The longer I am blogging the less I feel like sharing. I guess too many people know about my blog so I can’t really spout off about my life anymore. I am a victim of my own success or summat!

I have that rule about photos too. It’s a really personal choice. Really interesting to see other people’s approaches though.

So far I’ve kept my full name off my blog and twitter so that you can’t google me and find them. But I think this will change sometime soon.
My view is my little blog isn’t all that important and at some point in the future most likely it’ll only be me still interested in these old posts. Having said that I’m careful of what photos I publish, no naked bath photos for example.

I know what you mean – I’m probably more open than the NLM, who doesn’t even have a Facebook page, which is why I check with him if I’m ever writing something about him and let him read it and check he’s happy before I publish it. And I agree, honesty is important. I think just blogging about the good bits of life can come across as a bit disingenuous sometimes and not “real” in some way. It’s a fine line isn’t it?! Thank you for the comment. x

I am a fairly open person in real-life and am happy to talk about most things so therefore my blog reflects that. I generally share both positive and negative things to do with Iyla and my life as a parent too because if she does read it back when she’s older I want her to see both sides as I think that will help her more as a parent instead of me just writing about the happy stuff. I am careful when it comes to writing about and posting photos of Dad2BabyInsomniac though as he hates people knowing about his life – we couldn’t be more opposite in that respect! He knows that blogging is a big part of my life and that it does involve me mentioning him, especially in The Perfect Romance Experiment which is all about relationships,but I think he also trusts me not to write things that he wouldn’t want anyone knowing. I would blog it all if I could though! x

I think when they’re the age to tell you then it’s probably easier to know where to draw the line. There’s certain stuff I wouldn’t write about – and if I ever write about my husband I always get his consent first and let him read the post before I hit publish. It’s a tricky one though!

Goodness, this is food for thought Molly. I blog about my family life and I do talk about my daughters – fondly, in the main! – a lot so I can only hope that they don’t feel now or in the future that their privacy has been invaded. At the moment they seem to quite like it, but if that ever stopped, then I guess I would stop, too!
