Hello @nalabra and thank you for your Post :)
I do all except number 2.
I call it Macro Blogging. I did Micro blogging in the world of Internet Marketing for over a decade. i.e picking a highly narrow niche to blog about like "losing weight for post- pregnant african american women"
And I like the Freedom of Macro Blogging.
More or less it's very general but quite engaging and entertaining Content that I produce.
And with things like Family and kids you have endless Fodder to use as Blog Content. Taking photos of my kids science project yesterday, taking photos of my wife's recent dinner dish, bike riding with kids , vacations , trips etc...etc..
Like I said endless stuff and you can make it very entertaining for your readers :)
great advice @robertandrew, thanks for sharing. You're right, we're never short of stories about kids!
