Now everyone is doing it. Writing about our kids is the same way, once it was only a few who did it and got noticed, now just about everyone does it. I try to treat my children with respect when I blog about them. They are brilliant funny little people and I enjoy keeping track of some of their more hilarious antics. That said, I am sure I will have recorded some of their least favorite stores by the time they are old enough to be bothered by this. I just hope I can help them develop into secure enough people that they won't lead unhappy lives as a result.

How much do I want to reveal in my blog? What's appropriate, and what is too personal? Do I need to have two separate blogs or am I comfortable with the idea of professional contacts (should I ever develop them!) having unlimited access to the inner workings of my sometimes crazy mind? I'm so self-centered, though, it hadn't even occurred to me to worry about how the blog might come back to haunt my girls. I love the idea of being able to read blogs about <em>their</em> future love interests, though! It goes both ways, right? How interesting! I’m kind of struggling with this right now.
