Here we go...

I’ve tried this blogging thing in the past – but I just couldn’t find enough things to talk about. Maybe I didn’t do as much as I believed I did, maybe I just didn’t have as many “thoughts” that I wanted to share or felt like were worthy of sharing. Well, I started jotting down my feelings on being a new mom one day and twenty minutes later I had enough written down for the first 6 or 7 posts. So here we are.

I’m hoping to use this blog as a place to express myself – it’s surprisingly therapeutic to write down everything I’m feeling instead of keeping it bottled up and only venting to my husband when it all builds up. Why have I never journaled before?!

I’m also hoping that my thoughts might help another new mom at some point – I felt very alone as a new mom – which is sad because I have so many friends who are moms and tons of family who are always willing to offer their help and support. Nevertheless the loneliness was there – hopefully something that I put out here rings a bell with another person and they realize they’re not alone in this and that we are all here for each other and going through the same things.

Right now I feel like being a mom is the center of my universe so that is probably what most of this blog will be about. However, hopefully one day soon, I will begin doing normal everyday life things and plan on blogging about those things as well.

I look forward to hearing from you, if there are any readers!, and hearing your responses, comments, concerns, and advice that you can offer to help me through whatever it may be that I’ve posted about.

Thank you in advance for your virtual friendship!
