In reply to Anonymous. MMS and all the bloggers run into a wall. At first it's fun and exciting with lots to talk about, especially when the money starts to roll it. But then it becomes a chore strictly for the $$. It has to be tiresome to continually whore yourself for referrals - even Bowtie seems to be choking on them.

Ha ha – I love my base niche of family travel, and don’t plan to steer too far. Just mix it up some…just like life. Mostly family oriented, but some non-family oriented excursions as well. Tokyo report absolutely in the works…after finishing Europe, Disney, and ski trip. Ha. Good problem to have. Hate to tell you, but after you cross the 90 day threshold you are a blogger. Sorry. 😉

In reply to Mommy Points. Thanks for posting your thoughts here MP! I predict a trip report from Tokyo from you soon? You have a nice niche, keep hitting at it. Veering away from it every once in a while is fine, don't do it too ofthen. That was advice from a blogger who still does not feel like a blogger...heck, I have a difficult time saying "I am a blogger" as I talk about ya guys here:-)

I don’t think anyone was complaining about MMS — they were complaining about the unjustified love of MMS while he ka-chings all the way to the bank. @Anonymous asks why MMS would NEED to quit his job? He probably doesn’t. But he can. Because he’s BloggerRich.

I stand guilty of having some different travel/miles and points topics covered on my site. Family travel is the one closest to my heart, but my daughter has gotten older, and we have been able to venture on some different types of trips as a result. Apologies it isn't as singularly focused, but life evolves and so do blogs - especially when they are tied to someones own personal life and trips (at least to a degree). The elements of travel that are virtually free (as in sign-up for x card and get x nights or miles) are still very much covered as I use those "tricks" myself. I also try really hard to be transparent things that cost money and/or status as well instead of just pretending they fall from the sky...because they very much don't.

Life would be simpler (as would blogging) if I only had one style of travel and focus, but for better or worse life is more layered in my world, and I guess the result is a hodgepodgey blog. ;)

I do censor and/or edit a handful of comments, usually because they are related to name calling or being unnecessarily ugly to me or someone else, but that number is very very small. If you left a comment that isn't showing, feel free to hollar at me and I'll see if it is stuck in spam.
