National Blog Posting Month

Don't be shy... say hello

If parenting teaches you one thing it's that lurking unnoticed is nigh on impossible.
Post to say hi.

Hi there :) I'm usually a "lurker" type but you called them out ;) I'm Christine - and I'm 26 years old. I am "Momma" to a two year old (three in late January) tornado. I also am "Mom" to a furbaby Labrador - he's over 100lbs, so he SO counts as a child! I pretty much blog everyday anyway - so I look forward to networking with other bloggers :)

Maybe it's because I'm only the Dad and everyone seems more experienced that I lurk...

But I've got 3 sprouts, with a debate on a fourth...
They range from 8 (almost 9), 5, and 1 (almost 2)
Boy, Boy, Girl respectively...

I don't blog much about parenting, it's always more about our life (If it has anything to do with my kids or family) but I post a ton of pictures usually, so family can see them...

Who? You talkin' to me? I never lurk. I always comment. In fact some people probably wish that I would stop. So OK. I'll stop. Right now.;)

Hello! I've got two kids of my own but also teach first grade, so I call 15 others 'mine' from 8-3:30. Looking forward to getting to know others!

Hello, my name is Jen and I recently became a mommy to a lovely baby boy, John Richard. It's exciting watching him grow and learn. Now I fully understand what my mother meant by time flying by way too quickly. He's been in my arms for 6 weeks already, but I feel like I just brought him home.

Lately my blogging has been about mommyhood. Wish me luck today, first 24 hour period totally alone with the wee one. Daddy has an extra long shift at work today.

*hugs*

Hey there...my little one turns 3 in December. Thinking about a new one in the near future. How do working moms juggle everything? That is my challenge.

My kids are 6 and 4, and the answer on the juggling is not very well, in my case! LOL The house is never picked up, I'm always behind on laundry, and I do spend more time than I probably should on the computer. But it is for my own sanity! LOL

Mrs. Bee left me at home to look after the kiddywinks.

Hey there, my little one (girl) turns 3 in December too. I've got an older one as well (7, a boy). In answer to your question, I don't think working moms can juggle everything ... they've got to be selective on what goes up in the air and what gets caught! At least that's been my experience. Don't let that hold you back from having another one, though. It just gets better!

I am a proud Mummy to a 14mth old girl. She has just discovered NO! and her independence *sighs*. Ain't toddlerhood grand? We are trying to get pregnant with #2.

I love my daughters (6 1/2 and almost 1) and enjoy watching them grow and explore the world. Having two kids is like going from zone defense to man-to-man defense. Usually, my wife or I escape to go to "bathroom" for a brief respite.

Hi there! I'm Corinne, and my little Squiggles will be 6 months old in just a couple of weeks. Time flies by so quickly! I work outside the home, unfortunately, so I'm constantly missing him and guilt-ridden. Which I think I'm just going to have to get used to.
