I can see a lot of life in you.

I guess so. 

Yes, this will mostly be a blog about parenthood, but that is only because being a parent pretty much defines who I am now, and it takes precedence over everything I do.  Because of my age, I do not have any friends with children, and therefore no one to talk to about every little silly thing my son, Elliot, does that I of course find to be amazing. I feel as though I am hitting my “annoying mom” phase and must be bothering my Facebook buddies, so I am going to start gushing about my little dude here instead.

I am not fancy and I hardly understand tumblr. I don’t understand all of this “reblogging” or “tagging” nonsense, because I am an eighty-year-old woman trapped in a twenty-one-year-old bod. I will simply be keeping this blog as a journal for my own entertainment and the fanciest I will get will probably be posting some pictures of Elliot from time to time. 

In this blog I will be talking honestly and openly about my feelings toward motherhood and the responsibilities that go along with it. I will talk a little bit about the hardships, but also about the insanely rewarding and amazing moments that come with being a mommy.

Meet Elliot, and his huge hat.
