Introduce Your Blog July Blog Hop

A Mom Is A Job is proud to be a part of the first MckLinky Introduce Your Blog blog hop!

When someone asks me what I do for a living or if I work, I always answer yes.  When they ask me what I do I tell them I’m a Mom.  I may not bring home a paycheck every week for my kind of work but I can assure you that being a Mom is in fact, a job. My children are my employer and taking care of them in addition to everything else I do IS my job.

I am a thirty-something stay-at-home mother of two boys ages 6 and 3 and they are polar opposites. My 6 year old has the personality of Alex P. Keaton (you remember- Michael J. Fox’s character on the classic ’80’s sitcom Family Ties). Then there’s my 3 year old whom I should have named Dennis -as in the Menace.  Ahh yes. It’s never a dull moment in my house!  Alex and Dennis consistently keep me on my toes but hey…if nothing else, at least while they’re testing my patience and sanity, they are giving me tons of material to post about.

A Mom Is A Job has rants, raves, and reviews of all things Mom.  Take a look around, then check out the other blogs who are sharing the link love with the first Introduce Your Blog MckLinky Blog Hop.

    Yes, a mom is most definitely a job. I like that you answer yes when someone asks what you do for a living. Being a mom is tough work but definitely worth it right?

    Blog hopping, nice to meet you! I’d quantify that you don’t receive a monetary paycheck. I’m certain you receive a paycheck much more valuable that money for your work! I know I do! Love the Alex P Keaton reference, does he wear ties all the time too? LOL!

    I adore this whole blog hopping meme! It’s so nice to meet you and all the wonderful participants. What a journey of encouragement!

    I have four boys, one of which is named Alex. I refer to myself as CEO of The Department of Domestic Engineering, Midwest Region. lol How’s that for a title?

    I’d like to invite everyone here to Blog it Forward. Share your inspirational journeys and award those who inspire you with the ‘Inspirational Blog Award.’

    All the blogs I have hopped to so far have touched my heart in so many, many ways. I would like to spread the encouragement to the rest of the blogging realm.
