted more than I already do, haha.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12074673520731619399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652844873897615049.post-51546778796560828332014-06-28T11:22:40.817-05:002014-06-28T11:22:40.817-05:00One of my best friends recently emailed telling me...One of my best friends recently emailed telling me how she always reads my blog at works because she is so bored there and I was like o yeah making people unbored at work my job is done!Bailie @ The Hemborg Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723431374621324385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652844873897615049.post-60849594537364630022014-06-27T23:28:42.647-05:002014-06-27T23:28:42.647-05:00Haha!!
