PM: Thank you so much for agreeing to do an interview today.  How long have you been blogging?

E: I started blogging in 2005 and I deleted my blog because it was in Portuguese only.. I started again in 2010.

PM: What time of day do you blog and why?

E: It depends what I have going on.. If I'm not too busy at work, I'll blog from there, usually around 1pm (that is my lunch time.) If work is too busy, I blog from home usually late at night around 10pm when I'm ready for bed.

PM: Do you have a posting schedule?

E: No. I try to post every other day, but it doesn't always work out that way.

PM: What's the biggest mistake you have made in blogging?

E: I'm not sure there are any one biggest mistake.  I'm sure there are a lot. I don't consider anything I have ever done a mistake but just a learning experience.  

PM: What is your favorite part of blogging?

E: I Love blogging it's a place where I come to express my feelings sometimes and sometimes just a fun way to get to know other people and for people to get to know me and the things I like .. And of course i love it when people read and comment.

PM: Do you belong to any other blog communities other than MBS? 
E; Yes I do. I belong to Blog Frog, Triberr, Lifetime Moms, Cafemom, One2One network,  Business 2 blogger, Sheblogs.org, and Role Mommy.com

PM: What advice would you give to blogging newbies?

E: I still consider myself  a newbie, I'm always reading other blogs, commenting and following people. Sometimes it get's them to follow back or comment back. Don't beat yourself down if you only had a few visitors or 1 comment, that's how it all starts. 

PM: What 2 blogs do you read on a daily basis?

E: Usually I try to visit and pay more attention to the communities, but I do visit http://www.wovenbywords.blogspot.com She's like my Twitter BFF love her blog and talking to her a great women with lots of good characters and  http://adaddyblog.com daily he has great advices and you can learn a lot form his blog and ask questions he will answer them all. and I read

PM: I noticed you have a full-time job.  Are your hours flexible to allow you to spend time with your boys?

E: I do have a full time job that I stared a year ago on November 15th. I only started working because of the money of course( we are trying to buy a house )   All my boys are in school full time and I had nothing to do with my time, lol. The extra cash helps a lot. I do spend time with them after I get home, not as much as I wish I did.  After I get home from work, I'm a little too tired and the boys are getting older so they don't enjoy mommy time as much anymore. They just want to {Hang} with their friends..hahhaha.  But weekends are our time together, we go out, watch movies and do all the fun stuff.

PM: Do you think boys are easier than girls? 

E: Well I never had a Girl, judging from what my mother says, Boys are easier ... But I did want a girl lol .. I guess God had better plans  

PM: Give us an example, please, of how your Christian faith has changed the way you raise your boys.

E: It's so hard to talk about this subject, I don't want anyone to feel offended. ( with that being said I'll give you an example)

_ My kids never celebrated Halloween, because of my Christian Faith.

PM: How does your faith in God affect your blog posts?

E: It doesn't.  My blog is like my own little Planet, I don't care what people will think. I post about anything and everything. It's my space to post my feelings my thoughts and if people don't want to read it because I talk about GOD, then I'm better off not having them there. I would Never stop posting about God just because someone has a different point of view.  

PM: What is your favorite Bible verse?

E: I have 2:  Psalm 25:4-7 "Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you. 
Proverbs 3:5   "Trust in the LORD with all your heart And lean not on your own understanding."

  Thank You, 
Sincerely, Eliane Filho
