When I was first asked to be a “mommy blogger”, truth be told, I had never heard of the phrase. After a little digging I found out it’s, by definition, “a mom, who blogs” ~ how original! I guess I qualify. Being a stay at home mom to two young boys, 4.5 and almost 2, my days generate a lot to blog about, though I never really took the time to do it all that often. So when this opportunity came to me, after initially thinking, where will I find the time to do this, I then thought, this is just what I need!

Part of my new year’s resolution, in addition to my annual vow to get more organized, was to take more time for me, to do something that I enjoy that does not necessarily revolve around the day to day operations of running a household and raising a family. Don’t get me wrong, I love being home with my kids and being there to engage in every step of their development, but the thought of writing something that someone can read and actually gain something from, that does not consist of talking about myself in the third person, like Elmo does, makes me almost giddy with excitement! My hope is that in the blogs written in the days and months ahead, someone will obtain something positive from reading them. Whether it be a handy tip that worked for me that day, a remark made jokingly that made you laugh, or simply just confirmation that some of the struggles you go through are universal among other moms out there, my goal is to make you want to return to read more.

So here’s to a new year and new beginnings. I am glad to be joining the Organize to Revitalize team! Got a question or topic you’d like to talk about? Let me know!

Happy New Year!
