Blogging is such a strange thing. It's like talking to yourself, out loud, to the world. Most of the time I just imagine my Mom is my reader. (For a long time I think she probably was my main reader.)
This blog serves a few purposes - it started as a way to share pictures of the kids with my family. Then I started sharing recipes, general thoughts, and my essays, also known as political ravings of an unabashed liberal capitalist.
Then I started viewing my blog as a womens' general interest magazine. This allows me to write about varied subjects and still feel like I have a theme.
I am still a bit astounded when I realize that people actually read this.
