Aloha Friday - Comment Love

Hosted by Kailani at An Island Life, I am again going to ask an Aloha Friday question.

Per Kailani, "In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing heavy or too thought-provoking."

If you have your own blog, how does it make you feel when people leave comments? If you don't, what motivates you to leave a comment?

Leave your answer in my comments and then head on over to Kailani's blog to answer her question, and others.

    I love to get comments on my blog and I do my best to respond to them by either visiting on their blog and commenting there or replying to their comment by email.

    (applies to both my blogs)

    I too love to receive comments. I'm not sure why because my blog is simply my journal and a record of my thoughts and feelings. I always try to respond to comments however sometime I am lacking. I do enjoy visiting other's blogs and commenting.

    I enjoy getting comments on my blog so that I know who has visited. When you look at analytics, it is exciting to see high numbers but the numbers do not have personalities with them. The comments are the personalities who visit and make those numbers seem more real. I do my best to comment on the people's blog who left the comment for me.

    I am excited to get a comment. :) Just like having a present. I always visit their site and leave a comment there. I still don't know how to reply by email yet. :)

    I like comments, gets you in touch with other people. That way I can visit their blogs as well if they have them.
    I used to lurk but now I leave comments on people blogs, unless I have left more than 5 comments and the person has never responded, in those cases I just lurk and don't care to get to know the person better.

    :)

    I love comments on my blog! I do my best to get over to other's blogs and respond, but sometimes I just get a chance to read them, not post anything.

Aloha Friday sounds like a wonderful thing. I was Blessed to be able to go to school in Hilo and Hawaii is a wonderful place. Mahalo for your blog. Grace.

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

Image
This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
