gomommyblogger: Then This Happened!!

This is Me

This part always gets me. This portion where I write about myself.

*deep breath* OK, here goes:

Because you are on a Mommy Blog, I will assume that we are similar-wifes and mothers and girls trying to figure it all out.

Let me just get this one thing off my chest so there is no misleading- cooking is not in my skill set and I am a crafty-mommy-wannabe, so you may see some of that on here, but they are mostly pipe dreams of mine and I accept that.

What this site is...well, if you like to read and see cute kids and quirky, oftentimes emotional posts, I got all of that here.

I try to be real. Ugly real, sometimes. -Maybe most of the time.

My inclination is to share the highlights, but I know it is the craziness which makes you feel more comfortable, so I'll go with that.

Marriage is one of the greatest gifts I have been given, but it is also really, really, INCREDIBLY difficult for me, and I write to process it all.

My three sons are great- when they are not annoying one another and -quite honestly- me.

They are my favorite.

I read, write, and go for long walks in order to just deal.

Gomommyblogger was born out of a desire to share the fun parts of mommyhood, but it has evolved to my online space to clear my head, share my truths, and offer you a hand if you find yourself trying to juggle the happiness and the craziness this life throws in spades.

The craziness...oh, it almost sounds dainty.

My simple goal is to be a friend- to you and to myself.

Writing offers the writer perspective and time and reading allows the reader to relate or learn, or relate and learn.

If you're reading this, you're here. If you're here, I am glad to have you. Welcome.

Always, Shannon

Then This Happened!!

I may have shared on here that I joined the Rachel Hollis #GirlStopApologizing book launch. I thought I missed the cut-off and was so, very, downtrodden.
Then there was a revival- a second chance and I JUMPED ALL OVER THAT!!

The book arrived today, making me question my next book to start because, #Rachelgetspriority and I am still a #fangirl

In a recent blog post I had mentioned writing my TRUE feelings on Girl, Wash Your Face, and I still plan on it. I loved it (wrote a positive Amazon review, joined the launch team, and drank all Rachel's kool aid), and then I hosted a mom's group where we read it together. I have since changed my position because, you know, real life realities like shaking my head in agreement with other moms who weren't so over-the-moon for it. And the truth is, the shine has faded just a little.

I will give an honest review. I am hoping for MIND BLOWING (no pressure, Rach).
