News: A new youngmommylife.com

I started this blog in 2008.

It was basically a place for me to air my frustrations of being a young mom with few young mom friends, and send signals to anyone who’d listen that I’m here and IS ANYONE ELSE OUT HERE?

Two years later and I don’t feel so alone. I feel like I’m actually part of a community, part of a movement. I have met so many wonderful people here, people who have the same fears, goals, dreams as me. It’s just really, really cool.

So in honor of my two-year blog anniversary, I want to give this blog a redesign. When it’s done, oh boy, you’ll be so happy. Because you’ll be able to see more posts at once, there will be a space for you to chit-chat among yourselves, and your comments will be one of the centerpieces of the site. (You guys DO know I just write posts so I can read your comments, right?)

This blog is no longer just about me (well, it never really has been about me) but about US. If there’s anything I can’t stress enough, it’s that being a young mom requires intense support. You guys have been that for me, and I hope I’ve been that for you.

Is there anything you want to see on the new site? More photos? More videos? A dedicated space for a “Young Mom of the Week”? A submission box where you can ask your questions and get them answered by other moms? Let me know!

  1. Looking forward to the redesign, Ma! Growth is good!

  2. I can’t wait to see your new look and all you have to offer. I almost feel like an outcast being a not so young mommy 😉 I would love to see more photos!

    • @Sheliza – But you ARE a young mom, aren’t you? You had your first kid before 25, right? You qualify! :) (And you’re still young to me, anyway.) One thing I’m trying to do with the redesign is get more “older” young moms on board to help out the young’uns. :)

  3. I can’t wait to see the new blog redesign!!!!! I love blog makeovers. I think everything else you do on here is perfect – wouldnt change a thing. 😉
