I started this blog because I felt stifled by the title Mom Blogger. And while I enjoy the friends that I have made and the opportunities that I have received because of Mom on the Rise, I most certainly never intended to write solely about being a mom. MOTR gave me cause to pause each time I began writing for fear of brands not wanting to work with me. And the truth is, that is NO way to live. Getting products and working with brands is not why I began blogging back in this form in 2003 and it certainly is not enough to keep me blogging.
So welcome to my space. This is where I will share my life. One day I will get the courage up to take Mom on the Rise offline, but until then, it will remain and I will post there sporadically.
This space is dedicated to the things I love the most: cooking, reading, and photography (of which I am still learning). I will also be writing about homeschooling, and taking care of myself because without do so I cannot take care of my family. The last part will probably the hardest for me to do as I am still learning. I am dealing with some buried demons and some issues that I have struggled every day to get over…
It is hard.
But I am ready.
Thanks for joining me!
