I started writing my blog because I realized Facebook wasn’t the right platform for what I wanted to do. My facebook friends were sick of seven paragraph updates on my parenting adventures. They told me they were sick of these long posts by commenting things like, “you should start a blog” and “you should really start a blog” and “you are clogging my newsfeed, please go start a blog.”

Being the people pleaser that I am, I obliged. And wow, am I glad I did. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the enthusiasm! Your encouragement was exactly what I needed to get myself into gear and post, post, post. I’m even starting to “feel like a blogger.”

And, Guess what?! Scary Mommy is publishing an article I submitted. They are publishing it around September 21st. I’m pretty darn excited. Scary Mommy is my favorite site for parenting articles and I literally sprinted down the stairs and jumped onto the treadmill my husband was running on to tell him about getting a submission accepted. I can’t even pretend to be cool about this. I. AM. STOKED.

And, guess what again??!! Scary Mommy accepted a second article to be published on September 25th! I’ll post a link when it’s live!
