Mommy bloggers got to blog

I love how some mommy bloggers have these beautiful walls and backdrops for their photos and I’m all “Hey! Look at this photo I snapped of a dirty downtown wall + kids who are OVER IT + mini trees!”
Also, yes, my child crawled around on the dirty downtown city sidewalk. Right towards a piece of trash. But mommy bloggers got to blog right? Truth is I’m in a funk and need your HELP.
What kinds of things would you like me to blog about? More kid stuff? More confessions? Daily life? Home stuff? Breastfeeding? What? I need ideas people, and I need you to help me generate some! 
So please….let me know what you want to know, you know? Ha.

    Even your dirty wall looks better than the ones I find!!! And as for the posts I love… Anything and everything about your new house! I also love your funny posts, like things you can't do that other moms can.

    I think you should just blog for you and your family; so blog about daily life and memories you want to have documented for future. I think not having an agenda is the best thing-just do what's right for you that day! Might be a new recipe, might be a week in review, might be a house update…any/all of it is great! Just be you!

    Haha, I love you! I have kind of felt the same way lately, but at the end the day, I just blog for me and what I want to write about! You are so amazing that if you do the same – it will be amazing too!

    I would love to hear more about how you are making it work, working from home. And how it works budget-wise!

    I miss the breastfeeding diaries! I have never come across a post on your site that I didn't like. You do great mixing things up and I love it. I want to see more of your new house! And PLEASE don't spruce it up so you can blog about it. I love REAL life posts and it would be fun to watch you settle in and get your life there going.

    I agree with everyone else! Just write about whatever strikes your fancy – weekend review, five on Friday, favorite finds, recipe shares, decor in your new house, DIY, currently, etc. Back to the basics 🙂 Also, I'm sure there's tons more people who want to share their breast feeding stories!

    Ha ha!!! Those are the pictures I usually get. Don't they realize we need pictures of them doing cute things in front of fun walls? I always love what you blog about so I'm no help, but I'll be here when you come up with brilliant ideas. I'm always a fan of kid posts.

    Hi! I'm new to your blog but I love it so far! I love reading about how we mamas balance being a mom with also being a woman and pursuing dreams we have in the midst of this crazy journey of motherhood. So sharing the balance in it all and being honest about the reality. That's what I love. Glad to have found you!
