Starting a blog is a huge undertaking. I guess it would be best to start off with a small explination of why I felt like blogging was something I would like to do. As I see it, this blog is first and most importantly for my boys. Childhood memories fade all too fast, and the past 4 years have been too much fun to forget. I started keeping a hand written journal when I became pregnant with At. I was able to keep it up until he turned 2 and then tried to take it back up when we found out about Em but once you have a second baby in the house you need every spare second for catching up on sleep.

Since Hipster Mom is brand spankin new I am sure it will evolve as I go along. If you happen to stumble upon me here in the early days please feel free to give me your input. Your comments may piss me off but I am too busy to let it get under my skin for more than a minute or two.

I have always enjoyed writing and hopefully this blog will give me the oppourtuinity to improve my skillz. Blogging also seems to be a cheap and easy way of avoiding the therapists couch. Who wants to pay for therapy when there are so many great shoes out this season?

Speaking of shoes, I cannot even thing about how many cool sites I have found on the web just through scanning the blogs I have kept up with. Another reason for starting this project was to make an attempt to get the word out about cool sites other moms (who refuse to dress their kids like they will be attending an infant only event at the country club) might be interested in. It took me hours to find a site that sold tiny Ramones t-shirts when my first son was born, all you have to do is click.Luckylildevil.com

It’s time to return to the land of mom. Until later…
