the book! it’s here! (well, almost)

So I’ve been trying to write this book for a while now. Been quietly researching parenting and motherhood trends. Looking at other mom bloggers to see who might want to contribute.

Now I’m ready to move full steam ahead.

“Well, what’s the book about?” you ask.

It’s an inspirational, girl-I’ve-been-there-too! guide to surviving and thriving in the first five years of young motherhood. I’ve always felt that young moms are invisible and nowhere is that more apparent than in the bookstore. A lot of aspects about motherhood are similar no matter when you have your kids, but having a baby in your teens or 20s is vastly different from having a baby in your 40s.

I started writing this book because I was tired of getting the weekly e-mails from you, saying that you could NEVER find anything on the web or otherwise that dealt with what you were going through. So I figured, let’s make it ourselves.

I’m calling on you all to make this happen. I need 100 young moms to contribute their ideas and stories. I’d settle for 75 (lol) but I want you all to have a chance to make your voice heard. Got a “Aww, man, I wish I had thought of this earlier!” story or a “Whatever you do, don’t do this!” memory? Let me know. E-mail me at dreambigbook@gmail.com so you can be included. I look forward to hearing your stories!

      @Meg – There is no word limit! :) Please send it to me! I’m trying to remember all the young moms I’ve met since starting this site and I want you ALL to give me your stories. Everyone has something to share. :) Thanks, Meg! You are awesome!
