Mummy bloggers?!

Tertia wrote something about Mummy bloggers yesterday and it got me thinking. I love her blog because it always gives me food for thought! I tend to wonder around in a little "Midori-bubble" most of the time! If you look at my blog roll you will see that I have a category called "mummy blogs". It never occurred to me that the people I added to this group might be offended by the label, I just couldn`t think of a better way to categorise the wonderful women in the group. Some of them are members of the yahoo baby group I have belonged to since I was pregnant. Others are women I have discovered through my travels through cyberspace/ blogland. All of them have children who are slightly younger or older than my son. Maybe I should change the title of the category? I realise that the women in this group don`t just talk about their kids. I hope no-one is upset by the label. As Tertia said, it might be a naff label but I guess for me, it describes how I came across these women in the first place! Then I started thinking about how much I fit into the category myself. Do I talk alot about my son? Definitely. Did I originally start this blog so that people could see how he was doing? Probably. Do my friends and family check in regularly? Well probably not because I have yet to give them the URL. That probably seems weird to many people but since I started it, my blog has taken the place of my diary and although I like people reading it and leaving comments, for some reason there is part of me that doesn`t want my family to read it. SO much so in fact that I have considered starting a blog just for Joey where I could update my family on how he is doing. There are many times in a day when he does something and I think "must write about that on my blog" but quite often I lose my thread and start talking about something else! There are numerous times I have started a post about poo only to be distracted by something or other. I guess I hope my blog is about two of my big loves, Japan and my son. I know i don`t write well or make much sense alot of the time but sometimes it really helps me to put things in perspective and I love all the people I have "met" through my blog. Knowing that there are people out there going through the same kinds of experiences as me makes me feel less lonely and out of my depth. Anyway, I will shut up now. Opinions as to whether I should change the title of the category or not are more than welcome!!!
