I try to keep my blog about my life with the odd review here and there. My goal if I end up doing more reviews is to have reviews be only on Fridays. The rest of the time my blog is about everything else in my life. www.noliesplace.com

I try and only include one review per week and the rest is inspirational/life posts.

When I was a print journalist, part of my "beat" was to put together the weekly happenings in tiny town of 6000 for a special Wednesday edition. Imagine my dismay, after laboring over my first column, in realizing the special edition was basically an "ad rag," the term used in newspaper for a piece put out solely to sell ads.

I will admit to some of the same disappointment when I discovered how many mommy blogs are actually online Tupperware or Silpada parties. So your call is welcome.

I am a writer who is blogging a fictional take on motherhood as a means of "getting my voice out there," as writers are supposed to do. The story, One Click Away, at http://godeeperliz.blogspot.com is the story of a woman who is turning 40, adores her children but dreams of "going deeper." It's a fun, familiar and at times dark and steamy read, just like all of us. I hope you will take a peek. I will hope on over to Hidden Valley.

No reviews on my blog! No ads either, for the time being! In the future, I will have affiliate links and some of my own products for sale, but for now it's just me and life!

Hmmm ... don't know if my posts are really reviews.
More of great outings with photography that I brings
a smile to those who read what I write.

tomatobaby is where I write and show my pictures.

Hope not to disappoint ... skip the "landing" page
as I am celebrating my 100th post {and that means
it is a give-a-way ... blushing.}

Popping over to Hidden Valley Simplicity! ~j.

I agree - reviews are fun (for me and my readers) but overkill can take away from the blog's original purpose. That is what I learned this summer from accepting TOO many products for review at once! I ended up doing several reviews a WEEK! Too many! And I felt like I'd "lost myself" in the process of trying to keep up with it all.

Now, once I finish up the handful of reviews I already promised to companies, I am going to limit myself to 1 per week (that's only 20% of my blogging so I think I fit your description). The rest of the time will be personal posts, wordless wednesday, and my own tips/experiences as a mom! So - hope you check me out.... I'm also in the middle of a "bloglift" so you might see the look/name changing soon!

Well, I don't do anything about reviews, giveaways, etc... and if I do a review is because I really enjoyed it and not for money (and if you visit me you'll see is rare).

Ooo, you sound like me! Life, with a few book reviews thrown in! (and don't go by my archives because I just dropped out of one review network. No time for reading books right now!
