"My
blog is purely for fun. I based my blog's name
(Married to the Empire) on my husband's unusual
hobby: dressing up as a stormtrooper from Star Wars.
The closest thing I have to a blog theme is posting
about the various charity functions and other events
my husband and the other stormtroopers participate
in. Otherwise, my site is just about my life in
general, which can be anything from typical SAHW
(stay-at-home-wife) stuff to youth work to time
spent with friends. It's just a fun way for me to
keep friends and family update-to-date on our lives,
and it's opened the doors for meeting new people
online. " ~ Anne Marie (http://marriedtotheempire.blogspot.com)
"Great topic! I am also a big fan of Money Saving Mom! I started a blog about a year ago. My blog focus is on stewardship and is called "With All that I've Been Given. I love blogging! I have met many wonderful people through this community, and am daily challenged and inspired. As a stay at home mom, it's been so valuable to find this network of other women. I have considered using my blog to make money. However, since I try to encourage simplicity and to de-emphasize material goods, it does not 'jive' with me to ask others to purchase products on my blog. I also prefer the clean look of blogs without advertising, even more so when you have little control over the ad content. In the future, I might consider pursuing an avenue where I could be paid for writing, but right now I'm having fun just posting what is on my heart and mind." ~ Carrie "Just wanted to share my own website with you called 'Precious Balance.' We have 4 daughters. When one of my daughters was 10 years old, she developed a rare swallowing disorder called achalasia where she lacks movement in her esophagus. She often vomits at meals and it takes her a very long time to eat. The Lord has been very gracious during this past 9 years but one thing that was extremely beneficial to my daughter was getting her hair tested to see what minerals she was deficient in and if she was toxic in anything. That way instead of wasting money trying this supplement and that supplement, we knew exactly what her body needed. She became a lot stronger and I thought, 'I need to help people with this.' Most people do not know the benefit of this test. It is better than a blood test because if you get new hair growth, it represents about 2 or 3 months so you get a better picture of what is going on in your cells. Anyway, I have had about 2,000 visitors to our site and seen others helped . One baby was in the hospital very sick and it was a joy to see how much things had improved when the parents tested his hair for the second time. There is a sample hair test on the website and more info if your are interested." ~ Francine Editor's Note: Thanks to all these readers who took time to write! |
