Who is writing this blog because I don't want to forget all the crazy, silly, gross, off-the-wall unneurotic things that I do as a new mom. Because I don't want to forget how I started and where I'll end up. Because I know it definitely won't be the same with my second or third child. Because I love this experience and never want to forget that I'm That Mom who blogged about it. Who loves being a mommy even if it means I'm not perfect some days and that I'll never do it 'by the book.' Who has learned that parenting doesn't have a manual and it comes by trial and error.
I'm That Mom.
