I've pondered over whether or not to start my own parenting blog for some time now. Being a relatively new parent (and by that I mean my children are both very young), I hadn't considered myself to be any kind of parenting authority. But looking back on the past nearly 4 years, I think I have a thing or two to say that someone in a similar walk in life may find interesting, perhaps even helpful.
The basis for my blog are my two sons, Ezekiel (we call him Zeke) and Gabriel (Gabe, of course). Zeke is a couple of months away from hitting 4 years of age, and Gabe is still fresh off the line--that is to say, he's only 5 weeks old.
There have been times when things have happened that I've thought to myself, Well, that was a lesson learned! or We won't be doing it THAT way again! It's nice to know I'm not the only parent in the world who has these experiences from time to time, and comparing notes can be encouraging to the newbie mom or dad. Parenting, I have found, is a lifetime membership in a special group where only other parents can understand and sympathize with your joys and pains and inner struggles.
So here it is, my musings as a mother of two small boys. By the way, I called it "Mummy Musings" because of my childhood and teen years in England, though Zeke has never actually referred to me as his "mummy." Here in Tennessee, I answer to "mommy," "momma," even "maaww" (note the southern drawl) on occasion.
However you want to say it, it's all good. *smile*
