Truth or Dare


It's not too late to order this adult version of the party game, Truth of Dare, for the holidays. Recommended in a national newspaper as a way to spice up the festive season,
Santa needn't be the only one knowing who's naughty or nice. The truth will out with this erotic card game inviting lovers to draw lots to see who gives, and who receives, the saucy gift of a spanking.
You can buy if from Chroniclebooks.com. While you're there, check out what customers who bought the game also bought.


Ron said I could buy one, and even though it's no mystery who will be giving or receiving the spanking, it would be a fun way to spend New Year's Eve.

The View from Here - Why blog?


My husband reads this blog, but I wonder if he really understands why I feel the need to write about spanking. I hope this will give him a better idea of what Hermione's Heart is all about.

After I discovered spanking blogs and started reading them, there came a time when commenting on other blogs just wasn't enough. I had so much to say I thought I would burst. It's a topic that fascinates me, and the fact that I had discovered an environment where it was safe to be myself was too good to be true.


And so I started my own blog, and I'm glad I did. I've never had so much fun! It has become an important creative outlet for me. My day job leaves me frustrated, bored and unchallenged. I need some stimulating mental activity to keep my mind active, and blogging certainly does that. When I was in school I loved to write, and after many years of doing other things, I've finally returned to it with more enthusiasm than ever.


This blog is about spanking. I know that I'm very fortunate to live with a man who enjoys spanking me as much as I enjoy being spanked. I write about my personal experiences from time to time if I think my readers might find them interesting. I'm also constantly on the lookout for spanking-related ideas. The newspaper, radio, television and internet are a few of my sources of inspiration. When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.


My posts are cheerful, upbeat and positive. I won't write about anything negative or unpleasant unless there's a happy ending. If I'm having a bad day, you won't hear about it. Nor will I write about mundane day-to-day happenings; that's just my personal preference. I like to act on the assumption that happiness is contagious, and hope I can make my readers smile.


I'm a word person, not a picture person, and I was surprised to find that I really enjoy hunting for just the right illustration to accompany each post. But you won't see any photos of me. I will never post pictures depicting nudity, sexual activity or even spanking. I leave that to the many excellent graphically-oriented blogs. My pictures are all rated for family viewing, although the content may not be.


Anonymity is of paramount importance. Because I'm a Harry Potter fan, I picked names from that series of books to use as our pseudonyms. Even the cat and dogs have Potteresque names. I will never divulge specific details that might reveal my true identity. Although I do write about real events, I change small details just to be on the safe side.


I love hearing from my readers, and enjoy the friendship and camaraderie that I have developed with readers and other bloggers. But I have no desire to take any acquaintance out of the blogosphere and pursue it in real life. I am happily monogamous, and feel that one of the purposes of this blog is to proudly show how contented Ron and I are in our relationship.

Three Cheers for Bonnie!


Bonnie, you sure have a great PR firm. That's why your blog is so popular!
One thousand posts is an outstanding achievement, and your many readers cherish every one of them.


Congratulations on reaching 6 million spanks on My Bottom Smarts. No wonder it's bright red!

The Bells are Ringing


You've all been very creative in your suggestions concerning this leather implement . . . er, decoration. Here are the guesses.

Jflame - I wonder if you were made to dress up like a cat with a pretty bell collar?
Or maybe it should hang on the wall next to your bed?
Maybe you should pin it on Ron so you can hear him if he tries to sneak up to give you an advent spank.
Hey that's good! Who wants a ordinary advent calender when you could make a Spanking advent calender?
Behind each door is 1. Number of spanks. 2. Implement. 3. Position.
Lets see how many people use my idea.
Hermione plleeeaseeee whats the answer? I'm begging now!!!!!
Jay, the Advent calendar is too funny. You really must explore that one on your blog. As for the other guesses, no I haven't worn it, and it would look fine on the wall, but it isn't there.

 
Andrades - I was thinking along the same lines as Jflame, but not quite as creatively though. I was thinking of it as a Christmas Collar, and then when you remove the collar it can be used as a Christmas Spanker, sort of a 2 for one deal. Can't wait to hear the answer, hope you have pictures!
I'll have to try it on and see how it looks. 

 
Paul - Hermione, suggest that it's something like belling the cat. Success is rewarded by the belt being used on you.
Paul, that's my favourite kind of reward, but I don't think the cat would be pleased.

 
Greenwoman - Pin the tail on the spanko?
That's terrific! I'd love to play that game.

 
Pest - Hermione, this would be more noise being used than it would actually sting. LOL! I would say place it half on the wall then half on the bedpost! That way it will have more than one use for it. I really don't think you would like my answer on this blog what I think Ron did with the bells! Hehehehe!
The noise would be considerable, and I like noise during a spanking. I can't imagine what your other suggestion is!

 
Prefectdt - He didn't actually put them on a sleigh did he?
No, but it is on something that moves.
K - Hmmm, do you hang it in front of the fireplace so you can hear Santa if he comes early? So that he won't catch you being naughty? :)
That's a good idea. It would warm up nicely too. Maybe we should try that.

 
Maryann - Hang it on the bird feeder to scare the squirrels away... like a scarecrow for squirrels?
Dr. Ken - Hang it on a bird feeder to scare the squirrels away.
Great minds think alike, but our squirrels are pretty fearless.

 
Lynne - I know this is terribly vanilla and boring but.. we have a similar set of bells and we put it on one of the exterior doors to merrily greet visitors during the holidays. Ours is rather stiff and unbending due to being stored in the hot attic for years. It would not make a very good pervertible but we are open to suggestions :)
You're close! And if you want to soften yours, use Neatsfoot Oil, followed by saddle soap.

 
G - I think it's to hang on the doorknob, but my evil mind has another use in mind!
That's where it hangs, but it's used for good, not for evil.

 
Girl - Yes, for vanilla purposes I'd say it was for doorknobs. We have larger bells at my parent's.

You guessed it. It has a very vanilla purpose. It hangs on the doorknob of the back door, and the dogs whack it to tell us when they need to go out. At least, that's the theory!

Thanks, everybody, for guessing.

Ring Those Bells!


Things get interesting around our house when Ron brings the Christmas decorations up from the basement.

We always have the same argument every year about this particular item. Is it an ornament? Is it a pervertable? Do we hang it on the wall? Do we hang it on the bedpost? Is it purely decorative? Should it be treated as functional?


What do you think Ron did with the sleigh bells this year? They do have a purpose, and I'll bet you can't guess what it is. You'll have to
think outside the box for this one.

If you haven't commented here before, now's your chance. I'll post your guesses and the correct answer in a few days.

Read at Work



If you get bored at work and want to escape into a novel for a while, http://readatwork.com/ is just what you've been looking for.


The site displays what looks like a Windows XP startup screen. Click, and you'll find yourself looking at a fake desktop with folders containing different types of reading material. Each book, story or poem looks like a Powerpoint presentation, so you can read at your desk and no one will be any the wiser.
There are no spanking stories or pictures--I checked--but it's still worth a visit.

100,000 and Counting


Wow! I've had 100,000 visitors since I started my little blog, and it isn't even a yearling yet.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for dropping into my humble corner of the blogosphere*. Without you, dear readers, I wouldn't be here.


Hugs,
Hermione

 
*By the way, did you know the word "blogosphere" appears in the latest edition of The Canadian Press Caps and Spelling? (That's a reference book for writers and editors.) So it really is a word. Who knew!
