How to Keep coming with new Ideas for your Blog

Today I have totally no idea what to blog about, and then I thought that I will share what I do when I have this problem, so the problem of not knowing what to blog about turned in to a blog post about not knowing what to blog about :) After more than 8 years of blogging this is what I do when my mind is on a blank:

- Check your last 10 blogposts, write them down and then come up with new blogposts inspired by those last 10 ones. For example a previous blogpost about our furniture projects could lead to of course the before and after photo's of those furniture pieces but also a tutorial on how to fix a furniture piece or I could share furniture pieces made by others that I love and there you have 3 blogposts that you all of a sudden could write simply by thinking about 1 blogpost, with 10 posts you can easily come up with 20 new blog posts materials. If so write them down and look at them when you have no idea on what to write about :)

- Think about what you have done lately and share those new projects, this can be something that you make (and sell) but also a house make over, a little home decor upgrade etc. Sharing the process of these projects is fun for others to see and encouraging comments can also stimulate and motivate you to continue or do more than you originally planned.

- Share something personal that you have gone through lately. You don't need to share your dirty laundry or deepest secrets, but something might have happened lately that will give a good laugh to others or touch someone as they went through something similar.

-And finally I try to mix it up a little so not too much of the same kind of blogposts in a row but different things for variation and to connect with more people as some of your blogposts will be more liked by some people while other kinds might be liked by a different audience.

Here are my favorite three blogposts of all time, hope you enjoy them too:

~Mum decided to cook... (originally posted in 2008)

~Eco Fur (originally posted in 2009)

~Going back to Fairyland (Originally posted in 2014)

Laundry and Blogging

It is funny how things go. More then 2 years ago mum told me she wanted to start blogging, a little outlet to ramble. It suprised me as my mother is not a chatty person, and beside all the blogs she reads, she reads as a lurker as she is too shy to comment, cute hey? So I set up this blog and she wrote her things and I posted them. I must say that it was not a love at first sight situation for me with Blogland, I actually found it a bit useless and nonsense.



After about 6 months with a blogpost per week I started to see the world and our life in a different way. I mean things we see here daily are not so normal for others in far away countries. This thought made us both see things more, and my camera is usually with me to capture those moments and to share here with you and our lovely readers. After that I started to get addicted with blogging and I love seeing and reading other blogs, especially the more personal or creative ones, to feed my curiosity of people's life's.

So here we are after more then two years still blogging and loving it. And what are these pictures? Well something I wouldn't think about picturing if we hadn't our blog. These are our mops, each day we use a clean one and at the end of the week they all go together in the washing machine. Mops are a hell to keep clean so this is a nifty system and here hanging on the washing line is just a fun view we wanted to share.

Thank you all for reading our blog, and for your sweet comments in the past 2 years, we will be here for hopefully many more...
