Explain why you chose your blog’s title and what it means to you
HI. My name is melanie jean juneau and I am a new writer with a problem.
This could have been a short post BUT I think that I should seize the opportunity to ask for help choosing a new title for my rough, rough draft of a collection of my posts- a book.
1. Obviously themotherofnine9 -raising nine kids on a hobby farm a means exactly what it says-I am a woman who gave birth to nine kids and raised them on a hobby farm.
2. A second wordpress blog is called Joy and is a Catholic blog that also focuses on raising a lot of kids with a cup of tea and the mercy of God for joy and strength .
3. A mish-mash blogspot blog called The Joy Of Mothering. I keep it because wordpress is interactive with comments from other writers while blogspot attracts an international audience with very few comments but has a good page rank and SEO.
The problem is that there are way too many blogs with the word joy in them and another blogger or two called motherofnine
sigh- I was going to list my top ten titles but I will spare you the misery. They are all pretty flat and nondescript. Hey why not? Just ignore all the titles if nothing jumps out at you.

?

Both are soo much better than what iItried to do– you are using my old words but combined in an innovative, catchy way I honestly love you right now. Which do you prefer?

Me too-it is warm, straightforward and not too wordy then the subtitle fills it in

I use to subscribe to Sister Patricia’s blog “Called by Joy” and I’ve always like that title. The above are great though. Pray about.

Oh dear, this is one of those days, that I am not Listening properly. Now it makes sense. I have been having problem with one of the bloggers living off comments on my post. That’s why I’m a bit sensitive. Thank you.

I just wrote a long reply and my cat jumped and all is gone..the gist of my comment was
.no worries sis, we are all in this together and never be afraid to share a word from your heart and His heart to me

“Joy o’ 9 tales” [instead of cat/ tails] or “The Whole 9 Kids” [yards] or “The EverMommy” like the Eveready battery except that some stylized children, holding hands, are coming through the opening of the number “9″ instead of the cat that was featured on the logo……. it’s 2:20 AM, I should know better than to be creative at this hour. Apologies!

motherofnine9 your comment combined with Hels has fired up my brain cells because humour is a large part of my kid’s tales but so is spirituality. I like both
