I love to write! As a blogger, I depend on my writing to help make a living for our family. Sometimes it’s just really hard to think of what to write or how to get my thoughts onto paper. We call that Writer’s Block (or in the blogging world – Blogger’s Block). When suffering from […]...

It’s hard to believe that 6 years ago, I started The Mommy-Files. I was married at the time and had a family blog, but wanted a blog that was all my own. A blog where I could talk about motherhood (both the struggles and joys), connect with friends and family, and share my experiences through […]...

None of it seems easy and it seems like everyone knows just a little about everything; so finding one place for any piece of information is a lifesaver. There are great resources available but I was […]...
