First and foremost, I must make a confession: I once greatly disliked the concept of
“mommy” blogs. Quite frankly, they scared me. It seems like everywhere I turned
on Facebook and Pinterest someone else was sharing a link to a mommy blog with
yet another terrifying story about pregnancy, labor and delivery, newborn care,
or some other baby-related topic that left me questioning my own wish to one
day be a mother.
However, things change. With my first baby on the way, I can now say that I understand the value of mommy blogs. Sure, some still scare me to my very soul, but there is a lot of great information out there too. I think I have discovered the main reason that mothers blog about babies and the like so much though, and it is not to just share their adventure with the world. No, the reason mothers are blogging is because they need a place to vent, to share, to justify their thoughts, and to validify their feelings. Though I am barely a member of it, I can see now that motherhood is a community in a sense. It just happens that mothers can connect to this community online, and reap the aforementioned benefits.
With all that said, I have a new respect for mommy bloggers. Though I am not sure how far I will go with this endeavor, I am happy to join others who seek a place to escape the chaos and relate to others in similar situations. I have found myself at a bit of a breaking point (so much to the point that I am spending a week on a secluded ranch in the middle of nowhere,) and writing really is an act of relaxation for me. I also use humor and sarcasm as means of dissolving my tension, so I hope that if nothing else, this will provide someone with a few good laughs.
I will be exploring a multitude of topics and stories, ranging from humorous husbands to insane in-laws, and everything else in between. Buckle up and let’s head to the barnyard, where chaos is aplenty and the laughs are many!
