Moving This Blog...Follow me!

I've decided to start a new mommy blog for lots of reasons:

• I can hardly claim jock mom status anymore...
• we welcomed our second child back in September, a sweet and sassy girl and I want a new blog to reflect our family and 
• this blog is tied to an old gmail address of mine and for some INSANE reason Blogger will not allow you to transfer blogs from one account to another.

Since I was 12, I have kept a journal, recording my every secret thought and desire.  Starting this mommy blog has been a fun experience for me. First, it's a great way to share all of the ups and down of becoming a parent with your "real" and "cyber" friends. Second, I always enjoy practicing writing and story telling and it makes me happy when people tell me they enjoy my stories. Thirdly, since I don't scrapbook or maintain any baby books, this blog has been a good way to keep track of my baby's milestones.  Finally, I have enjoyed connecting with other mom bloggers primarily through SocialMoms.net.  You read that one of the biggest rewards of blogging is forming new relationships. Whether you are a SAHM, WAHM, or a working mother, we become so busy taking care of our little ones that we easily become isolated from our friends and those who can relate to our new realities. It's remarkable when a stranger (and not your grandmother) comments on your most recent blog post and a nice reminder that we all have something important to say.
