So I’d initially intended to start this blog when my daughter was still a baby, but she’s now three and it’s obvious that parenthood got in the way of doing that, and so many other things. I think that might be a good starting point for what this is all about: real thoughts on parenting from a real person. I have absolutely no goal here – this is my hobby, I have no goals other than to try to teach myself a little website stuff and play with a few technologies I’ve wanted to learn while putting some writing out there for the world to read to get a bit more practice. If you read it, great! I hope it’s useful. If you hate it, there’s a lot of internet out there so I’d kindly invite you to head out into that great big wild and not worry so much about what some random stranger thinks.

So, onto the observations…
