Blogger Broadcast's 300th Follower

I am stuck on what to say! I am late on getting this post up. I have so many excuses, but it's not about me today. It is about Blogger Broadcast's 300th follower! Debbie is my featured blogger today. So , go ahead click on her link and pay a visit, and make a friend. It's what we are here for.

My name is Debbie, I live in New Jersey and have been blogging since 2009. I started to blog when I was 40 years old and 7 weeks away from having my 2nd child. I came up with the title "No Filter Mom" because I felt like I'd been censoring myself for years. I don't know if it was the hormones or just my ripe old age, but I decided to unfilter myself and call a spade a spade.

My blog began as a journal of how miserable I was being pregnant. When I read those older posts now, I can say there was definitely no filter going on then. After baby boy #2 was born, blogging took a backseat. After about a year I started to blog again. I wasn't sure of my focus but the only thing I knew a lot about was trying to raise 2 little boys. I realized pretty quickly that whatever I was saying was common amongst most mom bloggers. We're all just muddling through, some muddling better than others of course, trying to figure out what's best for these little creatures we brought into this world.

I have just recently decided to take my blog more seriously. I've implemented a few regular weekly features - Take 10 Tuesday, Thursday's Thoughts, No Filter Friday and Weekend Window. In addition to that, I enjoy entering giveaways hosted by other mom bloggers and obtaining some freebies they post about. I also enjoy reading other mom's blogs, knowing there's another mom out there who's feeling my pain. The rest of my days are spent with my 2 little boys. I hope you take some time to check out my blog. Oh, and by the way, my blog header features a picture of my firstborn son when he was a few months old. I got lucky snapping that pic at just the right time.
