“Riding with Jessica”

http://ridingwithjessica.com

I blog for me and to share my experiences with others. I was a teen mom and now I am raising teens. I can see topics from both view points. I hope that by sharing I can help other families understand they are not alone. I also love to share products that are typical for a family with teens. My favorite items to share are beauty products.

I started blogging in June 09.

I normally blog about issues that come up when raising teens in this day and age, coupon deals, fashion, beauty. I also blog about products and host giveaways.

I love to read

I would tell a new blogger to just put themselves out there. Get personal, share their stories. Blogging is great therapy.

I love the opportunity to chat with visitors through comments. It really makes my day to have someone respond back to me.

I actually have a lot of family and friends read my blog. I don’t really think they read it as much as I would like them to, but they do read it.

I am a very active member of Momdot.

I blog from home most of the time. But on occasion you can find me blogging from my iPhone on the go. Man I wish the battery of that phone lasted longer.

I spend too much time online reading and writing blogs. I would say close to 5 hrs per day, almost everyday of the week.

I don’s use any search engines to find blogs. I usually search for a new blog, then when I find it I search to see who they link to, so on and so forth.

I have known about blogs for years. I have started sevedral in the past but never kept up with them. I think I started my very first blog back in 2005. A highschool friend turned me onto blogs again last year. At that time I quickly realized that most sites you visit per day are blogs.

I truly cannot remember the first blog I ever read. I have been active online for almost 10 years.

Honestly I am inspired my my kids. They give me a reason everyday to wake in the morning and go to sleep at night. I could not imagine my life without them.

I do not have any other sites at this time. However, I do have a design blog called designs by iDesign

I have been journalism for many years since I was a teenager as a way to get my feelings and thoughts out. But I have been influenced and challenged to add more personality in my writing. I tend to write informative. That comes from many years working in management and writing training material. Adding more personality and umph to my writing has been my number one goal
