Question and Answer Session

There has been many people who have asked me a series of questions since I got wrapped up in this whole blog world.  I decided now was as good of a time as any to share the answers with you.

Question 1: How did you get involved in blogging?

Answer: In truth I actually decided to create a free website page first many years ago. That led to my interest in actually playing around with making websites. I honestly made several sites long before this one came about.

Question: Have you had any other blogs besides this one?

Answer: I use to blog on Sparkpeople.com when I was a die-hard weight loss fanatic. I gained a large following on there. At the time I was writing those posts, I was going through my custody case with my oldest daughter and also dealing with the fact that my mom was dying of cancer. I use to pour my heart out on that blog. There was some posts that I can remember writing while tears were falling all over my face.  (Just a side note: That site will always hold a near and dear place in my heart because it did help me lose weight. The most important thing I gained from that site though was the support and friendship of many people. If I had more time, I do declare I’d be very active on it.)

Question: Do you spend a lot of time on it in order to gain so much from it in products and money?

Answers: I do spend a good 40 plus hours a week on my blogging ventures. I do see a lot of benefits from my time spent on it. I wouldn’t trade it. It has become a wonderful hobby. I do long for it to be more than just a hobby. That’s why I’m in an Internship that is kicking my tail end from one end to the other. Yet, I know if I survive it I’ll be a stronger blogger and may even get on the track I long to be on.

Question: How does your family feel about you spending so much time on the computer?

Answer: I’ve tried to choose products to review that my family would enjoy reviewing. I’ve even tried to get my friends products that they can have fun reviewing as well. For me, I gain a lot of pleasure out of writing and interacting on the social media networks. I personally review the majority of the books, movies, and kitchen stuff I get. I hope to one day get into the technology world more. I also desperately want to get into the video game world since everyone in our family is HUGE video gamers!! My family loves the fact that I blog. In fact, they are quick to give me topics to cover when I run out of them. That’s why I made sure I kept this blog niche free!

Do you have any questions for me that I didn’t answer??

Please ask them!!! I’m an open book. I’d love to know what interests you!!!

I'm Crystal. I'm married to Dale, and mother to Johnny. Some might say that my life is perfect because I get to do all the cliché wife things like cooking, cleaning, and decorating - but there's more! I also have many hobbies including needlework (crochet), sewing, and reading. My son's education is important, so we homeschool him together.

  1. I always love to read how others got into blogging. So many people don’t realize just how many hours it does really take 🙂

    • Thanks for stopping by and commenting! Yes, I agree with you no one fully realizes how much is involved in becoming a blogger that is well known. I get so many people who laugh at me when I say I’m a full time blogger. It amazes me considering how popular it has become.
