Why do I blog?

Why do I blog?

Is it because I want to share the ups and downs of mummy life?

Or maybe because I need a place to offload after toddler tantrums?

Is it because its preferable to banging my head against a brick wall when absolutely NO OTHER HUMAN BEING IN THE WHOLE SODDING WORLD is listening to goddamn word I say?

Or is it because work gets on top of me and this blog reminds me of who I am?

Maybe because recording the ludicrous conversations with my toddler and the milestones both her and the baby reach is a way of remembering those precious moments.

Or maybe it's because it keeps the memory of my mother alive.

Yes of course it's all of the above.

But the lovely Julia (aka my fairy godmother) at What Julia Did Next has bestowed upon me this award.  A blogger of substance. And I need to sum up in 5 words my blogging philosophy.  So here goes:

Feel it Write it.

(okay that's 4 words, can't write to order clearly).

Actually I'd love to leave this wide open to anyone who'd like to pick it up, but there are a few people I'd like to 'officially' name as I'd really like to hear what they have to say.

Heather at Muddling Along Mummy
Jen at Autism the King and I
Emily at Pants with Names
Sandy at Baby Baby (who's reading at Cybermummy still makes me well up!)
Maria at Mummy's Busy World or strictly speaking her Little M as he is the one who writes the blog doncha know.

As ever don't feel obliged to do it, but if you do these are the 'rules':

1. Thank the blogger who awarded it to you.


2. Sum up your blogging philosophy, motivation, and experience using five words.

3. Pass it on to some other blogs which you feel have real substance
