I’ve been blogging for a while now but only started investing and putting time and effort into it 6 months ago. When I had the opportunity to attend a 4 week course on Profitable Blogging by Blogelina. I got a year’s worth of free web hosting and from there purchased a domain for this blog.
I started to have a passion for blogging when I joined a blogging challenge that required me to blog everyday for 1 month. I used to have problems coming up with posts to write about but after the challenge I saw blog inspirations everywhere. I saw inspiration in the places I went to, the food I discovered, the books I read, and the things I do with my family. I also found myself writing and sharing about things I myself would like to know and read about it.
When I started writing posts more often I was able to gain some attention and found myself being invited to events and trying out products. These are great opportunities that I share with my family. I often bring one of my children along and if all my children are welcome I bring all 3. I love that I get to blog and enjoy it with my family.
I have so much more to learn and the blogging community has been a kind one. I’ve met fellow mommy bloggers who are just like me fitting in their blogging between children and working at home.
Though I enjoy blogging, I still consider it as part of working at home. I invest money, time and effort to maintain it but because I enjoy it so much it doesn’t feel like “work”. I would honestly do it for free because I love that I get to attend events, meet new people and write all about it.
If you need some blog inspirations, try a self 30 day blogging challenge. It also helps to make a list of the things you enjoy and then make a list of what you want to share with others (things you would also like to learn as well).
My list would include:
- Food- new restaurants, promos
- Books- books I loved as a child, books my children love
- Places to Go- for me and my husband, for the children, for the entire family
Once you put your thoughts down you’ll be able to see topics you can write about. As much as possible try and set aside time to write. A blog calendar also helps to plan posts. Mine is an ordinary excel file that has a calendar format. I get inspired to write more when I see so many posts that I have planned.
What inspires you to blog? I’d love to hear about it and any suggestions you may have on blog inspirations.

I’ve only recently just been active in blogging though I’ve had the blog for a couple of years already. There are times indeed when I’m at a loss for topics to write. I will try your 30 day blogging challenge.
I also took blogging a bit more seriously since last year. I really love it and although we’re enjoying the freebies for the family, it’s really more that it’s become my outlet and recreation. I’ve not ventured into earning from it financially yet, though.I’m exploring that part.

Blogging is a hobby for me, for now
I can’t do any blog challenges since I don’t have so much time. I have better love on reading than writing too. That’s why I spend more time reading your blog and other mom’s blogs 
But blogging keeps me sane and picks me out of the monotony of what I do. I write when I am in the mood, and if I think that something is worthwhile sharing with other people. So goodluck on your blog and my blog too!

What inspire me to blog are my motherhood sentiments. My blog is also my creative outlet because I like to write poems and draw.

I started blogging January this year. Kapag sa una super excited ka talaga then the following days parang wala ka maisip na mai-blog but you still want to post one. Maganda talaga yung nagbblog ka ng kung ano talaga yung gusto mong sabihin o i-share kasi mas marami kang nasasabi. Okay rin yung may timetable ka at planner para may maisulat ka naman for the coming days. Goodluck and happy blogging!
I remembered having written random facts about myself. It was a road to self discovery. All my random facts, were not so random, after all. It turned out that everything about me, whether trivial, sentimental and those I hold precious, were tied to one unifying theme -I love being Filipino, my roots as a Filipino. So every time I write blog posts, I would get inspiration from my being Pinoy.
Nakakatuwa naman yung self-discovery by Blogging. Sana ako din. My blog is just month old and I use it more as an online diary. The 30 day Challenge is a nice tip. I’ll try that soon.

I started my blog just this in May. My inspiration in blogging was my son and also i blog what i like but just a hobby. I would like to try to blogging as a financial earning for me and my son.
Anything that sparks interest can be blogged..and it helps with the stress..
I don’t manage to blog that often - and then sometimes I’d have two or more consecutive posts in as many days - so it’s all erratic for now, hindi ko kaya 30-day challenge, ha ha! But I’ve found that it helps to always jot down ideas or inspirations the moment they occur to you - on a piece of paper, on your phone’s notes app, anywhere really, just capture that idea before you forget about it! Later on, when you have time to sit down and flesh out a post, you won’t be starting from scratch
I just go back to blogging last year. It serves as my online journal as a mom, wife and woman. I love sharing my new experiences for food, travel and baby products. I love being a Mommy blogger.
Anything that you want to share, and when it’s written from the heart could be an inspiration or motivation to someone. It helps us to connect to like-minded individuals!

My blog was mainly a diary of a struggling mom with her two toddlers. It was also my avenue of sharing to people my adventures and misadventures, tips, travels and the like. Since then, I get invited to events and I can enjoy them as a family.

I started blogging a year ago but only became active in the past months. What inspires me to blog are experiences as a mother that I feel would be helpful to other first-time moms like me. I am looking into expanding the list of topics I write about as I have people reaching out to me for collaborations. I will try the 30 day blogging challenge! Thanks for sharing!
My blog inspirations come from people. I write about our daily life. I also might have been inspired more by other blogs I read (I actually like US-based mom blogs for some reason), which leads me to come up with some thoughts that I need to write about.

Hi Mommy Louisa! Blogging/Writing for me is a form of recreation too. Kasi, I get to be “me” or relax and share my sentiments with others. It inspires more if I see people commenting, lalo na if the topic is sacred to me, like parenthood. I love to share my experiences sa mga restaurants, homeschooling, relationships and recipes na I know mums would like, lalo na kapag pag 30 minutes lang pwede na hehehe.. I write about anything, depende sa mood ko..:) I’d like to challenge myself, but with the many hats I wear,parang di ko pa kaya.. Enjoy your blogging moments and nice meeting!

I’m mostly inspired by the WAHMs in the US who get to homeschool their children. I actually work in the IT industry and I think it’s much easier to find an online job in that field but I feel I have more passion in writing. I hope my blog could become something big, too. Good luck to us!

I can relate to this though I am still skeptical if I should migrate from blogspot to my own domain. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Be disciplined. Follow your writing schedule. Write everyday. How I wish I could follow these writing tips. Blogging has revived my love for writing. It also opened new friendship bonds with fellow mom bloggers. Thanks to your post, I realized that I need to review my writing and blogging goals for 2014. I still have four months to work on my targets.

I have a lot of things in mind before that I wanted to share but due to lack of time I can’t. Only those events that I am covering. I actually joined a daily writing challenge for 250-300 words/per day but stopped since I got too busy. How I wish I could write at least one blog per day
Blogging is serious work, no doubt about that but I find it one of the most fulfilling aspects of my life.

I work as an SEO writer for years and done work for a PR company and also for a local newspaper but I most enjoy blogging much. I can express my own feelings without thinking that maybe my editor will make it thrash. In blog writing nothing is a thrash everything you say and think is right! Thanks fellow mommies for your beautiful insights and blogs I was able to talk to fellow bloggers virtually. Exchange of idea is always a healthy talks.
I started to blog 2 years ago but only started to “really blog” just this year. For me, it’s an outlet to express my thoughts, my feelings, my inspirations. I also consider it as my “me time!”

My main goal in blogging is to capture my family’s adventures that I can always look back into. I’m happy that some of my posts help my readers in some way. I just wish I could blog more often and regularly. Been too busy with work and our household. See you around! Happy blogging!
