I am Mom, hear me.....bore?

Yesterday I had the chance to catch up with my dear friend, Andrea, who lives on the east coast. We were chatting about my blog, and she asked if I'd noticed a decline in readership since becoming a mom.

I explained that my hits have gone down, but that's probably because I don't post as often as I used to. During previous blogging breaks, I've seen a definite relationship between post frequency and my readership.

But she got me thinking about the evolution of this blog and the people who read it.

I started posting about my every-day life and observations, my adventures with Brent. It transitioned to include our adventures becoming homeowners, and then to wedding planning. Then it focused on our pregnancy journey, and with Em's arrival, all about parenthood.

Sprinkled throughout the above were our fine-dining experiences and our travels -- among other things that non-parental types do with ease.

These days fine-dining is Em trying and liking a new food. And a travel adventure means a trip to Grandma's.

But ya know what? That's totally fine with me. This is the next stage of our life, and I'm embracing it with open arms. Sometimes I think the Duggars are onto something -- when I get a smile or hug from Em, I can TOTALLY understand the appeal of a clown-car full of kids.

So to all my readers who've decided they don't enjoy that my blog has turned into Em's virtual baby book-- and probably aren't reading this anyway, heh -- no worries. I get my applause elsewhere.
