Blog Profile: Frumpfighter

The Soft Blog has started to regularly profile blogs that cover issues related to Autism, Aspergers, Sensory Processing Disorder, Special Needs, Parenting and more. The purpose is twofold--to bring much deserved attention and traffic to blogs that deal with these topics, as well as to create a resource archive on the Soft Blog--for our readers and Google searchers everywhere. If you would like your blog to be profiled, email us at info@softclothing.net. I recently got to ask Angie Holmes from Frumpfighter some questions about her blog:

What is your blog about?

Frumpfighter is about improving your life in general, whether it be by eating healthier, exercising more or spending more quality time with your friends and family.

How long has your blog been up?

Since January 2009

What was the inspiration behind starting this blog?

As 2009 crept up, I knew my 20-year high school class reunion was approaching. My goal was to lose weight, be happier and less frumpy! Once I started, it became natural and therapeutic to write about my son's autism, struggles with employment and finances and the art of perseverance.

What's your favorite part of blogging, or what was one positive experience you have had in conjunction with your blog?

It has been therapeutic to write about very personal issues. The feedback has been tremendous. I love getting comments from other parents who have been through the same struggles with their children with behavioral disorders.

List three or four of your favorite or most popular posts (with links).

Anything else you would like to share?

I am transitioning to be an multimedia journalist at The Gazette in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I plan to write more about families, lifestyles and other features. Topics are always welcome.
