tutu bug Shout Out

This week I want to introduce you to a bloggy friend of mine over at Knit in Pajamas.  Like me, Margo is a stay-at-home mom with her own little crafty business on the side.  She knits beautiful scarves, hats, and headbands in ALL shapes, colors and sizes, while taking care of twin 1 year old boys!!  Holy moly, I have two boys and I can't imagine going through simultaneous diaper changing, teething, potty training, Dr appointments, tantrums, food chucking (I swear I had to use splat mats under my kids' high chairs!) and well, you get my drift!  So, swing on by Margo's blog at http://www.knitinpajamas.blogspot.com/ and show her some bloggy LOVE!

Sunday Stuff-I'm Making a Schedule!

OK, so one of my blogging goals is to be more consistent in when/what I blog (see previous post :)), so I have come up with a little blogging schedule.  Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew and originally had a 5-day a week blogging schedule in mind, but yeah, that is so not gonna work for me (just yet anyway).  Soooo....I am going to try to blog 3 days a week.  Here's what I am thinking:

1-Sunday will be all about random posts.  This will include anything and everything from recipes, good books, favorite new songs, tv discussions, funny kid stories, blogging tips, etc, etc. 

2. Tuesday will focus on tutu bug and what special sales or giveaways I am currently doing. 

3.  Thursday will be about showcasing someone else's blog.  It's all about blog support, right friends?! 

I think this will be a good start for me and I welcome your accountability as well!

Awesome Blogging Advice

I am still trying to find a consistent blogging pattern, I'm looking for my blogging voice, if you will.  I blog because I want to introduce people to my craft (ie. the tutu's), but I feel that it is so much more than that.  I also want to blog so that I can talk about other things, such as sharing tips and hints, talking about my kids, sharing favorite books and recipes, and revealing myself to my readers in general.  While I am still trying to figure all this out since I am relatively new to the blogging world, I did come across this great post on Lady Bloggers Society today, which lists 5 or 6 tips to a better blog.  Check it out....I love idea #4, need to be better about #5 and try not to do #3 too often!!  Thoughts, readers (ooh, there I am doing #1 :))?!?!
