What inspired you to start blogging?

I'm a professional writer so blogging presented a natural opportunity to spew about the things I want, instead of what I write to earn some cake.

What are three distinctive features of your blog?

1. In some ways, it's the antithesis of the typical mom blog - kind of like a parents' night out with much discourse about sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. I cover parenting issues but also topics I used to talk about before I had kids, because I'm still that person.
2. I'll say what you're really thinking about the pop-culture obsession du jour.
3. Men and people without children are welcome.

What inspired you to start blogging?

Sh*tMyKidsRuined.com was born in March 2010, the day after my 2 year-old son spilled a quart of black paint on our dining room rug. At first I was upset, but when I started to think about all of the items and aspects of my life/body my two boys had 'ruined' over just a few short years, I began to see great humor in it all. Blogging about this helps me appreciate the more frustrating aspects of parenthood and it keeps me mindful that laughter is dang therapeutic!

1. SMKR's Mission: Commiseration, Comic Relief & Birth Control!

3. Helpful tips to prevent or handle all sorts of kid-destruction are welcome, but parenting critiques are not allowed.

What inspired you to start blogging?

Funny thing. Although I am still a somewhat new blogger, having started in Sept, my blogging style completely changed around the beginning of the year. I wasn't really inspired, but rather pushed into blogging by a chatty group of on-line friends at Squidoo as a promotion tool. Sadly the adjectives to describe my blog at that point would be boring, uninteresting and shameless self promotion. So, those posts are gone. Poof. They simply don't exist in cyber space any longer.

Now my inspiration comes from you. Well, not specifically You, but readers. People actually think I am funny, and I love that. I was funny as a child. I was funny as a teen, I was even funny until I hit my early 40s. Then I moved half way around the world, to a country with a different style of humor. One where they don't do sarcasm. I do sarcasm. I grew up with it, and it just flows out sometimes. Now, I get told off. Blogging is different, I can be me. My friends who don't do sarcasm don't follow, that's ok. My new friends with my twisted sense of humor do. Thank you.
