Mama Guilt Monday – Confessions of a Mummy Blogger
Another week, another Mama Guilt Monday, courtesy of Cop Mama. I’m sorry to say that Cop Mama has decided notto continue hosting the Mama Guilt Monday meme, at least for the summer, as she has been finding it too time-consuming and stressful. I will miss taking part in this meme. Therefore, I may still keep it going here occasionally, when the mama guikt gets too much for me!

Here’s today’s optional prompt:
Balancing Blogging & Being a Mom
* * * * * *
It’s hard balancing blogging with family time and working fulltime. However, I try to devote an hour or so every week day to my blog, and a couple of hours blog hopping time at the weekend.
I have a laptop and a netbook, so it’s easy to work online, while keeping an eye on the girls, whether we’re at home or out at a park or soft play area. Of course, this is not adviseable if you have pre-school children.
I tend to do most of my work online during my lunchbreak and/or in the evening, once the girls are in bed.
The mama guilt kicks in, when I’m busy trying to finish a post, during my time with the girls. I also feel guilty about neglecting the housework in favour of going online.
Blogging (and blog-hopping) is one of my favourite pastimes. It’s an ideal way for me to escape the pressures of everyday life! Therefore, I try not to get too overwhelmed by mama guilt relating to it!

1Wow, sounds like you have come up with a good routine to fit your blogging in. Yes, for now, I will miss having you link up! But I’ll be sure to still stop by!
2Fellow CopMama blog participant from The Blessings of Modern Domestication. Hopped on over to check out our guilt. Sounds like you have a good rhythm in blogging. I’m guilty of the housework thing too. Nowhere near as fun as blogging. In time it all works out. Thanks for sharing.
