Amanda, CEO of Beans & Co., asked why I visit the mom blogs....
That is a very good question with a 3 pronged answer (as many things in life are 3 prongs):
1.) In reading your blogs, I hope I am less shocked by the things that will come my way as a mom. I do not think it will make me a smarter mom, hopefully just a little less frightened and a little less alone in the drama.
2.) I enjoy learning about people's lives and the way they do things. Knowing more options in child-rearing, marriage, birthing, etc. than what I was exposed to growing up, will only make my decision process better. Also, I truly love having "blog friends," and knowing your kids is knowing you. Plus, kids pictures make me smile...and we all need that in a work day. I do hope I get to meet some of you one day. There should be a tour of "Freak Alex Out: she babysits, we laugh" Tour. I get to meet you guys, you get free babysitting.
3.) It is just funny.

Great answers. And comeon-I am always looking for babaysitters-and free to boot! A bargain.
Alex, DO IT!!!!! You are so invited to make my house a stop on your tour!! Plus, I'm really fun. I swear.
In fact, forget the kids. maybe I'll just hire a babysitter and you and I can hit the town!
Forgot to tell you how much I LOVE the Beans & Co!!!
Alex, Please come babysit, OOPS, I mean visit. We have a great Mexican restauarnt about a mile away.
The Good: we walk to the restaurant.
The Bad: we have margaritas and chips.
The Sweaty: we stumble home.
Let me know when your tour comes to Colorado!
Just found your site through Amanda and Beans. I love that you check out mommy blogs. I did the same thing while pregnant. I was a lurker and never left comments or even had a blog for that matter. It's what inspired me to start a blog. Anyways love the bean bling and glad to have found your blog!
I frequent LOTS of mommy blogs! I am with you on seeing and getting inspiration from other families!! Bloggy inspiration is really hard to explain to others if they don't "get" the whole blog thing but then I read posts like this and I think ....EXACTLY!!!
Oh and you won the book giveaway!! So shoot me an email with your address and I'll get it to ya!

I just found your blog...love, love, love the title!!!!
We are here to amuse you! But seriously, if you ever wanna babysit...
Thanks for coming over to Southern Somedays...I am a GA girl! LOL But spent many years in SC and my 2 oldest children were born there (Florence and Greenville, respectively). My Daddy's family runs deep in the Upstate and we (DH,DD & I) still think of it as home.
We moved back to GA about four years ago from NY (we have also living in Ohio) so I guess you could call us roaming southerners as well!
BTW, I do know Franklin County...when we lived in Clemson I had to take DD to Lavoinia for baton twirling classes (no kidding!) and a dear friend of mine's family hails from Canon/Royston.
