Here it is. The beginning of the book. But while I graciously accept the compliment, "You should write a book!" I humbly argue that I can't do it by myself.
The goal: A collaboration of stories. I want to hear them. The messier the better. If you struggle with writing, let's chat. Give me a crack at it. Let's get it out there in all its glory.
*Subscribe, or visit the blog, to read an example I just put up.*
The idea: I was reminiscing with a friend a couple of years ago about day when my kids were 4 and 2 years old, we didn't have a fenced yard for the dogs, my husband was working swing shift, and we lived in a new town. I expressed that I felt, during those days, that I was just constantly bent over cleaning up something - mud, poop, spills - and my friend said, "Oh, but you miss the snuggles don't you?" Then it occurred to us: Snuggles and Poop! That's the name of the book!
The product: Maybe this will be a book, maybe not. Let's see what kind of material we can get together. This might be more effective as a blog. In any case, I challenge you to make us laugh, gross us out, melt our hearts, even roll our eyes ... and ultimately remind us that we are all imperfect in our crazy love for the lives we propel forward through Motherhood.
Input: Via private e-mail. Once it you like how it looks, we'll put your name on it and turn it in to a post on this blog for now. Anonymous is fine too! (Bottom line, I don't plan to take the credit for your stories.)
