Are you a busy mum who's in desperate need of a fun and creative outlet? If you enjoy writing and sharing your thoughts and experiences with others then blogging could be the perfect hobby for you. As mums, it's so easy to feel like our lives revolve solely around our little ones, but blogging give you much needed escape as well as an opportunity to connect with other mums in the same situation. It's a chance to work on your own little project, and just do something for yourself (which let's face it, you probably rarely do!) Here's why blogging is a great hobby for mums, and why it's worth giving it a go if you're considering starting one up.
1. It's flexible
As a mum, your schedule is probably packed with school runs, playdates, extra curricular activities and various other responsibilities. But bblogging is a hobby that can easily fit into your busy life. You can write whenever you have a spare moment, it could be during naptimes or after the kids are in bed. Plus, you can work on your blog from anywhere, whether you're at home or on the go on your phone. So when you're waiting for the school gates to open before pickup time or while your child is doing their weekly swimming/dance/ whatever class they're doing at the moment, you can sit and work on it then
2. It's a creative outlet
No one is doubting how wonderful and fulfilling the experience of being a mum is, but we all know that can be draining- both physically and mentally. Blogging provides a creative outlet that can help you recharge and express yourself in a way that's uniquely your own. You could write about your experiences as a parent in a journal type blog or write about something that's not related to parenting an all. It could be about sharing your favourite recipes, talking about a craft or hobby you have or tips and tricks for something you're knowledgable and interested about. There are so many ways to flex your creative muscles through blogging. One of the great things about it is it's cheap and mess free, you dont need to spend lots of money on expensive equipment or tools to get started, you dont need to spend half an hour setting up or cleaning it away when you're done like lots of other hobbies. You login on your phone and laptop and are good to go.
3. It's a way to connect with others
When you start a blog, you can connect with other mums who share your interests and experiences. Meeting new friends and connecting with others in adulthood can be hard, especially as a mum when you have very little free time. But this way you have a chance to meet with likeminded people and make some new genuine friendships. These social media friends could go on to become some of your best friends!
4. It can lead to new opportunities
Blogging can open up a whole world of new opportunities. From attending events to working with brands, earning money and winning awards. Starting a blog can help you develop skills in writing, social media, and website design that could even translate into new career opportunities down the line.
5. It's a way to document your memories
As a mum, you have all kinds of experiences with your kids. Blogging is a great way to turn those memories into something that you can look back on and cherish for years to come. You can write about your favourite moments as a family, the milestones your children reach, and anything else that's important to you.
Blogging is not only a fun hobby for mums, but it's also a valuable tool for personal growth and development. Whether you're a stay at home mum or a working mum, blogging is a great way to stay connected with your passions and interests, and to share your thoughts and ideas with the world. In the end, the most important thing is to find a hobby that brings you joy, inspiration, and a sense of purpose, and taking care of yourself in this way is not just good for you, but it's good for your family, too. Start a blog, and see where it takes you!
