Well, this is my first. Here it is.
I've been thinking about creating my own blog for a while, and I'm still struggling with how to define this site in general.
Am I a mommy blogger? Maybe? Partly? I have two kids, and I know that some of what I write about will have to do with parenting. But my children are 3 and 5, and at least the oldest is starting to create her own social life. I am a stay at home mom, but my children are no longer the be-all and end-all of my everyday existence.
I'm also struggling about how anonymous or public to be, as well. Some people blog about their families, posting pictures of them and their children. Others even post under fake names, change their children's names, or even just call their children "Chaos", "Kid 1 and Kid 2", etc. etc. Some days I feel more open than others. But if I start out completely open, I lose the option of being anonymous later when I'm feeling more shy.
I wonder how often to post. Everyday? Probably not... I don't think I'll have something to talk about everyday. Once a week? Who knows? Sporadically? Most likely.
My feeling is, after a while, this blog will take on a rhythm and life of its own. It will define itself gradually.
So, here it is, world. Hope you like it.
