Sunday Social: Blog Stuff

It’s Sunday Social day where Ashley and Neely post questions each week for people to answer on their blogs and a linkup.  This week’s questions are all about blogs!

1. What is the name of your blog?
That’s What We Did

2. What do you love most about blogging?
Sharing what’s going on in our world.  We live out of town from our families, so it’s nice to be able to share what’s going on in our world.

3. Why did you start blogging? 
I don’t know – I guess I just have to write, even though I was never a big journaler.  I started with another blog, a local events/deal blog and then I wanted to do something personal so I started another.  I lost touch with that one and didn’t like the way it was headed, so I started this one to refocus.

4. What is something you’d want to tell someone just starting out in the blog world?
Do and write about what you want to do…not what you think will be popular or will make you money.  If you don’t write about what you want, you won’t keep up with it.

5. Biggest blogging learning experience you’ve had?
If you’re writing about what you want, you won’t worry about the numbers.

6. What are three blogs you love?
I read a lot of blogs, so it’s really hard to pick and I would probably name 3 different blogs any given week.  I’m going with these three because I’ve been pinning sweet stuff from the top two like crazy lately – like almost everything they post (which is slightly embarrassing).  And Young House Love is just amazing for ideas for the house…decorating, diy – and all on a budget.

• Averie Cooks – She posts awesome, awesome recipes (especially sweets)…most of which can be adapted to be gluten free pretty easily.

• Taylor Made it Paleo – She funny and posts lots of tasty Paleo dessert recipes.  I’m not paleo, but paleo is naturally gluten-free (and healthier), so I pin a ton of her stuff.

• Young House Love – This couple is awesome.  They are on their 3rd house and they blog about all of the diy and home decorating that they do.  I pretty much love everything they do and their projects are always budget-friendly and useful.  I haven’t been able to dive into their book much yet, but it’s pretty awesome and has a ton of doable projects:  Young House Love: 243 Ways to Paint, Craft, Update & Show Your Home Some Love
