Hi Y'all! Well I've been talking about it and here it is. A mommy blog. I've been wanting to start a group for mommies, a network, if you will, for mothers who have questions, comments, opinions, concerns or just a few happy thoughts, about kids or life as a parent. I have to admit, this is mostly for selfish reasons. I am a stay at home mom, as most of you already know, and I love it! However...I find myself in a bit of a rut sometimes with no adult conversation on a regular basis and at a social loss, sometimes, when I am around a group of people. Me, Jenny Orlando, at a social loss... What?

I have recently begun to understand all of those moms out there who can't talk about anything else but their children. I used to think, "I don't care about your kids lady. Stop talking about them like they can walk on water." But I now know what it's like to be so proud of what you have taken part in creating, that I get overwhelmed sometimes and want everyone to know how much work has gone into helping this little person advance in life. It doesn't help that it's pretty much all I do, besides clean my house on an unregular basis. I, of course, don't go out as much as I did before I had Maelyn and my husband works at night and I am 5 months pregnant. Those 3 ingredients alone create a recipe for loneliness sometimes.

Sooo... this brings me back to Mommies for Mommies. My hope is to create a network of moms, locally and from afar, to provide companionship and to help answer questions about kids, parenting, motherhood and womanhood. I would also like to get together now and again, with or without children, at the park, over coffee and the like, to meet some new people and spend time with close friends. If you have topics you would like to discuss or ideas for this blog / group, please post them here.

Ok, here we go! I hope this works...my psyche needs it!
Jenny
