I'd like to first say that originally I wanted to go with The Starter Mom but I was inspired by my son always calling me "mum mum". I write from my experiences and I don't claim to be an expert, I just have to write or die. My posts often contain a lot of personal insight and it can be quite nerve wracking when you're posting personal stuff and hoping your loved ones don't get offended by anything you post. Therefore, i'd totally call myself brave. I grew up in Northern California and now I live in a rural area of upstate New York. I went to college for two years to study English and Humainities, I also helped run the school's literary and visual arts magazine. For now college has been added to my long list of "finish later". Currently i'm a stay at home mom and wife who dabbles in childcare, blogging, crafts, and other work from home ventures.
