		<description>So fun to read your reasons for blogging. 

You write: &quot;It’s also changed how I perceive the world.  I notice more details in my own life.&quot;

Yes, Pam, me, too. This has been an unexpected blessing of blogging. 

Thanks for sharing!

		<description>Kent and Alison, thanks so much for the words of encouragement!
Cindy, I always enjoy your perspective a few seasons down the road from me.  I was hoping you&#039;d say it&#039;s easier to balance the computer time later ;-).  That&#039;s definitely a temptation I need to address sooner than later.</description>

		<description>I think you hit the nail on the head when you touched on how blogging connects isolated moms who are home with their kids. With so few SAHMS in my own neighborhood, 20 years go, I would have enjoyed blogging even more than I do now. While I enjoy blogging now, in midlife, I find that I am finding it a challenge to balance time on my computer with life in the &quot;3-D&quot; world.

		<description>I really enjoy visiting your site.  Your insights (usually sprinkled with humor) are always thought provoking and fun to read. You tap into the challenges and struggles of parenthood, and connect us all to a larger community.   Thanks for sharing!  (Also, I wish I could write as elegantly and succinctly as you.)</description>

		<description>Pam - 

You and I have similar reasons for blogging...but you&#039;ve captured the essence of them in better words than I have found so far!  Thanks for boiling it down into an &quot;explainable&quot; format.</description>
