Our Smart Baby

We are happy to announce our first ever "top toddler mom blog of the week".

Congratulations to J's Mommy!

Please take a moment to read her brief interview with us below then go visit her blog and leave a comment. Tell her we sent you! she also has a new blog where moms can vent and share stories called Lollipop. I recommend a stop there too!

1)Please tell Us more about yourself

I am turning 30 in a few short months. I have one little girl who I call
J on my blog. I work part time at The Little Gym and also teach a private
preschool class. I stumbled onto blogging after looking to jump start my
writing career. I used to write for a teen magazine 'back in the day' which
just means before my baby. I loved it and I got to do a lot of fun things.
When I was about 4 months pregnant, the company I was working for went under and I was out of work. I had just closed on a brand new house two weeks
before I became unemployed. Hubby and I went through a lot of financial
trouble; we had to sell the house and move into a condo pretty far away from
family and friends. Becoming a mother was a struggle for me. It was nothing
like what I thought it would be. Staying home with my daughter was also more
difficult than I expected. I just now feel like I am getting used to being a
mom and my daughter is 3.

2)Tell us about your toddler

My daughter is beautiful, smart, funny, creative, stubborn, willful, and
a royal pain in the butt. Nobody can make me laugh like she does. And nobody
can make me cry like she does either. She's not the most easy going child.
She doesn't transition well, at least that's what all the therapists say.
She sees an occupational therapist as well as a feeding therapist. It's been
a bumpy road and the journey has only just begun. To be fair, J has given me
a lot of joy too. She's silly and she loves to make up words. Her laugh is
infectious and she's so friendly. Another little girl would be lucky to have
her as a friend.

3) What is the best thing about having a mom blog?

The best thing about having a mom blog is being able to talk about things
that only other moms would understand. I don't have a lot of real life mom
friends so my blog is a way to connect with women who are struggling with
the same issues I am. I wish I had something brilliant to say but my
daughter is throwing a fit because I'm 'checking my e-mail' and she wants me
to play with her.
