I have to be so careful how much of me I share as I’m a secondary school teacher. I would love to be a bit more open but at the risk of one of my students finding my site I can’t- it makes blogging difficult at times!

Great post. I have actually been thinking a lot about this very thing lately and made a more personal post today than what I typically do. Thanks for the advice.

I think I’ve been less eager to share information about myself since it’s not always lead to a good thing. I try to share a little bit of who I am on different sites like my blog, pinterest and so forth. It’s easy to know what I like at least even if you don’t know much about me as a person.

Great blog post though!

As someone who is new to blogging I’m hoping that the person that is me comes through in my posts. I just worry about people finding it boring! My two sons are mortified that I may refer to them – but that’s normal I guess. I just know that when I was teaching, sharing parts of my homelife helped to create a bond with pupils and made me a person not just a teacher

Great post! Sometimes it’s hard balancing how much of the blog should be personal and how much shouldn’t. But I have found that 7 of the 10 most popular posts on my blog were all very personal posts! So that tells you something about what people like to hear. I think they like to know you’re a real person.

I love pinterest, too. I do feel like maybe I am “too much” of myself . . .this issue or that issue, always feelings slightly overwhelmed with not enough time for family or not enough time on the ever-growing etsy to-do-list. I actually put a message in my shop that said I am a mom to 4 kids – let me know if deadlines are urgent, otherwise, I’m slow during summer. How awful is that? Summer is my busiest time, but also least convenient.
