I am new to three things – parenthood, my thirties and blogging. I live in the Midwest with my beautiful daughter and wonderful husband. I apparently love platitudes. I work full-time at a job I love as much as it is possible to love something that rips me from my aforementioned family every weekday morning. I started blogging because I fell in love with many of the blogs I read, and because I’ve always meant to keep a journal of my youngster’s life and this will probably be the way I am most likely to follow through with it. Thanks for reading!

You must be a fellow journalist (nut graf, lede). I graduated from the J School at IU in Bloomington!
Just thought I’d say hi!

I was an English major, so I don’t know journalist lingo. You must tell me the meaning of your blog name!

I too am a former J-skooler (from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) and was drawn to your blog by it’s name and other journalistic touches! (I think I found you from So the Fish Said…)
