Back to blogging

A long, long time ago I remember blogging. This was back in 2006. Yes? No? I don’t really remember and don’t care enough to Google myself to learn more about myself.  Trust me when I say I blogged. When I had a child, now 2 childs (I know the plural would be children but welcome to MY blog), I found it harder and more time consuming then I cared to work on.

Blogging became that boring chore I never wanted to perform, like laundry or waking up in the morning because children need to eat breakfast.

However, I have found once again how important it is for me to get back into this digital world of content all based on me. Which is of course, my favorite topic of conversation. So why shouldn’t it be yours.

The real driving force behind all of this has been my involvement in Midwest Craft Con. A 3 day retreat I am hosting alongside my crafty counterparts, Brit and Grace. Both craft show organizers themselves. Part of our roles in spreading the word about our conference has been content driven blog posts and promotions. When one of our keynote speakers, Abby Glassenburg, asked to interview us I had no where to direct her.  Other than my somewhat active Instagram account, my non-existent Twitter page and what has become a sad Fan page on Facebook.

I was reminded how much I neglect the things that make my brand important. How I do have lots to say and how perhaps you need a kick in the pants like I sometimes do.

So let’s share. Let’s get back to work. Let’s build some empires.

And let’s start by reading more about who I am from this post made on the Midwest Craft Con’s blog.
