It is hard to rebuild that kind of<br />community. I'm not quitting anytime soon, but it will probably never be like it once was.<br /><br />Glad you are staying.

We were moving around the same time, or just had, so that resonated with me (cuz I'm not a mom...) Also I've never forgotten your statement about the "blogs of note" crowds - like people watching you in the bathroom and commenting Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575007011115306127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33659348.post-59383525774121858922010-07-12T00:08:08.620-04:002010-07-12T00:08:08.620-04:00So nice to get an update (says the gal who posted ...So nice to get an update (says the gal who posted -what a year ago or something!) anyhoo it WAS nice to hear from you again.<br /><br />I think you really said it, your initial reasons for blogging don't exist anymore, but that doesn't change what you get from it. <br /><br />I kind of think I haven't been blogging because personally I am trying to shut down some of the noise in my Jeniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100043209000589029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33659348.post-83635831906156037032010-07-11T21:33:13.163-04:002010-07-11T21:33:13.163-04:00I'm glad that you're back, and sticking ar...I'm glad that you're back, and sticking around. <br /><br />I pretty nicheless myself, as bloggers go. I am all over the place. I recognized that as a downside to my blog, especially when I try to put my blog on some sort of listing that involves categories. Of course, the up side is that my blog really feels like my own space.

The water's fine!<br /><br />But maybe you won't get PR pitches if you don't keep your niche focus. Or maybe I don't get PR pitches because my writing isn't as good as yours (it isn't, and no, I'm not fishing for a compliment, I'm giving one- your writing is a joy to read).<br /><br />Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33659348.post-45741198827946348772010-07-10T22:37:12.484-04:002010-07-10T22:37:12.484-04:00Umm, that's quite the song Gramma taught Munch...Umm, that's quite the song Gramma taught Munchkin! :)<br /><br />I understand what you mean about blogging, and about growing into being a mother. I feel the same way about just growing into being an adult, and at 35 years old, with 4 children and married for, well, a long time, I finally feel like a grown up!
