I'm not a Blogger

In fact, I am an anti-blogger. I think of bloggers as people who are either trying to make a buck or two off the Internet, or just jumping onto the blogging bandwagon because it's trendy, and I am against being trendy. Yet, here I am.

I need a hobby, and I decided that sharing my experiences as a new parent with whomever happens upon these pages will have two benefits.

First, I am hopeful that it will give my brain a little more exercise than it gets from talking to babies all day. It's almost completely turned to mush as of late and I'm afraid I may have even started too late...only time will tell.

Second, there is always the chance that I may be able to offer some useful information for somebody. I believe that learning from one's own experience has the greatest impact, but learning from someone else's experience isn't that far behind.

My girls bring me immense joy on a day-to-day basis, but I find that as I celebrate the achievement of one milestone, I have new challenges awaiting me with the next. I intend to share my challenges, solutions, and general thoughts on child-rearing with you and I hope you will also share your thoughts and comments with me.

And so it is...I am now a blogger!
