The Mommy Blog Written by a Real Mom
While I’ve been recently very busy on the Internet, well mostly on Twittermoms.com, I’ve come across some really neat blogs! There are so many interesting women out there, and if I needed another reason to be obsessed with the Internet, I’ve found one.
While browsing Twittermoms.com I came across Cheryl Hill’s recent blog posting about something mysteriously-but aptly called the black box.
Basically this black box will ask you to decide between two options, each choice you make brings you closer to a “mystery” website of a blog you’ve probably never read before.
The Creator of this little black box widget is Caroline Smailes, she is an author who has recently written another book titled black boxes. The following is a synopsis of her latest book:
Ana Lewis is a woman trapped and ruined by her own expectations. Her intense relationship with fellow student Alex cracks beyond repair when she falls pregnant, and his subsequent withdrawals, both emotional and sexual are hard for her to bear. Eventually, following the births of their children Pip and Davie, Alex leaves Ana to a life of question and blame.
Basically, this book is about how every little decision you make shapes and changes your life forever. I now have to add this to my “must read” pile!
Oh and if you land on someone’s blog via the box, let them know how you got there! It’s always nice to have some new visitors and comments!!! Happy searching!
Warning: this tool is highly addictive!
Erin Carrasco (Real Tech Mom) is a mom of a beautiful baby boy born in March. She also looks after her other two kids (Mia and Keely, her two cats) and her wonderful husband of four years. It has taken some time getting used to not being at home every day, but being a mom is a different type of job and I admire the moms who get to be with their kids every day!
Moms like me know that just because everyone says you should do it, or not do it does not make it set in stone. For us dinner is never the same time every night and because of my husband’s job, our lives are ruled by overtime, extra overtime, travel and the crack blackberry. I am not only a mom, I’m a woman and human being. Believe it or not I do enjoy a lot more than just being a mom! Some of my passions are a little geeky but still they’re me none the less.
