I started A Mama’s Blog in January of 2007. I started the blog because I wanted a way I could preserve the daily happenings with my boys. Over the course of a year, I realized that I also wanted my boys to know who I am/was, besides just their mother, during this time in their lives while they are young. I started writing other topics on A Mama’s Blog, that I have an interest in, including pregnancy and birth issues, and my newest activity- running! I became a thyroid cancer survivor in August, 2009, and I have written about this experience. I hope some of what I write on these subjects help others in their search for information. By not only writing about my boys but also writing about subjects that are important to me (at least important enough at the time I wrote it), I am also preserving some of myself. I hope one day Ryan and Cole will want to read what I have written not only about their lives, but also my life. I hope this will assist them if they ever want to know mor
