The time has finally come… In the Mom Light is here!!! I am writing my first post (in case you didn’t notice). I have been daydreaming about starting a website and blog for some time now, but I never actually did because I couldn’t decide what moms would find helpful and interesting. Then, a few months back, the inspiration came…
This past spring, I witnessed moms fighting with other moms over their own parenting choices. I was baffled. I mean I had heard of mommy wars, but to witness it was u-g-l-y. With all of the crap moms take from outsiders, we don’t need to turn on each other for crying out loud! That’s when I came up with the idea for “In the Mom Light.”
My inspiration came from the fact that no matter where you turn, as a mom, you’re always in the spotlight. These days you don’t even have to leave your house to be in the critical eye. Social media attacks can happen anywhere. If you’re not confident that you’re rocking the spotlight, then you are going to be nothing but a big, juicy piece of meat to passing criticizers.
So, I created In The Mom Light as a place for mothers with young children to get whatever it is they may need at the moment to help them feel better or more prepared and to help moms feel ultra confident. I decided to take a very candid approach about any struggles that I have come across in my parenting adventures. I hope that if another mom is struggling in the same area, they will take comfort in the fact that they’re not alone, and they will leave with some new ideas about how to work through it.
I plan to fill the Mom Light blog pages with information from pregnancy to toddlerhood to your relationship with your spouse and beyond. In these pages, I hope you find something that helps you or even just entertains you. I want to provide you with thought provoking information on topics that you’re interested in, so if you have a particular question or need, don’t hesitate to let me know what you would like to read. I also regularly chronicle my own journey to find confidence in being a mom. It’s usually funny and always interesting…. adult diaper optional (it’s quite a ride).
In the Mom Light blog will be good stuff. I promise. And that’s it for my first post!
I hope you enjoy!

Oh, because you know, your child should be rear facing until they’re 18. =X
Great start, Kelly! With 42 years oif Mom experience I just wish this had been around when I first stepped into the “mom light”. What I do know all these years later, is one important life rule. . . Never lose your sense of humor! Good luck with your blog!
Thanks! Trying to keep the humor alove
Geez, my iphone is killing me today… *alive…. Or maybe it was the cocktails at the unicorn party at this blogging conference. Yes, it was really a unicorn party. I wasn’t that drunk…
So excited for you! Mommy Wars are DISGUSTING. Glad you hate them as much as people hate Miley’s new haircut.
Good luck, m’lady! Great site.
haha, I love your humor and your ecards!
Love the concept. So true that we are always in the “momlight”. It’s like I am constantly walking around with a sign on my forehead that says “PLEASE give me unsolicited advice”. Actually, I just wrote a post on a very similar topic: http://www.strollerparkingonly.com/2012/08/dear-rude-possibly-drunk-random-stranger.html
