To briefly introduce myself, I am a nursing student who works in a hospital near my hometown and I live with my parents, 3 cats, and 2 tortoises.
For my first blog assignment, I am supposed to find an award-winning blog site that strikes my fancy and develop an opinion on it. Out of the many blogs I scrolled through, one in particular caught my attention.
Being a mother is not something I can strongly identify with, so it might seem strange that I chose to explore a blog called “Motherhood is Not for Wimps.” However, as you read the entries on this site it is easy to laugh right along with the author. It is evident that the author, also called “Da Momma,” can easily find humor in all situations. My favorite entry detailed a long trip to a family wedding in the rugged family van. As the author detailed that she had to cusp her hands under her daughter’s mouth to catch her vomit, I could only laugh. Instead of grossing you out or scaring you away from motherhood, “Da Momma” simply wants people to enjoy the humor that comes along with parenting.
Another enjoyable aspect of this blog are the characters that enter each story, including a highly excitable toddler named “Roodle,” her calm and collected older sister “Mare,” and a non-chalant husband better known as “Cute Husband.” Of course, the main character who holds everyone together is “Da Momma.”

Although it might seem that a blog about parenting would be intended for parents, I feel that anyone who reads the blurbs on this site could appreciate its value. I love that a site about parenting chooses to point out the humor, companionship, and joy that children can bring instead of offering the latest tips on being a good parent. After all, no one is the ultimate authority on parenthood. We all just have to dive into it and make the best of it, much like “Da Momma” has.

I really like how you incorperated your sister and neices picture in with your blog, it is so cute!
The way you described "Da Momma"s blog really made me want to go check it out. She makes parentng seem like a rollercoaster ride with a ton of laughs and struggles along the way. It will make me see what I'm enstore for in the coming years.
