Holler, World.

Blogging is one of those things you keep saying you’ll do, and somehow never get around to.

Especially if you have a full-time job and kids. However, I have no children. And I have created a niche for myself of multiple freelance jobs (writing, teaching yoga, modeling), which means there are no full-time obligations in my world.

Patching together my understanding of the world, one colorful block at a time.

So here’s to doing the things you say you’ll do!

My motivation for writing THIS IS NOT A MOMMY BLOG is multi-dimensional. First of all, I am loving being the witness of my first-time mommy friends. We are learning a lot as a “village” and I feel moved to record our findings.

Second of all, I have as many friends who are single in their thirties as I do getting married, having kids, and in some cases, getting divorced. The tides are changing. And I’m here to examine those new patterns, to ask why they’ve emerged, and look at how we’re doing things differently. What’s all this noise about polyamory? Is online dating working? How are mindsets evolving around same-sex parenting? What IS mom guilt, and does it have a scientific basis?

I have lots of questions, and I’m not afraid to ask them.
