On this blog.
Well, not exactly. This blog used to be a blog called Dirty Little Secret. Because it was 2007, okay?
I didn't know any better.
Which is also why I called myself "Jerseygirl89".
This was taken right around when I started "Dirty Little Secret".
This was taken a few months after I started blogging.
I was on this group writing site, and it was dying, and everyone moved to Blogger so I did too. I had no idea what the hell I was doing. I just knew that suddenly I was home with a toddler and an infant and that all my friends were at work during the day. I was lonely, dammit.
Also, anything to avoid vacuuming.
To further establish my clueless bona fides, I did not prepare a ginormous giveaway in honor of my ONE THOUSANDTH* post. Mainly because I didn't notice until about 5 days ago and it's not like brands are dying to have me host awesome giveaways. Unfortunately.
I guess my swearing, ranting, randomness, lack of editing and inability to choose a niche don't scream, "Brand Ambassador."
Oh fucking well.
- I started blogging because I love writing.
- I started blogging because the idea of people reading anything I wrote used to scare the fuck out of me.
- I started blogging because I didn't know how to make mom friends.
- I started blogging because I didn't know what else to do.
And I am so glad I did. This blog is like my fourth kid, if I had a kid who never threw up on me or talked back.
- Because of blogging, I have no fear of letting people read what I have written.
- Because of blogging, I have "met" so many people I consider friends.
- Because of blogging, I have been able to take my kids places we otherwise couldn't have afforded to go.
- Because of blogging, I have (occasionally) earned money that we really needed.
- Because of blogging, I have gotten so much love, support and advice when I really needed it.
- Because of blogging, I didn't lose my mind when I became a full-time stay-at-home mom to two toddlers.
I feel honored that you are reading this post. I appreciate everyone who has stumbled here, even those people from Russia who stayed for .5 seconds. Thank you. Thank you all for letting me call myself a blogger.
I know it's not much, but I've got an Amazon Gift Card for one of my readers. It's only $25, but it's just to let you know that I really do appreciate you guys. Hopefully after my next thousand posts I'll be able to give away a car or something. :)
