Finalist #2 - Meet Lolli @ Better In Bulk




Lolli....Lolli....Lolli.....I think what it Is that so many love about her, and her writing is her relatability....and the fact that her place over at Better In Bulk....is has a little bit of everything for everyone....she is more of a multi-tasker than I could ever even attempt to be....from Photography tips....to Giveaways....and fabulous stories and glimpses into her amazing family....


she is a well deserving finalist......



Here is how she answered my crazy...not always coherant questions:



1. In your opinion, what makes a great, readable blog?


I think the personal element and interaction makes a huge difference. I like to read blogs where I feel like I can really get to know the blog writer.




2. What traits do you think our mommy blogger of the year should possess?


I think that the Mommy Blogger of the Year should be fun, personable, post regularly, and have a good, solid reader base.



3. Why are mommy bloggers so imporant today?


Blogging creates community. It helps us all feel connected and reminds us that we are not alone. There are others just like us all over the place!




4. If you were stuck on a desereted island...what 3 things would you take?


I would take my camera, my computer, and a soft pillow.




5. What is probably the best mom story you have?


Seriously? I have no idea. Every day is filled with interesting mommy moments, since it is certainly never boring around my house.


6. What do you plan on doing if you win our Mommy Blog of the Year Contest?


I will bask in the glory for a few days and take my girlfriends out for ice cream. Or maybe I'll make them BUY me ice cream. I'd deserve it, right?!




7. What do you want the public/readers to know about you?


I am a mother of 5 kids, ranging from 4 to 12. I am a teacher by degree, mommy by blood sweat and tears, and photographer by hobby. I love to blog but I probably (*cough*) spend too much time doing it. I might not be the wittiest blogger, the best photographer, or the most perfect mom, but I try to keep it real.
