It's as though people like to stick others into boxes with a neat label and then they feel better, like they have the person all figured out. It's much more fulfilling (though challenging) to actively ponder and ruminate and cogitate and delve and strive to understand each other as the complex human beings that we are. :-)Kimberleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14980588863109281657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-67675568173430111602009-08-02T21:05:51.194-05:002009-08-02T21:05:51.194-05:00The only appropriate label for you, Karen is "...The only appropriate label for you, Karen is "awesome."Theresahttp://lapazfarm.homeschooljournal.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-23527368047457461602009-08-02T13:34:25.187-05:002009-08-02T13:34:25.187-05:00Great post.

It makes me feel that even if I don't stick to my schedule, I might retain a few readers. :)<br /><br />Have a great week!Roxane B.

Thanks, Melanie, for loving the unpredictability. I started thinking about this recently when a friend mentioned some things from BlogHer and mommybloggers, labels, etc. <br /><br />Roxane, I miss commenting all over the place. Thanks for missing me. I need to make my kids wash their own snack dishes. :) <br /><br />Warren, they keep me laughing, too. And, Bookworm, I've always loved "eclectic" ... the word, the way it sounds, the concept. I'm sticking with it, too. :)Karen Edmisten https://www.blogger.com/profile/04446214835142625161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-81039001239637494302009-08-02T02:51:26.662-05:002009-08-02T02:51:26.662-05:00I always describe myself as an eclectic blogger, w...I always describe myself as an eclectic blogger, which gives me permission to blog about anything I want ;).

I narrowed it down to three major areas of my life: parenting, writing and faith. I'm trying to write on each of those topics on certain days of the week, but I'm afraid I'm enough like you (from what it sounds) that I don't necessarily like having to keep to my schedule. I like to blog as ideas hit me, regardless of subject. But, I am trying to do this for my readers, so they know more what to expect and when. That said, sounds like some people, like Melanie, like not knowing what to expect. Which makes me question myself. (Can you tell I'm ruminating in your comments box?) I think all this to say that...I continue to enjoy your posts, regardless of what they are, but miss seeing you in my comments box, and hope you'll be by someday soon -- when the kids quit demanding so many snacks, perhaps. :) Blessings...Roxane B.

I've been thinking about the label "mommy blogger" after Amy Welborn wrote about one of my blog posts and then went on to ruminate about mommy bloggers in general. I guess I am a "mommy blogger" in that I am a mom, I blog, I even frequently blog about my children and about being a mom. But I think "mommy blogger" doesn't exactly define me and in fact has some connotations that I sometimes find off-putting. <br /><br />I think you are I are much alike, we blog to express the various different aspects of our personalities, as moms and as writers and as women of faith. We defy easy categorization. Which is one reason why I love your blog. I never know exactly what I'm going to find.Melanie Bettinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12557248434888642114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-25760001501040411992009-08-01T17:00:36.534-05:002009-08-01T17:00:36.534-05:00I think your St. Lucy bread and your monkey bread ...I think your St. Lucy bread and your monkey bread count for more than just a "shred" of cooking talent, Miss Karen!Charlotte (WaltzingM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12690056082240865041noreply@blogger.com
