How has blogging changed your life?

March 8, 2013

I always laugh at the commercial where the wife is saying “no” to everything, especially the part where her husband asks if he can quit his day job to start a blog. I have a feeling my husband would say “no” to that one too. 

But the truth is, my blog is kind of like a job now. Except I can do it in my pajamas in the middle of the night, or on my exercise bicycle in sweats, or on my laptop in the car while my chauffeur husband drives me around. The best part of blogging isn’t the hours though, it’s the networking and connections I’m making with other bloggers. It is truly changing my life. Don’t worry, I’m not going to get too sappy on you. =) However, I am linking up with one of my favorite craft bloggers, Mandy, at Sugar Bee Crafts for her linky party.

Sugar Bee Crafts Blog 
Professionally, blogging has improved my teaching. I started this adventure because I loved being a third grade teacher and was excited to share what we were doing in our classroom. This was before Pinterest exploded and blogs were the primary source of sharing. Even more than I love sharing what we’re doing at school, I love reading what YOU‘RE doing at school. It’s the best professional development I’ve ever had, and it’s free! 

Personally, blogging has brought me so many new friendships. I love my internet teacher friends! We are such a strong, caring, supportive community of women (with a few standout gentlemen in our ranks too!). When one of us is having a rough day, we have an entire cheering section behind us. Whether we need resources for a lesson or just an understanding ear, my amazing bloggy friends are near and dear to my heart. I look forward to our schedule meet-ups!
Finally, financially this little blog of mine is helping out my family. Blogging isn’t a “get rich quick” hobby, but the little bit of extra income I make through this adventure has been a true blessing to my family. As the sole paycheck in our family right now, my school check can feel a little tight. Knowing that my hard work can provide a little safety net to our family is the icing on the cake. 
I‘m wondering how blogging {or blog stalking even!} has changed YOUR life. You can link up with us over at Sugar Bee Crafts or leave a comment here. I’d love to hear from you!

    I have found so many wonderful ideas by following teacher blogs!!! Today, I did two ideas that I found on blogs last night:) I forgot to take pictures of what we did when I was at school today so I will post them next week. I love how teachers are out there and want to help each other! When I first started teaching a little over 10 years ago, it was basically the teacher store and seeing what your colleagues in your school were doing (I don't remember finding a whole lot of the web), and now…so many ideas, so little time! 🙂

      Yes, it's easy to lose track of time on here because there are so many great ideas. 🙂

    I too believe blogging has made me a better teacher. I learn so much from all the amazing teacher bloggers who share their ideas. It also provides such a fantastic support network. I can't wait to come home and tell my blogger friends about new ideas and what's happening at school. Blogging has been such a blessing!

      I couldn't agree more. The support network is the best part!

    Hello! I have been following you for awhile, but I just found you on the Blog By State Linky. I am also a Teacher Blogger from Indiana! I love reading your ideas and hope we can collaborate in the future.

    Hi, i agree with you that blogging has helped me to try to be better at certain things- I am getting things organized around the house just so I feel justified when talking about it to others- kind of like a cath -22….just saying hi from Joy and gladness!
