Mom is Back to Blogging Basics
Posted by Mom at 8:31pm in BloggingI’m back. Another post in August of 2007. Two posts in a month. Wow.
Seriously, I have contemplated whether to ditch the blog on momcominghome.com and after a few days of going back and forth I decided to try again. I enjoy writing. The few posts I’ve written in the past still receive traffic from search engines. Instead of just jumping back into this willy-nilly, I wrote down on paper what I needed done here in order to make blogging a habit.
At the top of my list was to upgrade Movable Type. The IT geek in me, relished this task and I just finished a few hours ago. I love it so far! Next, is a re-design of the site. I don’t know the first thing about design. What I have figured out for my basic layout is compliments to Elise at Learning Movable Type…thanks Elise! I need an updated look with some eye-popping graphics, but I won’t let that stop me from writing. I’ll plan the re-design for the Fall. I also need to make this a habit and how I do that is like everything else…schedule it. So I have a task to be back here tomorrow to write. Lastly, I need to find my purpose. What am I writing for, or about.
When I started this in 2004, I was a WOHM and I longed for the day that I could stay home with my babies. Read this entry: My Original Motivation for this Site, I think it explains it all nicely.
Now, I’m a WAHM (Work at Home Mom) and while I’m home and my babies see me more often, I still work for the man! I also dream of working for myself some day. Yes, I know being a network engineer is gloriously satisfying. But there are days (and nights) where the frustration is high and the hours logged on my laptop are long. Baby A must think every mommy has a laptop growing out of them.
So, I feel my purpose here is to write about the things I do best (WAHM, saving money, balancing WAH and raising six kids, etc.) as well as my journey to work at home for ME!
I guess the name still says it all…Mom Coming Home
