This week over at Crazy Hip Blog Mamas, they are asking us to pimp our own blogs. They want us to tell you, our delightful, got nothing better to do with their time dedicated visitors why our blogs are so great, wonderful, amazing, yadda yadda yadda

My blog was begun a little under 1 year ago when I found out I was pregnant, surprisingly, with my third child. Since then, I’ve shared every emotion a woman goes through during the pregnancy, birth and subsequent 4 months of his life and mine with my blog readers. I’ve actually been blogging for over 2 years, and I learned that in order for this blog to help ME, which is why I do it, I had to stop worrying about what my readers would THINK OF ME, and just write from my heart. On those dark days when new motherhood has gotten me down on the mat, I come here and write. And sometimes although NOT often someone will say “Yeah, I know what you’re talking about… you’ll get through this… or you’re doing the right thing, etc.

I don’t hold back. Or at least, not for most of the areas of my life.

Now the blog has taken on a family blog feel, not just a pregnancy or new baby smell feel. I write about my everyday stuff, fun stuff I find, etc. Again, it’s my blog, so I write what Iwant and you know, if you like it, great! If I’ve made a new blog friend or two, even better

SO I suppose what makes my blog so supercalifragilistically wonderful, is that it’s written by a real woman, dealing with real issues, real kids and ya know, real PSYCHOSIS! lol
