Let me preface this post by saying that I cannot thank my ex enough for all his help with setting up this blog.  I have no idea what I am doing so his help is much needed and appreciated.  Having said that, this next conversation almost made the “Daily LOL” page on this site.  

We were chatting this afternoon about the blog and he suggested that I now need to get away from writing about “my personal life” and start doing book reviews or something to that effect.

Hmmmmmmm…..let me think on this one for a minute……

“Not sure that is really the purpose of the blog” I tell him, but he insists that I need to move away from the personal stuff.

Now, I might be way off the mark here, but isn’t “personal stuff” the point of this particular blog? Am I not here to give intimate details of my daily life in an effort to reach out to other moms? Do I not want to chronicle my life in order to find out if any other women out there struggle with the same issues I come across with being a mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend, second grade psychologist and short-order cook???

While I do enjoy  a good book like the next guy, and I even go so far as to make certain book links available on the “Resources” page, I am not sure that people really care about my opinion enough to listen to me ramble on in a book review.  

So, with all do respect to his advice (and  huge chuckle), I think I am going to stick to what I have been writing about and hope someone out there enjoys reading it enough to come back tomorrow and the next day and the next day to see what more I have to say.  

And if I am wrong and my audience wants me to start doing “book reviews”…well, let me know and I will see what I can do! ;o)
