I wanted to start this blog for several reasons
My self-righteous reason: when I was pregnant, I read lots of books. Most of them delt with pregnancy/childbirth/motherhood in a very heavenly, romantic sort of way. But I want to tell the truth (at least from my perspective) about all those things and the truth is that well, being a parent kind of sucks sometimes and I don't think enough people talk about that and I want to and I happen to think that I can do it with grace, honesty, and with a little humor
My lazy reason: trying to start a working mom's MOPS group takes up too much time right now
My hidden agenda reason: blogging kind of makes me feel like Carrie Bradshaw
In all honesty, after I became a mom I realized that there were lots of things that no one told me about. And I went through a couple of rough months of being a freaked out mess because I didn't know what I was doing and didn't have many other mom friends that I felt comfortable talking to. Being a parent really is a wonderful thing but it can also be a real disaster and I just hope that other struggling parents will be able to see that they are not alone.
I want to be able to talk about all those things that don't get much mention so if you are offended by talk of blood, sex, poop, money or Jesus then read someone else's parenting blog. I'm not your "coupon tricks" or "craft ideas" kind of gal. And if you can relate to that, then check me out! ( I swear, I will give $10 to the person who can tell me the song that that line is from. Excluding Emilie and Eva. It will be a welcome to my blog game. NO CHEATING!)
