At the end of last summer I was approached to contribute to a blog network as the author of a parenting blog, but I became frustrated by the lack of support I received from those who ran the network. The traffic and links I was promised never surfaced and therefore the blog did not generate income. Without income, I was not paid for my efforts. I figured if I was not going to be paid, I may as well be blogging on a platform where I have complete control.

My Mothering blog is a direct reaction to that experience.

I’m not sure how often I will post, but one thing is for sure – the things I write about will all be about parenting and life as a mother. In particular, I am a single mother and I know that along with that role there are many special and unique issues. I hope I can adequately work that theme into my blogging.
