Q+A: Meet Christine

Founders Note: Today on the blog we have  Christine from So Called Homemaker. She is sharing a little bit more about herself and her blog!  I really enjoyed getting to know her more through this post, So be sure to check it out at the links below!



1.  What is the story behind your blog name?
Honestly, when I was starting my blog and thinking of names, it just kind of came to me.  Since I am technically a “work at home mom” instead of a “stay at home mom”, I’m not really a homemaker.  But I still cook, clean, and take care of my kid pretty much all day, every day, so in that sense I am a “homemaker”.  Hence, the “so-called” homemaker!

2. How did you start blogging?
A “real life” friend had started blogging and I saw how much fun she seemed to be having, so I decided to give it a shot!




3. whats one thing that you love about the blogging community?
I love that for the most part, this community is all about building each other up!  I get tired of the relationships between women when it seems like all they want to do is tear each other down all the time.
 4. What's your favorite thing about Fall?
Oh man, that’s tough.  I guess I’m going to have to go with the air.  It’s not too hot, and not too cold, and usually there’s a perfect breeze blowing!




5. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
Another tough one!  I think I would probably spend a year backpacking around Europe/Russia/China.  I have always wanted to backpack/train travel, so I would do that from Italy up-and-around the continents until we got to China!
6.What's your favorite Fall TV. show?
          New Girl!  I think that comes on in the Fall, right?  I usually just watch it on Netflix, haha.

  2. It's nice to "meet" you, Christine! I liked reading the story behind your blog name and how you got started! Does that real life friend still keep up her blog?


    What you said about the blogging community is so true. I think it is especially refreshing to meet Christian bloggers because they seem to be all about helping each other out! I love it. :)

Four Tips for Creating Community through Blogging

1. Reach out to other bloggers:  this is an  essential when wanting to get into community. It can be as small as a comment on their blog, or an email. I have built relationships with other bloggers through email, commenting on their blogs, etc. For me it has been a beneficial thing, to create community in something that I really didn't know there was any.   This is a great post on why bloggers need community.  2. Join a blog group on Facebook, or some other social media group: I have joined the Peony Project on facebook which is a group for other christian bloggers. It's a great group and i would definitely recommend it!  3. Make meaningful comments: when I say meaningful comments I don't mean that you have to write a novel, but at least engage with the post somehow. Check out Madison's post on how to comment on blogs to find out more.  4. Plan a blogger Meetup : If you there

Being Content

Content, As christian women we here that word more times than we can count, especially in a season of waiting. Content is defined as,   pleased and satisfied : not needing more.  Have you been in a season in your life where your feel like you are just waiting? Waiting for a new job, waiting for things to get better, waiting for marriage, etc. Whatever you are waiting for, sometimes it just seems like it's taking forever just like a long line at the grocery store.  When I think about being content, my thoughts instantly go to being content in my singleness. How many times have we heard the cliche lines like "just wait, God's got it" said by well meaning people, only to make you feel worse. There was a time in my life where it was so hard to hear all of those lines without just wanting to cry, because like I said it made me feel worse rather than better.  That is when I would get discontent in waiting,  sometimes I feel like i am in this never-endin

Blogging Goals 2015

It's a New Year and with that brings a new season of blogging.  I can't believe it's been two years since we started this blog. It's grown so much, and  I am excited to see where it goes this year as we continue to grow and change. This year I have some exciting new content in store for you all, which i will explain in more detail below. 1. Around The Table Linkup: This is a linkup that I am personally really excited about. It's going to be a linkup where there's a theme for each month, but I may do some months without a theme. Anyway, each month me and my co-host will share a recipe that we use to create community around our tables. And you will have a chance to link it up! I am currently booked with co-hosts until October, but I am looking to fill November and December. So if you are interested email me at: britney.thequietplace@gmail.com and I can give you more information. 2. Blogging Tips: I would like to start posting some blogging tips this year,
