After my road to motherhood had been a bit more difficult than we had thought, my husband and I decided that I’d stay home and be with our little one. While I’d gone to school for nearly 7 years and finished with advanced degrees in the sciences, my life had changed so much in the short time since then and so had I. Going through all of the health challenges that I had over the years and then the obstacles with the birth of my little girl, my dream of never leaving our children and raising them on my own had become more and more important to me. I thank God everyday that I’m able to live this life as a stay at home mom, a life that I couldn’t be more happy in.
But even though I stay home with my little girl and go by Mommy now, I still have career goals that just look a little bit different than they once used to. While being mom, I wanted to use the lessons and stories that I have from the obstacles that I’ve faced to help others. As I’ve experienced some rare and difficult situations over the years, the hardest part of each one was feeling alone. I wanted to be there for other people that may be feeling the same way that I once had. Hence this stay at home mommy started blogging. Blogging has been the perfect addition to my life and I can do it while being the mom that I always wanted. However, it’s been by no stretch easy and when I started blogging I had no idea that a resource like The Digital Mom Handbook existed. But now nine months later, I’ve found this fantastic book about blogging, written by mothers just like me. Audrey and Colleen share the importance of balancing being mom and blogging for yourself and your family and I just love this message is nestled within tons of priceless advice about the blogging world. Check out my video blog to learn more about The Digital Mom Handbook!
Blogging has become such a huge piece of my life and I can only dream about what the future holds for me and my family. This book will help guide me on the path ahead and I couldn’t be more grateful for it’s mommy authors, Audrey and Colleen, who have been so gracious to share their experiences and advice to help other mommy bloggers like me!
Sincerely,
Lindsay
