Busy Mom of 5: Do I have time for Blogging?
So, I completed the level 1 training and have ventured into level 2 where it says to create blog content. At that point my 14 month son is needing mommy and the twins keep coming in every five minutes asking when are we going to the pool. I think to myself... Who am I kidding! I don't have time to create a blog! I have 5 kids! I barely have time to go to the bathroom alone! Most of the time the baby follows me in where he attempts each and every time to play with the toilet brush and wave it around like a magic wand. I think to myself each time that I will find a new place for it, but that's where it belongs next to the toilet. Today someone forgot to close the door to the toilet room and out comes the baby waving it around. I don't think I've ever moved so fast. Right when it was about to go in his mouth, because everything goes in his mouth, I snatched it out of his chubby wet hand. Of course I stripped him down and gave him a good scrubbing, along with the freshly mopped floor.
Now, there I go, off-track. My point is I'm trying to convince myself before diving into this blog that I have time for this. I know what they say, You have to make time. But then if I do commit to blogging what direction do I take? My niche is health and wellness. Oh and I have a beauty products business as well. Do I create helpful informative blog posts? Do I blog about crazy mom life?
EEEEK! OK! Here I go! Off to start a blog post... after all the baby is sleep training and only whined a couple times in his sleep last night. Crossing my fingers that tonight will be just as great!

Hi, kudos to you for signing up and being willing to give this a try. I started out here all eager to learn. I’m not a mom of 5 busy kids, but I’m a principal of a school of around 400 kids, have two little boys that I love to pieces and that hold me up during the night and always want me to play with them I have lots o commitments in church, give music lessons to a few kids, and so on. Different story, but feel overwhelmed as well wry often.
There are days when o think I am crazy to do this internet business, but I also in need of another income stream, so that has kept me pushing and pushing.
And you know what? I have produced around 70 blogposts in 9 months. How? No idea. But I did it. I feel accomplished, because I know that this is going to bring me financial freedom on the long run. I cannot post 1 article every week, but once in a while I have made it to 3 per week.
Your life is different from mine, but let me give you a heads up - you will be overwhelmed, you will get super tired and all fed up, ready to throw WA out, but If you will be persistent, you’ll see what you can do. And it will be awarded sooner or later.
I recommend that you do the training and then focus on writing posts and nothing else for some time. That is what I do. There is sooooo much to do here in WA that you could be here all day long. Don’t get lost - write one post at a time. And don’t be too hard on yourself. Be happy to produce one post a week, and if that won’t work, that’s ok. It’s just going to take a little longer, but it will work.
Here is a strong community behind you, willing to keep you motivated.
Let’s get this rolling,
Oscar
Just schedule time during your busy day, usually when all the kids are in bed, you may be looking to work some midnight hours, but you will need to rest too. Wish you well but you have already started so stay focus and organize the house chores so you'll have time for the online venture.
Hi Bridget,
I truly enjoyed reading this post about your kids. Not telling you which way to go, but you surely kept me engaged with your story about your little ones.
As I was reading, I definitely thought you had a stay at home mom niche.
Wishing you much success!
