I use to post one a day or more, but I got burned out. I post a few a week, this week will be a little more because I am going to be catch up. But, what I enjoy doing most is blogging the stories of my life, things we do, how I feel. Those are the types of posts I like and who knows, in the long run I might get out of review posts all together. I really like forming relationships with my readers, visiting their blogs, leaving comments. I have created many great friendships with other bloggers, some I have met, others who knows, maybe one day I will meet. As far as paid posts, I do them. I have only wrote approx 4 paid posts. I do not take every single one that is thrown my way. Yesterday I was offered 9. I accepted 0. They have to be relevant to my blog and I have to really like the company that offers them. I am not going to sell out to something I do not believe in or feel my readers would be interested in. Paid posts do help. I can use the money and you have learned, blogging can be expensive. Good luck, I hope your blog brings you what you are looking for, but most importantly, I hope you enjoy it. I will tell you, hosting reviews and giveaways can become exhausting.

You have so much going on. I know I wouldn't be able to handle it, especially with a little bitty baby like you have (and I'm about to). I love your blog, and not just for the giveaways! Good luck getting the PR people to go away. Joking. Who doesn't love the PR people, right? Hmmm. Maybe *that's* the joke. I'm never really sure, when it comes to PR. I have noticed, MommyB!

I hear you with the reviews and giveaways. I kind of got sucked in by the glitz of it all and now I'm just trying to keep my head above the water with all of the products I've received. I don't know if you've noticed but I miss blogging about fun things, tips, and life in general, so I'm slowly trying to get back to more of that and less reviews and giveaways, to make it more of an even balance. Of course I have my family blog too, so that takes up time as well. Oh if there were only more hours in the day and I could start over. I'm excited for you though and can't wait to see where this blog goes!! xo Hooray for your new blog, I’m so excited for you and to see what you have in store for readers.

More than one review or giveaway a week and I feel dirty. LOL. There's nothing wrong with that kind of blog, but it's not the direction I really want to take right now. Jody, I’m in the same boat.

I think it is great that you do not let blogging take over your life and I like this post! For me I really like posting reviews/giveaways only one day each week because I do not want my blog to just be a billboard (with the exception of this week of course - I decided to do a week of giveaways to try to get more traffic...seems many people are on holiday and not commenting as much). I have enjoyed getting to know you on twitter - and again, I wish you the best of Luck! I'm always here to support YOU! PS. If you really find a way to make some pennies - let me in on it. I refuse to post ugly/not family friendly ads which makes earning money harder :( (hugs) Jody Oh Cindy,
