What inspired you to start a blog?
I had never kept baby books, thinking that I would always remember the first tooth, the first steps, the first LOST tooth. Yeah, notsomuch. Keeping a blog was the best way I could think of to keep track and to be able to look back. And from there, it has just evolved and grown.
How many children do you have?
3 sons, ages 10, 7-1/2 and 6
Why did you join Boston Parent Bloggers?
It is so nice to have a local network! I love attending events and feeling comforted by the fact that I am sure to see a familiar face!
What are some of your favorite blogging platforms, plugins and/or tools?
I wish I knew! I just recently switched my blog over to WordPress and am struggling with it. I need a tutor! Or better yet, someone to come HOLD MY HAND through it!
Good luck with wordpress! I switched over a couple years ago, an am just starting to feel like I “get” it – still tons to learn, though!
I’m in the Blogger to WP migration prep stage, which has been the status of things for too many months now, guess I’ve got to make the jump SOON.
It’s good to know there are others learning to swim in the shallow end of the WP pool. Maybe we should start a support group, or place a bulk order for WP water wings?
Just read the Beiber post. That is hilarious! It is SO sad to think that we would not remember those conversations if we didn’t write them down! Also, btw, I started blogging in September 2007 too. My son Kellen was just an embryo…and today is his fourth birthday! So crazy how time flies.
