Hi. Welcome to another BOLDER BLOGGER post.
This is my space. I’ve been here for 5 years. Yup, since 2009. Did you know I actually started by guest posting recipes on the kiwi’s first blog? Then I moved to my own blog.
Then here –> self hosted.
This is my space. I am not big blogger (trust me, stats are deceiving). But I do DREAM BIG… wait.. I should rephrase that.
WE DREAM BIG.
This is my space. I invite you here. Come as you are.
Do not feel the need to comment. Only feel welcomed. But if you want to comment, you know I welcome that too!
This space is to share our dream in hopes that it encourages other people’s dreams. Together we find encouragement.
This is my space. I talk a lot about what I am passionate about and that includes my husband, his career, being sherpa wife, my faith, fitness, running, and gluten free eating. I won’t be offended if you don’t “get” me. I’m crazy corny Cotter.
This is my space. I’ve shifted focus so many times in “this space.” And I’m doing once again. From selling healthy bites to creating my recipes, ebooks, and so on. Yes this is my space. I want to utilize. I want to profit from it (God willing) in order to support my husband. In order to support us. That’s part of our dreaming big.
This is my space. How long will I be here? I don’t know. Sometimes I’ll post a lot, and sometimes my space needs space, haha. But I know that I continue to share here because of this amazing community. 
This is my space. It’s an open space. Free to talk real. Free to vent. Free to celebrate. Free to be JOYFUL.
Thank you Shannon for this Pic!
This is my space and you know what? ……………
There’s always a spot for you.
Cheers,

