What should I blog about?

Over the last few days I have been trying to think how I should use this blog. Will it just be for research purposes, or should it also examine more personal concerns. Like many other women artists, I find it so difficult to seperate out all the layers of my life (particularly when the children are on Easter break!!). In fact much of my research and visual work is about family life, so it seems quite important to take a holistic approach to writing this if it is to serve any useful purpose in moving on my ideas and saying something relevant to any possible interested audience somewhere down the line.

My 4 year old daughter joins my 10 year old son at school September so I am beginning to think about what to do with a bit more time on my hands. I went to a SEEDA funded conference about women setting up their own businesses which was quite inspiring. I have a few ideas that I may try to develop - perhaps as a 'social enterprise' - but my thoughts are still taking shape. I want to draw some connections between my teaching at the University College for Creative Arts, my own photo/video practice, the students and their work. Perhaps some sales opportunities - artmarket for all concerned together with workshop/networking opportunities - but not sure what format will pull all those strands together. I belong to the 'Home Interaction Research Cluster' (they haven't included my name on web page yet!) at UCCA and 'The Home' - as a 'container' for the family and (in contradication!) as a working base - will be a significant feature in developing my ideas. http://www.ucreative.ac.uk/index.cfm?articleid=17006
