Hmmm, this made me think. I never thought about school and what is to come. I am a mommy blogger for sure. Maybe I should tone down a bit….gotta go think!

The pics of Emily, too cute, I love her little dress, I want one to match….for Kaitlyn and I!

Hahahahaha! I have always laughed at that term: Mommy Blogger. There are so many posts I draft in my head then never post because of my fear of what is put on the internet is out there to come back and bite you in the . I have to say that what you do post is compelling enough … check out your site stats! Not too shabby. Keep up the great posts!

I just can’t get into that debate again. It’s probably why I hate the word “blog”. How about you’re a writer? And a photographer?

I think the tone used by the WSJ on Dooce was a little condescending.

Besides, why the pigeon-holing. She’s a blogger. We all are.

I agree. I’m a mom, I’m a blogger. I’m a mommy blogger. But I tend to blog about other things. Though I do include my child from time to time.
I find I return to the blogs that have other things to say. Not just things about their kids.
I loved the pics. She’s a doll!

Very cute outfit ! I agree with your thoughts on blogging about your kids. At some point they get to be themselves and I think kindergarten might be the time. I don’t have a whole lot of wonderful school memories either. To all those in grade 7 and 8 - LIFE GETS BETTER !

At least you’re already skilled in mentioning the fact you used to change certain peoples diapers…so I’m sure you can use that skill when your children are 20 and bring friends over.

You raise some good points. I try to steer away from the negative stuff on my blog for that reason. When it comes to Ethan (who is at school) I am happy to write about his successes and funny sayings, but probably won’t go into detail about how he still wets the bed. Ya know? And as my boys get older, I imagine I will be more careful about what I include on my blog. At the moment, they both love seeing their photos up on the “puter” and as long as I keep my posts relatively happy & up-beat (at least when I’m talking about my kids) there shouldn’t be any backlash.

I’m sorry you had the experiences you did at school. I got teased a bit (who didn’t?) but overall my memories are good ones. I hope that my boys will be able to say the same thing … it’s a shame that other kids can be so cruel.
