The Title Says it All: This is a Blog About the Journey of a Mom
It is really hard to write your first post for a blog, so I will just use this as an introduction to me and my blog and what I want to accomplish here.
This is not a journal of my life by any means. In fact, I don't want to bore you with daily accounts of my life. Instead, I want to talk about real life experiences on a real time basis. But first, I want to introduce myself so you can fully understand who I am.
My name is Laura Page-Hamelin, and I am currently a mom of three; a boy and two girls. Although I never birthed the boy, I still love and treat him like my own, and in today's day and age, with so many split families and mixed families, I feel it is even more important to treat any child under the parental umbrella and under the same roof, as your own.
I work hard, I am first and most importantly a mom, and a wife. Secondarily, I work full time as social media marketer, and I am an author illustrator, with my most recent book "Susy the Soother Fairy" to be released in December of 2013.
My books are for children, and they are inspired by my children (and my dog). I love drawing and coming up with poetic story lines. But what I really like the most is keeping it simple. I still believe in hard copy books that you can touch and feel and throw around without breaking or worrying about cracking screens. I still believe in being able to pack a book full of bags for a road trip and colouring with crayons on paper. I don't think gone are the days of that yet. So my main material is designed for a visual and sensory experience with educational components. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge advocate of technology as well. In fact, some of my books will be available on tablets and the like, but I still need and want the tangible.
Here is what I want to accomplish with this blog. I want to provide my readers with valuable information around travelling with a family, work life balance, community involvement, social groups, great experiences and great products. I want to recount real life experiences to real people like you, and I want to do it in real time, during my journey as a mom so we can associate with one another, laugh with/at one another and share stories. I also want to welcome feedback and suggestions so that we can keep this blog interesting and keep it going!
Looking forward to chatting with you.
Laura Page-Hamelin
