If you have stumbled upon this blog site by chance, I should start by saying I have never written a blog before. I have never written much of anything, aside from speeches for Girl Scout ceremonies and emails, millions of emails! So why start now, you ask? I am pretty much convinced that I am the only person left on the face of the earth that does not have a blog. Ok, so that’s an exaggeration, but whenever I post on community parenting forums and such, all of the other moms always have a blog listed in their profile. So, why not? I’ll give it a whirl, one more thing to do in my already busy day that may, or may not, make the cut. Heck, it’s hard to get even a little work done, let alone something requiring focus and thought like a blog. I’d much rather go to Disneyland than sit at my computer, but one can’t live all day at Disneyland. As with everything I do, I have big plans. The plans of an overachieving Super-Mom that has yet to learn the art of saying No when someone asks for help. I put a lot of thought into exactly what on earth I would write about in this blog. What do I have to share that anyone would care about? And then it occured to me. I own everything. Every stroller, car seat, bouncy thing, diaper pail and baby carrier known to mom. Well, not quite, but I own more than most people ever buy in a lifetime. I have a shopping habit. My friends all know that when they are in the market for anything related to an under 4 year old, I have probably tried it and can vouch for one brand or another. They also know that when they are bored and want to get out of the house, I am the one with the perpetual events calendar and GPS map in my head and can spout off local events and fun attractions like I was reading it from a book. So, this is what I will write about, I will write about what I know! Isn’t that where all good writers start, afterall?
