Blogging has a way of connecting people that under normal circumstances would never cross paths.  It’s an exciting new way of communicating, making new friends, sharing experiences and learning valuable lessons.

With the vast number of blogs crawling the internet, and even greater number of new bloggers joining their ranks,  it can easily become a daunting task trying to visit them all.  Which is why I decided to start featuring a new blogger each week that we all can get to know.

This weeks featured blogger is Cheryl over at Tidy Mom .  Get to know more about her and her blog below.

How long have you been blogging? I started my TidyMom blog in August 2008.

What inspired you to start blogging? We had a family business for 15 years, The Country Junction I started a blog for the business in Aug 2007, The Country Junction Blog  then we closed our doors in July 2008.  I enjoyed blogging so much I knew that I starting my own blog would provide the outlet I needed to share the things I love!

What is your blog about? TidyMom is really a mixed bag of sorts.  I’m a wife and mom with a “wee bit” of a tidiness obsession!

I love to bake, create, and dream of becoming a better photographer. You’ll find that one day I’m  talking about my favorite laundry products or decorating my new office, and the next day I’m posting a favorite recipe with pictures, or entering a picture on a weekly photography challenge. There are so many great baking and organizing blogs out there, I’m  just writing about what I likes and what works for me and my family. I enjoy sharing what I loves. Being TIDY is my obsession, but baking, photography and just being a Mom is my passion!

How has blogging changed your life?  That would HAVE to be the friendships I’ve made!! The blogging communtiy is such a GREAT source of friendship, compasion, and support not to mention a GREAT place for inspiration!!  I’ve never thought of myself as “creative” but I’ve learned thru blogging and reading other blogs, that I CAN try things I never thought I could do!

What have you learned about blogging that you would like to share with others?  One of the BEST ways to grow your blog is to get yourself out there! Comment comment comment!! Leaving comments on other blogs is THE best way to get yourself noticed and start relationships with other bloggers!!  Also, social networking – I have found SO much help and have grown friendships with the help of Twitter and Facebook.

Name 3 blogs you love to read? WOW, just 3? I have over 350 in my reader! LOL  I’m going to list 3 here that I love to read and have grown amazing friendships with their authors!
