Why Did You Begin Blogging:

As a former TV reporter turned stay-at-home mom, I was really looking for a creative outlet. Blogging allows me to work when my kids are at school or napping.

I love humor writing and all the immediate feedback from readers is wonderful. I never expected to be a "blogger" but here I am.

Little Reasons for Being a Stay-at-Home Mom:

Two daughters, ages 4 and 2

How Did You Decide to Become a SAHM:

After giving birth to my first daughter Dylan, I knew almost immediately that I wanted to stay home with her. I just couldn't imagine leaving that sweet face five days a week. So I went back to work part-time outside the home and then eventually shifted gears so that I could work from home during naps and at night. I'm grateful that we could do it financially and even on the most frustrating days (when I've cleaned up the house for the 10 millionth time), I've never regretted my decision.

Most Rewarding Part of Being a SAHM:

Getting to witness all those amazing little moments like when my girls are dancing in the rain or practicing their downward dogs and other yoga moves together. I would hate to miss any of it.

Biggest Challenge You Face as a SAHM:

The days can be long, draining and sometimes lonely. This job is not for the weak. But I feel truly grateful that I get to stay home with my girls. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Best Advice for Other Stay-at-Home Moms:

Get passionate about something. Writing, photography, cooking ... anything that inspires and excites you. As we take care of our kids, it's also important that we take care of ourselves and grow as individuals.