You may not think you are a “big blogger” but in my world you are on top. You are so sweet, caring & kind..I haven’t even really “met” you but the fact you write back to comments, questions and emails just shows how wonderful you are. My recipe book is now filled with all your yummy creations too!
you’re*** (Must proof read more)!
I adore you friend.
I love the crazy corny Cotter! You are such a sweetheart and I love this space you’ve created. Keep dreaming big, friend! <3
thank you friend. I will! you too! <3
Love this and you. So thankful that you share your space with us.
I love that you’re simply YOU. And I can’t even begin to express how happy I am that we met through this crazy world of blogging. Hugs sweet friend!
Amen. I needed this today. I love your space and all of your cornycrazycotterness. Seriously. Loved. This. Xoxo #nuttynerdynewman
I love corny Cotter 😉
I have really tried to embrace my blog in the same way, too. It has been good, it has been bad, there have been times (last year) that I lost it and only posted a few times a month but, as many times as it changes, I know it’s still here for me and the wonderful friends I’ve made through it are still out there and it’s a great feeling! It’s my space and I know I can always turn to it!
oh and you have and i love it kelly!!
I have loved watching different bloggers grow and change through the years, you included. Keep dreaming big, my friend. 🙂
oh i so agree! we’ve changed.. and well.. added on (like your little additions. hehe)
Love this 🙂 you go this space with things & people you love! Love!
<3 <3 you friend.
This is such a fun post!
Love you space – corny or not. 😉
One thing I notice, you are always pushing forward past the trials you are faced with. Always finding a way to move forward for the life you want to create. total inspiration.
thank you for helping me and inspiring me!
What a beautiful post, Linds!
You are a big blogger to me… then again you are BIG in my eyes. I always feel like we are chatting over coffee when I read your blog…. Oh I miss you!
Whoa baby! Don’t TEASE ME with those Bison, Bok Choy bakes!!!! Where is the recipe MISSY! I drooolllllll!
here you go lover https://www.cottercrunch.com/2013/06/endurance-foodies-meets-iron-chef-bok-choy-egg-and-bison-bakes/
Love it! 🙂
And agree with some above that you are a “big” blogger to a lot of us 😉
I think it’s so important to just be You!
Oh you are kind jenn! Cheers to being you!!
I love your space and the comfort that I often find when I visit it. I’m glad that you share it so willingly with us!!!
and i am glad you put up with my corniness. haha
Love this post and I am incredibly glad I found your blog and started following a while ago. You are true inspiration on so many levels!
oh friend, i am so glad we connected. Ill be cheering for you in Boston. Always here for you.
This is beautiful. Blogging is such a wonderful thing, and something I have grown to love. I want to start self hosting, any suggestions?
i’d hire someone, if you want the stress free way! so worth the $!! Pbjennydesigns did mine! link on the right sidebar. <3
Corny Cotter, I love you. Well said.
I love your space! 🙂
as i do you yours miss molly rose!
I love your space. It’s definitely one that I visit regularly. 🙂
From day one “your space” has comforted me, been a place of refuge for me, and above all has given me the precious gift of your friendship. Your space is LOVE.
oh that means a lot. I love you and cherish our space together.. friendship
I love your space and thank you for allowing me in on your space.
Awww … sweet post. I always come by to check on gluten-free ideas 🙂 I think the topic of this post is very important. Years ago when blogs first came on the scene (I’m old! haha) … they were more journalistic and diary oriented. There are some I’ve followed for years and the morphing/change is very normal. We all grow and change as humans, it wouldn’t make sense for the blog not to do the same. Keep up staying true to you and your dreams!
you are not old! and i so agree. we have morphed. or rather.. evolved, right?
Perfect.
I’ve been blogging for so many years too, and no my blog isn’t as big as some consider “big” to be, but it’s mine and I love it. And I write things for “you” but I write things for me.
your big to me.. big heart and all
I love this, Lindsay! I’ve definitely learned that blogging is about the community and the sharing of experiences, not the stats.
so so true alison! well said
I love your Corny Cotter Corner of the interweb… and also when Wino Windsay gets a little crazy!!
Confession:
I have a blog and I am really trying to embrace my space but something is not gelling like it used to…. yet? I think it may be the layout, but it may be more of a loss of why I am blogging. That feeling has been in the gut but seeing this post really bought it to my attention. Must figure this out eventually.
i think your blog is evolving into what GOD has in store for you. It’s become bolder and nourished.. ya know?
I love being in your space. Rock on, my friend!
brothers gotta hug!
I can’t even remember how I stumbled across your beautiful space, but I’m so happy I did. Love, love, love. I’ll see you at Blend this year, yes? Please say yes…
I’ll be there, with bells on… and a big HUG for YOU
I think “big” is a big, relative term. You’ve had a tremendous, positive impact on so many people (more than you even know)! XO
oh friend, i feel the same towards you. BIG HEART
And THIS is why I love you and this blog! Because you’re YOU! Thanks for keeping it real and being so welcoming to us all. xoxo
and why i love you friend… sister. <3
I think your an awesome blogger Lindsay! I can’t even remember how I stumbled upon your blog, but I love it and I love your honesty. Your real and that’s what I look for most in a blog and blogger. I hope we get the chance to meet in person one day…maybe the Blend Retreat!?!
i am so glad we found each other. and yes, i’ll be at blend! yay!
This is why yours is one of my favorite blogs. You’re genuine because you’re YOU, not because you’re trying to be “authentic” (hate how that word is overused!). Even as a new little tadpole in the blogger-pond, I always feel comfortable reading/commenting here in your space.
You’re hospitable, and I love it. Thanks for opening up this space to us. 🙂
i love that you feel welcome, cause you are! anytime. SO good to connect with you!
I just love you.
love you more
And THIS is why I love coming to your space – because it’s 100% authentically YOU!
You are HUGE in my book & so glad we have become virtual friends!! Love you friend!
I love your home and your space and being part of it every day my friend! LOVE you!
amen sista!! love ya

I love reading your space <3 keep doing your thang girl
I love you and your WONDERFUL blog!

Oh corny Cotter, you’ve done it again. This is simply fabulous.

I am so glad to have come across your blog and YOU. This is YOUR space…run with it, embrace it- let us embrace you.
i’m so glad came across your blog… via twerking. 😉
I am so glad that you’re the Crazy Corny Cotter! We can be the Corny Lindsays together 🙂 PLEASE tell me that you are going to Blend again this year! I’m making it my mission to get there this year 🙂 Keep dreaming big, my friend! We’ll be there in your corner. Mwah!

Me, I love your space….you…and everything in-between 🙂
I like your space. It’s pretty sexy.
I’ve got a burbee challenge coming up, and it makes me think of you.
ahh thanks! am i bringing sexy back? wink wink
I’ve been following you on Instagram for a while and then started reading your blog. I felt the desire to comment just to say hi!
I love this and I love you and the kiwi!
we love you more!
Love this! I know I don’t read/comment nearly as much as I used to (or would like) but I want YOU to know that every time I do, you inspire me and uplift me! You are such a beautiful woman, a loving wife, and caring friend! I’m lucky to have you in my life! xoxo
Ahh. Thank you for the reminder. As a fellow seasoned (not-big) blogger I’ve had the same growing pains.
I just gotta let my space … simple be.
Thanks.
