Just What the World Needs... Another Mommy Blog

Hi.  I'm Melissa and I know what you're thinking....

Do we really need another mommy blog?   Really?

I mean, give a woman a baby and an internet connection and suddenly her mundane life becomes viral-worthy.  Sure, our lives are important to us and maybe even to those around us, but to the entire cyber space?  Possibly not.

But unlike a lot of the uber-blogs out there, I don't claim to be perfect.  My house isn't pop-in clean a lot of the time.  Ok, most of the time.  My children aren't on their best behavior.  Well, my son is at preschool, I hear.  At home, well, that's another story.  A true baby Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, I'm tellin' ya.  I can't do crafts worth a damn.  I can cook, that much I'll give you.  And I try to take a decent shot with my too-fancy-for-me camera.

In other words, I struggle with being a mom, wife, worker, photographer, would-be runner, friend.  Pretty much everything I do, I struggle with at one point or another.  And I'm not shy about babbling about it to anyone who will listen to me.  Hence, the birth of this blog.  Maybe I can spare my friends a bit.

But, there's a lot of joys and triumphs in my life, too, in case you were worried this would turn into a Debbie Downer blog.  My children are hilarious, my husband creative and clever and my friends, some of the best you'll ever meet.

So, come along for my very flawed, but lovingly fun ride called life.  You know I'll babble your ear off along the way.

Question: Do blogs where the women seem to have everything in order and under control make you feel bad about yourself or give you inspiration?

Thanks for stopping by!
