Yes, TWO posts in one day. I had a lazy Memorial Day weekend which meant LOTS of time for blogging!I’ve decided to link up my instagram account to my blog!
I have been debating about this for several months now. I don’t blog for money; I blog for fun. I already have a full time job and don’t need to worry about more visitors to help generate income. But what I do have are my internet friends, who like pictures. And I like pictures. So I thought, let’s share more pictures!
One reason why it took me a long time to come to this decision was because of anonymity. Yes, I am scared that I will attract creepy people. I wanted to protect my family because they don’t have any say about me blogging. But then I realized I don’t have any pictures of my family on instagram anyway. I don’t have kids so I don’t need to worry about them either.
I am a little nervous because I frankly haven’t told many of my friends or family that I blog. I don’t know why, I guess I feel, embarrassed? I don’t know why I feel that way, but I suppose it’s because I normally am not so open about my love for decorating and travel and antiques with the ones I hang around the most. I guess that’s a silly reason not to want to share my most favorite things with the ones I love he most! I am sure more of my friends and family will now discover that I’ve had a blog running for nearly 2 years now. Hey guys! Welcome to my blog!
Even though my instagram was not shared with my blog, it was shared with other instagrammers whom I don’t have any relationship with. So the decision was then made. I shall share my instagram with my blogging friends!!
You will notice I have a feed going back almost 2 years now. I’ve been busy! Follow me on instagram here!! I love new followers and I can easily follow you back since instagram is super easy to use. And no, I won’t try to sell you anything. I already told you I don’t do this for a dime. (Yes I know I have affiliate links but if I’m being honest I haven’t seen a penny!)
You can also follow me on the other social media sites by clicking on these: bloglovin, instagram, twitter, pinterest, and google plus.

oh girl – just take the leap and tell your friends! just say it proudly and confidently and you do you! i've had a blog since before blogging was a "thing" so my people have just always known about my "online journal." i dare you to share a post of yours on your Facebook!!
&& welcome to instagram 🙂
My husband loves to tell everyone. I guess I'm just kind of shy 😊
I joined the blogging Instagram world kind of late in the game, too. Not for any reason except that I felt like it was going to be "one more thing to monitor." And then I decided to use my Instagram to share photos that I don't share on my blog. It's more fun for me that way :0) I only recently started sharing blog stuff . . . and it's still fun.
Glad you're sharing with other bloggers!

I would monitor my instagram for my personal use, not for blogging use, so I was already spending time on it anyway!
