The thing I love about Friday Features is that not only do I get to meet new people and great blogs, but I get the chance to share them with you.
Today I would love to introduce you to
Caring For Our Blessings
What is the name of your blog and why did you choose your name?
The name of my blog is Caring for Our Blessings. I chose the name because the focus of my blog is the various blessings in our lives (home, family, food, environment, money, faith, etc) and how we can best be stewards of those blessings.
How long have you been blogging?
Since April 2010
Tell me about your blog.
I write about various issues and try to provide practical information for readers to implement in their own lives. Topics range from frugal and green living tips to faith to cooking and gardening. While I may occasionally do some social commentary, the focus is almost always on the practical and promoting a gratitude for our blessings. I have also posted useful resources on my links and articles tabs so that readers can benefit from my experience–and most importantly, my mistakes. I guess one feature that sets my blog apart from other frugal blogs is that I try to focus on “making do” and anti-consumerism rather than finding deals.

Is there anything else you would like us to know about your blog?
Well, I always encourage feedback and would love to feature guest writers and features on the blog. In addition, I would be happy to promote green companies and homemade products as well. I would love to hear from my readers and know how best I can help them. Also I have recently added a newsletter tab at the top so that readers can sign up for a newsletter. While it may be infrequent, I hope that it will be informative and inspirational.
What do you like the best about blogging?
I enjoy sharing the information that I have gained through trial and error so that others might be able to skip all of that “fun” stuff. Because I was not really taught how to be a homemaker, I have had to read and discover it on my own. Frugal living and green living also did not come naturally, and so that journey has taken quite awhile. I’m not there yet; therefore my blog is also a way to share my journey as well.
What advice would you give to new or other bloggers?
Be honest and true to yourself. Provide practical advice to your readers and add something positive to their lives. No ranting or attacking other people or bloggers.
Blogging Goals
I am currently part of Blogmania 2011, and so that has been quite a learning experience. I am hoping to gain more sponsors for my blog and my Blogmania giveaways. I would also love to be able to offer more reviews and giveaways on my blog; the focus, of course, would have to be on green, useful products. Additionally, I have been praying about a possible animal ministry, and so I would love to get that started and be able to find a more practical basis and plan for that. I have also recently added a Praising Hubby linkup on Sundays so that wives can share something positive about their husbands and link up their posts; I am hoping that will take off. Plus, as always, progress in my own green living journey so that I can provide that information to my readers.
