#TheMommyFiles #RedheadMom #blog #blogger

It’s so hard to believe that I’m going on 9 years of blogging now. I started my blog in July of 2008. It was my outlet to connecting with other stay-at-home moms who had babies at home. I’ve always loved to write, but never imagined making a career out of it. Heck, when I was a kid, I wanted to be a doctor and then a teacher, but I became a blogger and mom! I love my job! I never imagined having a blog called Redhead Mom.

After doing some research, talking to other bloggers and dragging my feet a little bit, I decided to embrace my life as a Redhead Mom. Part of embracing my life as a Redhead Mom was rebranding my blog from The Mommy-Files to Redhead Mom. It’s been quite a process, but I am definitely excited for the potential and hope to keep my loyal followers, as well as gain new ones.

#TheMommyFiles #RedheadMom #blog #blogger

Not only will I be sharing about our present life and activities as a blended family of 8 (yep just like the Brady Bunch with 6 kids), but I will also be sharing about some of those activities and things from my past that never quite made it on the blog. I hope that you’ll come along with us for the ride.
