Okay, well, after much thought from me and encouragement from a variety of people, I have eventually decided to start a blog. When I was at the www.IBW.com conference in Westport, I met a few bloggers who extolled the virtues of this new world. Seasoned bloggers such as Annette Clancy, Claire Wilson, Keith Bohanna and Frank Fullard were so positive about their blogging experiences that I’ve decided to give it a shot. They’ve convinced me.
I’ll blame them if it falls by the wayside!
Even though I run two businesses, www.BlackberryVillage.ie and www.CheckMate.ie, this will primarily be a blog that relates to BlackberryVillage and my experience as a business woman who works from home in the world of baby gifts and kids toys. I feel my work as a Mammy and my private life in general, relates to that so I know that will sneak in sometimes too!
I want to tell you a bit more about what goes on in the life of someone who runs a small business (or 2!), living in the country, married with children.
I look forward to talking to you and sometimes hearing back from you too!
Cris
Congratulations on the blog. It looks great. Your first couple of posts are terrific, so I look forward to reading it in the future
Welcome to the blogosphere and thank you for the link! I’ve browsed Blackberry village many a time. Beautiful stuff!!! Will be by for some Xmas shopping I fear!
We used to live in Ballina and miss the sea – you’re lucky!!! Best of luck, look forward to reading more!
Thanks for your kind words Frank and Deborah!! It’s great to get a bit of feedback on my first venture into the blogosphere. I wasn’t sure how it would work out but I am very happy with the outcome.
Deborah, sure we were almost neighbours! It is a lovely part of the world! I’ll be looking forward to some nice Christmas cooking ideas from you.
welcome to the far side Cris!
Cris, Congratulations on the new blog, already some great posts too! I’ll be adding you to my blogroll
Thanks Annette and Claire. Ye convinced me. Ye didn’t quite tell me how addictive it was though!
