I am thinking about switching blogs, or at least starting a second one. I don't blog much here because it is a pretty personal blog, with my two lovely followers, and most people keep up with me on facebook. SO, I've been considering writing a blog for Mormon Moms. And not just any Mormon moms, because there are a lot of those kinds of blogs out there! But one specifically aimed at moms like me who need to work. There is lots of stuff for working mommies out there, but from the world's perspective where it is OK to be at work, and life is harried and crazy anyway. (And why do all those blogs seem to require swear words and references to poop?) And I am always in love with the crafty, ingenius offerings of my lucky sisters in the gospel who get to be home with their kiddles. But what of us ladies stuck in the middle, longing for one and living the other? I guess I just want to put something out there on the blogosphere that helps ladies like me feel connected, understand the doctrines of family and gender, but find peace and success as mommies who happen to have to work. What do you think?
Here are some ideas for naming my blog:
"Not Another Mommy Blog"
"The Best Intentions"
"Because Mommy Said So"
"A Box of Chocolates"
"Mrs. Sister Dr. Mom"
"Mormon Mama"
Which one do you like best? Will you read it? Here are some ideas for what I'll write about:
Balance versus Juggling Time
Handling Housekeeping
Fitting into the Ward Family
Love the Woman in You!
Negotiating Pay (since ladies are still paid less than men, if we have to work, let's get paid equally!)
Budgeting PTO
etc.
Thanks for your feedback!
