My mom’s blog
Uncle Will and Aunt Jaime brought this shirt to Katherine when they came to visit last week. It says, “My Mom’s Blog Is Better Than Your Mom’s Blog.” I thought it was pretty funny. It is a bit sassy. Really though, blogging is not a competition. I love reading everyone’s honest thoughts - sometimes funny and sometimes thought provoking-always fun.
Blogging has been a lot of fun for me. I have always kept a scrapbook but this is different. There is a lot more writing and journaling. This is a great way for me to keep track of Katherine’s first year (and now beyond). It is also a great way to allow friends and family to keep up to date on what we are up to as well.
When I started my blog, I knew a few other people who were into it. The main person was my college friend, Chrys. I started reading her blog and the blogs of her friends. Then it was weird when I would meet her friends and we already knew all about one another from reading our blogs. In our gym dandies class there are several of these virtual friends that I now know IRL (in real life). Check out the blogs of Chrys , Erin , Kirsten , Tara , Sundee , and Karla .
Now it is fun because in the last 2 months I have had a number of other friends who have started blogs. Finally, an epidemic! Check out the blogs of Amy , Lauren , Jen , Laura , Kim (in Africa) , Jill , Erin , Gretchen , Kim (in NYC) and Heather .
And if you are reading this and you do not yet have a blog, what are you waiting for?
