This is exactly my problem, I bounce around too much with everything I do. I sell handmade items online and at farmer's markets and craft shows. As with my blog, my items seem unrelated to one and other and cluttered. I was just thinking about this today and then I found this post. Funny how things like that happen! I need focus and order in my life! Thank you Meredith. This is exactly my problem, I bounce around too much with everything I do. I sell handmade items online and at farmer’s markets and craft shows.

My blog is about more than frugality but one of the sayings that I really love is "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without." I hate waste and am finding that following that saying is really much better for our budget and the enviroment. I like to write about how I follow that saying as well as how to involve my whole family and all of us have fun doing it!! I enjoy frugality as a hobby as well as a way of life. Abbi Thanks for the good post.

I think he's right (and excellent post, Meredith)! So what is my niche... since one of my major interests is nutrition and natural living, I try to focus a lot on teaching moms and homemakers how to take all of the theory and ideas out there and turn them into bite sized, achievable goals and next steps towards a healthier family. And, I do it frugally, and attempt to show how that works for us, and how it can work for anyone. Nutrition and natural living can be daunting subjects, because of the cost of organic food, supplements, green (sustainable) products, etc. But because of my passion in this area, I have sought to find ways to make it work for us, and this seems to be a very popular topic, as moms learn more and more about what is (and isn't) healthy. This focus often translates into menu plans, healthy frugal recipes, grocery shopping and kitchen tips, discussions on natural household cleaners and beauty products, mixed in with some of the other day to day happenings in our home as I seek to be a godly wife, mom and homemaker. Thanks for the chance to share a bit more about my blog!

On the one hand, I've done so much better keeping that up than I ever have using a hand written one though. And looking back at it, I can definitely tell I'm ADD (yes, medically diagnosed as an adult). BUT, that's ok, since quite honestly, that's also the real me. I try to leave my blogger (View From the Stove and I go by Lady Di on that) account as more of a cooking blog, but I find that I just post to LJ more often because I've gotten so used to posting there almost daily since it's my diary. I'm trying to get better at it, both with focus and posting more often. I must admit, on my LJ site (the one linked to up above), I use it more as my diary, and I guess it pretty much shows that.

For example, if I love to sew, the time spent sewing is a benefit beyond the dollars-and-sense savings. If I hate to sew, then sewing would be a stressor -- and not worth the savings. There are lots of similar examples. If I had a frugal blog, it would focus on ‘TIME vs. benefit’ in frugal activities.

I've just started blogging, but before I started I thought long and hard about what I would write about. I think I have two somewhat unique perspectives on the frugal scene ... my grocery budget and photography. Before I ever read this post, I've been spending $125 or less on groceries every month for the last few years (comes out to $1500/year), and we eat quite well (two preschoolers, two adults). I noticed this intrigued several readers, so I've been posting my grocery shopping lists (in their entirety) every week. This keeps me accountable and helps others see how I do it, too. Also, I share photography tips that I've learned over the last two years that can save a bundle in studio fees. I've been taking all our own portraits since I got my latest camera (refurbished) two years ago, and I like to pass along easy ways to improve pictures with just a little thought. Of course, I post my wonderful thrift store finds and Walgreens/Rite Aid deals - who doesn't like to broadcast their fabulous deals? :) But I do want to stay away from that being the bulk of my posting. Part of my impetus for starting a blog was to keep myself accountable, so I've been having a theme for each day of the week - photography, a craft, book spotlight (one I've read recently), weekly menu & shopping list, and favorite recipes. If I can help even a few people, I'll have achieved my objectives! Good question! I’ve just started blogging, but before I started I thought long and hard about what I would write about. I think I have two somewhat unique perspectives on the frugal scene … my grocery budget and photography.
