Today is my blog birthday. It’s 1. Amazing how time flies. Last year I remember working on setting up the blog. What do I call it? What will I write about? How do I use wordpress and install widgets? I almost didn’t launch it. I wanted to wait until it was perfect. Then, I realized that it may never be perfect and that I just need to get it going. I’m glad I did.

Today, 365 days later, I still post daily on weekdays. I have regular readers. People comment on my stories. I feel like I have a purpose to inspire and share information with other moms having a hard time balancing their lives with all they have to do. We all have the same struggles. Housework, grocery shopping, careers, jobs, children, husbands, and taking care of ourselves along the way.

Over the past year I have learned a lot about you. You love stories that inspire you to be better mothers and better women. You really love baking cakes for your kids. Or at least you want to try to bake a cake. Overall, you want to relate to other women going through the same things.

You find Balancing Motherhood in strange ways sometimes. Sometimes the keywords you choose are sad. Which is why I’m glad you find me here. I hope to inspire you to be who you are and to be happy with your situation — or to find something new.

Thank you readers for coming. Thank you for returning. I’m moving on to another great year — thanks to you.
