When I decided to start this blog, one thought I kept having was how putting myself on the internet could be very scary since the internet can be a frightening place. So when I decided to start a mom-blog I had to take into account my daughter and her privacy. She’s only 6 months old and I don’t feel comfortable publicly putting her picture on the web. I never really thought about this before since I have a private account on instagram and only have followers who are family and friends. Having a public instagram account has made me rethink everything I post. Now, when I plan a post with…
