The other questions were:
1. This is my favorite thing about being a mom......
2. This is the hardest thing for me about being a mom....
3. I'd like more posts about......
These questions that were open ended will all be talked about sooner than later in this blog. A lot of moms said that the simple things about motherhood are their favorite things. That's good. Simple things happen most often! There was a lot of frustration or distress about discipline issues and keeping our tempers under control, as well as questions about babies to teenagers. And many of you asked for more food and activity ideas. (that's why Friday's now include Foods, and I'm trying to give ideas of things to do with kids in more posts than just Thursday's Things to Do.)
Every answer to these questions gave me a million ideas of things to address...and each one will be. Though some I'll have to do more research for so it'll take a little longer. Please keep giving me suggestions, or asking questions.... Just shoot me an email or post a comment.
Thanks for all your help with doing this survey! You've given me great insight in how to fit this blog to YOU!!!
