Courtney Speaks

Do you let your kids help you blog?  Is blogging a family affair for you?  I personally like to include my children when blogging if I can.  It’s not always easy to do.

I started blogging because I wanted something that was mine.  I had just quite my job to become a stay at home mom and I needed something that did was just mine and blogging filled that void.  Overtime however that need changed.

Now I want to include my children and family if possible.  I want them to see what I do and how important it is to me.

On my mommy blog, it is quite easy to include the kids.  They help me review products and we record some of them on video as well, which they absolutely love.  They also help me pick out pictures to use for Wordless Wednesday.  And of course they are the source of a lot of posts that you will find there.

On my other sites it can be hard to find where my family and children help.  While they may not have a direct effect on content or such, they are now firm supporters of my online businesses.  My husband helps to watch the kids while I work on blog designs.  If I’m visiting my parents, they take some time to watch the kids and allow me to write PLR articles for Christian Mom PLR.

The point is that my family and children have an impact on my blogs and websites even if their efforts are not outwardly apparent.

Does your children and family have an impact on your blogging?

Last May I had the opportunity to review a set of unique Christian books for children called, ThumbPeople.  The ThumbPeople books are tools to help teach your children that they are each uniquely made by God and are perfect the way God made them.  They are awesome books and I highly recommend them.

I was recently sent a link to a video made by ThumbPeople that shows an important part of being a parent that I often thinks get overlooked.  When our kids don’t feel our love, many of them will look for love in the wrong places.  ThumbPeople’s  hope is that they will re-ignite a desire for parents, grandparents & caregivers to love their kids – unconditionally after watching this video.   Who better to help spread this message than people who can effortlessly touch the lives of a lot of people who already have similar beliefs!
