There are many different kinds of blogs.
Sharing blogs, recipe blogs, religious blogs, mothering blogs...
Mothering blogs....sigh....
There are many blogs that I have fallen in love with, only to be disappointed to realize that the blogger really had no greater credentials than I have.
There are so many blogs out there offering parenting and spiritual advice, but only from the heat of the moment they are experiencing at the time.
Parenting is such a ever changing process. The "wisdom" that I gained with just two young children no longer applies to the two young children that I have now. The spiritual advice I would have given myself as a mother of young children no longer applies, yet I still have young children. The way I ran a household even just last year does not apply to how I run a household now.
I don't need a mom in the process of motherhood giving me advice on how to be a mother.
If that is what you are looking for, this is not your blog.
I don't have any answers. I've tried a lot of different things, but really, life is very case specific. So unless you've had 5 kids in 6 years, live in NC and are married to a nurse, my life is going to look very different from yours.
I also don't believe that my job is harder than my husbands. I don't feel like I deserve a break all the time or that I'm always deserving time away from the kids. I like "girl time," but I don't deserve it any more than my husband deserves "guy time." My husband works very hard. He has a great burden on his shoulders to provide for our family. In no way do my responsibilities at home trump that.
So really, all I can offer are the experiences that I have. I like to share and write. That's why I have a blog. It's also nice for family and memories.
That is my kind of blog.
