Finding my voice

So I have been blogging for Adoption blogs.com for just over five months now and I’m trying to find a nice balance. While I’m still working out some kinks in putting together posts that have a purpose, I’m feeling more comfortable and ready to let my hair down. In theory it seems so easy to just write down what you want to say. Sometimes the ideas and posts flow and others I’m at a loss to put down into words what I want to tell you all about. I also have a personal blog and my husband often tells me I should blog on this site the way I do on my personal blog. On my personal blog I vent about my recent hair disaster, not so easy to connect my hair to parenting unless I tell you all about how my self esteem has taken a nose dive since becoming a stay at home Mom. How I have let myself go since becoming a Mom. I guess that could be a post… hmmmm.

Anyway I have been trying here and there to let a little more of my voice and sense of humor shine through on this site. I feel that as a blogger for adoption.com that I must write with some purpose…. offer advice, insight and share my experiences in Adoptive Parenting. I remember how nervous I was when I first began. Now my posts come more easily but I still worry about running out of ideas. I try not to over think all of this. I just put my thoughts out there and I’m shocked that I get paid to write and that anyone besides my Mom & Husband reads what I drone on about and finally that I’m writing about parenting. You all have been so great in offering advice to me and I often feel that I’m seeking insight more than providing it, but perhaps other Pap’s are learning along with me. So bear with me as I test the waters and try to find my voice.

Lauri, I feel for you, I am having a similar problem. When I "let my hair down" here so to speak, and talk about what concerns me most with adoption issues, there is a crowd who like to jump all over it.
It's hard, but keep plugging along!

You're doing a great job and what you write is helping more people than you know.

The more blogs I read, the more I realize I'm not the only mom out here who likes to wear sweats and not be too picky about how I look every day. My husband hasn't complain yet so I guess I am doing ok...actually, I confess, I dressed this way before we had the boys too!

I like the posts where you talk about problems you're having without knowing the solution. You've got a big enough readership that the comments are usually pretty good.

Blogs are a two way street of communication. Don't feel like you need to be an expert in every post.
