Friend Of The Week – Shelly

Shelly

Everybody loves a good story. What makes Friendship Friday so special is that it’s a place to pause and connect – a place to get to know one another and build community – a place to get to know the people behind the blogs.

Friendship Friday is a place to share your stories and touch each other’s lives!

Last week, Patty’s story of how she returned to blogging after a prolonged absence resonated with another blogger who is on that same journey. This week, I’d like to introduce you to Shelly at There’s No Place Like Home – a homeschooling mom of eight whose journey is best told in her own words!

Shelly writes:

Like Patti, I also recently started blogging again after a two year break, although I had only been blogging for a few months in the first place. During the time I wasn’t blogging, I really started to miss writing and having a place where I could write down my many, many thoughts and having the opportunity of other people weighing in on them.

A few months ago, I noticed that people were still following my blog (actually I gained about 100 followers when I wasn’t even writing!) and linking to it, so I thought, “Why not?” I started writing again on 3/28 and it’s been an amazing ride.

I’ve become a blog contributor on another website and next week am guest posting on another. I’ve had so much fun, in fact, that I’ve started neglecting the homeschooling book I’m writing, so I really need to find a nice balance!

Comments mean the world to bloggers. Won’t you brighten Shelly’s day by dropping by her blog and congratulating her for being our Friend of the Week at Create With Joy?

      Sounds like a plan Karren!
      I am looking forward to some major R & R this weekend –
      culminating with a BBQ and fireworks display virtually in my own back yard! 🙂

  3. We are headed up to our lake house in Vermont, hope you have a lovely holiday weekend!

  5. Congrats to Shelly for being Friend of the Week! Thanks for hosting! So cool we both got a chance to review the book, Unashamed. Hope you have a wonderful weekend 🙂

  6. Patti says:

    After several weekends crammed full of activity, I am looking forward to a fairly low-key 4th of July weekend. We’ll be helping a gal from church move into a new house on Saturday, but I’m hoping Sunday and Monday find me sipping iced tea in the sun and reading a book or two.

    Happy 4th!

    Our small town is having fireworks tonight, so we’re going to go see that. They put on a good show for a small place. Other than that, I plan on sitting in front of the a/c. I don’t deal well with humid scorching temps.

    Hoping to BBQ his weekend and spend time with family. P.S. I’d love to be Friend of the Week! I’ve re-started my blog again (and changed the look!), after a little absence. I started my blog in 2011, and the encouragement came from my daughter. When I’m not blogging regularly, I miss it!
