Gettin' the Dish



Photobucket
Amanda's 'Dishing it' party...( link at the end)

~How long have you been blogging?
I've been blogging now for about 6 years. Have blogged here since September 2008- went public for ALL THE WORLD TO SEE ...November 2009 (5 months) 

~Why did you start blogging?
First I blogged on a home school blog, then I blogged for family (became too much personal info out there for Honey's comfort level); then I blogged about the Gospel, now I'm blogging here. Mainly because I like the blog community and I love to tell stories. 

~Tell me about your blog's title. Why did you choose it?
Well, I'll tell you a little secret... the blog title I have now... I really don't like. I chose it because it matches my URL...somebody somewhere in blogland, mentioned that it was too difficult to find a blog in which the title didn't match the URL. And since it was easier to change the title than the URL (w/o losing what readers I'd gained) that is what I did. 
 Before... my blog title was Corn in my Coffee Pot. ... I really like that title. 
   But because I tend to be a people pleaser ...in a rebellious sort of way... i changed it. 

~What do you blog about?
I blog about my first ministry; the home. 
I blog about  'getting it together, now that the kids are grown' (in a nutshell), I blog about my faith in the God of Grace and Mercy, I blog about being frugal, and living contentedly whether I have much or little, I try to share little projects that help to make our house a home.  I  share about  'loving the same ol' somebody through it all'

~What is your favorite thing about blogging?
Oh my favorite thing about blogging is... I don't have to do it. 
I can quit anytime I want to. Although now, it would be hard, because I've met so many wonderful ladies through blogging. I have connected with women all over the world who share my belief, and share some of the same heart desires that I have. 

~If you had to choose one famous person to become your blog's next devoted reader, who would you pick?
I don't think I could pick a famous person, I'm happy to have the readers that I do. ---If I did choose one famous person, it would have to be a woman; I would want her to be more than a devoted reader. I would want  her to be a welcomed guest to my home and life - and I would hope to be able to share The Gospel with her, and share from my heart about being a biblical woman of God and Trusting Him in all things, no matter what may come my way.

  
~What's the funniest comment you've ever received on a blog post?
When my readers left poems in my comments...they made me laugh.

Happy Dishing It! Thanks for stopping over for a visit. I can really feel your heart in this post. As a reforming people pleaser, I think you should go with the blog name that YOU love! Have a blessed week.

Hi! Visiting from Amanda's. I love the Corn in the Coffee Pot title too, I am a people pleaser as well, I have a really hard time saying NO!

Amanda @ Serenity Now said...

Hi there! I love the gate in your banner photo...so pretty. :) I agree with the others...you should go with a blog name that makes YOU smile. But I think they're both great. :) Thanks so much for stopping by and linking up. Have fun "partying." :)

Meri said...

Love your answers! :)

Visiting from Amanda's party. I have home schooled my five kids- well until they go to high school. I still have three at home this year. Love it and being able to watch them grow and learn stuff that I taught them.

Just so you know...I miss Corn in your Coffee Pot. It does still appear in Google reader, though. That makes me smile. Big!


I already know you a bit. But it was fun reading all your answers. You are such a gal. "I can quit whenever I want!" Cracked me up. It is freeing. However, with all these makeovers I need to do...I'm asking myself, "what did I get myself into?"

I wanted to do the Dishing It party so badly. But I missed it. Maybe Amanda will have another. I'm hoping to link up with her Wed. thing. She is sweet.
