When you have real-life experiences, you want to talk about it so why not blog about it? I'm learning and appreciating that's what real blogging is all about. Sure, you have all the 'money-making' blogs and sites but if you don't have a love of what you're blogging about and you don't see the need to add new and fresh content, then why blog in the first place?
If we keep at it, the money will come later and it will be deserved-
All of my blogs are based on true, real-life, NON-fiction things, situations, etc. and yes you are right, it becomes very interesting and fun at the same time!
