When Do You Blog?

Thank you for visiting Weekend Kindness-- the blog that helps you build positive relationships! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so that you don't miss a single post from one of our great authors!

The other way to ask this question is: How do you juggle blogging and family time?

For me, I tend to try to leverage (I know buzz-speak) the times that I’m still awake and the family is not.  So, I end up staying up late at night to write posts for all my blogs.

I did try mornings for a little while, but I found that I was much more likely to wake someone up when I got up in the morning than I was when I worked late into the night.

And, of course, how late I can work and how much I get done is a factor of when I get started.  The later I get started, the less I get done.

How about you?  Do you blog when the kids are around, or do you find odd hours as well?

    I love blogging in the early morning, but like you, it seems that at least my toddler wakes up earlier when I do this! My computer area is catty-corner to the girls’ bedroom door…

    I usually do my blogging during the afternoon rest time. Three year old actually still falls asleep during naptime, and my other two either read in their room or quietly finish up their schoolwork at the kitchen table. Sometimes they play quietly in their room (3 year old sleeps in the master bedroom so they can do this)…anyway, that time is *my* free time.

    When hubby is working in his leather shop, or at a meeting, I blog until he gets home. The kids are usually in bed by 8:30 PM, so that gives me a good 2+ hours usually.

    I guess…I grab the time when it presents itself!

    I take care of stuff like responding to comments during the day when the kids are awake. Stuff like that can be taken care of in small increments of time throughout the day.

    I do my actual writing at night. Right now my husband is working nights, so he’s usually either at work or napping in the evening after the kids go to bed. That gives me the perfect quiet time for writing, and it doesn’t take away from family time.
