A Head Scratcher


I've been seriously considering starting a food blog. I'm having so much fun trying new recipes and altering ones I already have to be healthier and more based in whole unprocessed foods. Part of me wants to talk more and more about food, health, and saving money but part of me thinks that maybe this is not something you ladies are looking for when you read my blog. I can't help but wonder if I spend too much time here talking about food and such here. But this kind of thing occupies a good amount of my brain during the day. Perhaps the thing to do is just start another blog...

If I do that then I would want to open it up to my family and friends, which means I could use my real name. You see, I'm doing this blog anonymously so that I can feel totaly free to be brutally honest about what I'm going through without having these struggles tied to my name if/when I start feeling better and need to find work. I also don't want my friends and family to know all the gorey details. They all know some of what I go through (my husband knows the most) but some of this I don't want to have to rehash with everyone. You ladies understand, right?

This blog is for me to share with and get support from others like me or curious strangers. That's the only way I can do this. If I were to start another blog I would want to connect the migraine blog with the health/food/frugle blog but not vice versa. I don't want my friends and family to connect to the migraine blog. But then if the migraine blog is connected to it and thus connected to my name then again potential employers could potentially figure it out anyway.

I don't know, maybe I could do both blogs and not use my real name with either blog, and/or just not have this one connected to the other one. It's a real head scratcher.

What do you ladies think? Do I talk about food, health, saving money too much? Would any of you like me to seperate it out into another blog? Am I even making sense here?
