The Perfect Post

Have you ever written the perfect post?  You know...it had the perfect mixture of whit, sarcasm, honesty and exaggeration.  It made people tear up, laugh, and really connect.  It was so well written people talked about it for days and linked back to it.

Well, I wrote the perfect post last night.  I got phone calls it was so good, it might have even been mentioned on the news!  What a bummer to wake up and realize it was all a dream.  Silly sleep, messing with me like that.

What do I remember about the post?  It took place in the mall, then the mall changed to my house, that changed to some art studio I probably saw a movie sometime, and ended at some complex of houses I have never seen before.  There was a cop, who was actually an iPhone seller, who was actually a thief....yeah, I don't really remember too well, and what I do remember, probably wouldn't make the perfect post.

Oh well, maybe another day!

Have you ever written a perfect post?

(I'm still taking any questions you might have for me!)

Ultimate Blog Party

April is my birthday month (yes, MONTH!) and I love a good party, so I decided to link up at the Ultimate Blog Party hosted by 5 Minutes for Mom.

A little about the blog: I started this after much encouragement from friends and Hubby.  I wasn't sure exactly what type of blog I wanted, but after writing a couple posts, it became obvious that I am a Mommy Blogger.  I love to talk about my boys, family, and share pictures.  Where better to tell all the stories that would make me a social outcast if all I did was tell them in everyday conversations, than a blog!

A little about me: I'm 29 (for another day, eeek!) and a wife and a mom and a friend.  I love to read, spend time with my family, hang out with friends, and enjoy just about anything that gets me out of housework.

About that fam: I have the best Hubby ever (really, I do)!  I have two little boys, C who is almost 3, and N who is almost 5 months.  We have a dog, Copper, who is a miniature pincher/boxer mix.

Join me as I try to make my way through this thing called motherhood without making too many mistakes!

Why do you blog?

I was reading a message board recently and someone posted this question.  It got me thinking...why do I, personally, blog?  I don't think there is really one set reason for why I, personally, blog.  Honestly, I enjoy talking about my family and know that "in real life" people don't want to hear about moving C to a big boy bed (a post will come soon!) or the dog being sick or the frustration with food allergies...or any other thing that comes in the day to day.  So blogging is a good way to get my stories out there, and if someone doesn't want to read it, they don't have to! 

I've always loved writing (even if I'm not the best writer,) but never found a way to that I enjoyed.  I don't want to write a book, diaries have never worked for me, but a blog just seems different.  I like to help people.  If someone might learn from my blog about egg in milkshakes or pick up tips on potty training their toddler (not that we are there yet!) then I want to blog about it!  And if I'm getting frustrated about something, or need help, maybe someone out there can help me.

Once I did decide to start a blog, I had to talk with Hubby about what he thought.  He's always been very particular about pictures of C being out there, just ask Becky about the "facebook picture tagging" incident :)  And there are so many people on the Internet, you might not know that someone is looking at your blog.  We decided to set some boundaries, but still wanted it to be fun for me to share stories.  We decided pictures were okay since I wasn't using C's whole name (I am waiting for the day I don't catch a slip though) and I try not to give any identifying information (where I work, specifically where I live.) 

So basically, I blog because it makes me feel good.  I get to talk about what I want to without worrying about boring people, and if I help someone along the way (and I get help as well)...awesome!  Also, there are great bloggers out there who I would love to get to know!
