Happy 1st blogging birthday, MothersRest

Ladies, we made it ONE YEAR! How is that possible?

The MothersRest blog made it  ONE YEAR! Thanks to you.  For fun, here are some stats.

It’s all thanks to you. You are my people!. You are journeying with me through parenting misadventures and reflections on life and the occasional sleep tip.

This blogging thing began December 14, 2015 with: Welcome. In it, I talked about my vision for the site – to be a love letter to moms, from sleep deprived to joy-arrived. And I think I’m getting there. The funny thing is that, while sleep deprivation drove me to reach out to y’all, the joy-full posts filled with laughter are the ones you most want to read. Suits me fine to bring on the Southern flare served up with a little side of sarcasm.


Here are some fun stats from 2016, aka, YEAR ONE for MothersRest.
