Accepting the Blogger Recognition Award


I am excited and truly honored to be receiving my first nomination for a blogging award. I want to give a huge “Thank You!” to Romina with her blog Mini Mummi Blogger for nominating my blog for the “Bloggers Recognition Award.”

What is the Blogger Recognition Award?

The Blogger Recognition Award is given to bloggers by bloggers to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication put into their blog. This is an amazing award to be presented with, because from my experience starting a new blog is, “No walk in the park.”
It requires tons of energy, time, patience and a wide variety of skills–some of which you might have to learn. So, receiving this award is a great honor and each blogger who receives it should be proud of what they have accomplished, but should also remember this isn’t the finish line, just a milestone. There is always more growth and knowledge to obtain. Take this award wear it with pride and keep building your blog.

What is Mini Mummi Blogger and who is Romina?

Romina is a first-time mommy to a beautiful little boy (he really is beautiful; he's got cheeks that are perfect for aunties and grandmas to pinch). As a new mom, she found it difficult to apply conflicting parenting advice from books, friends, family, strangers, midwives, and other baby experts. So she soon realized- she would have to be the one to decide what was best for her and her baby.
She is currently on maternity leave and is looking to put her writing/publishing experience to good use. She firmly believes that every mom knows what’s best for her own baby, and hopes that she can help other moms to navigate through the wealth of often conflicting information out there about pregnancy and motherhood. She created her blog, Mini Mummi Blogger, in the hopes of helping new and not-so-new moms become confident in their mothering abilities, and know that it’s okay to ask for help or decide which advice is suitable for her and her baby.

My Blog’s Story

I'm E. L. Lane, and I'm a first-time mom to a vibrant and tenacious three-year-old girl whom I affectionately refer to as Leia (because she's my little princess). I have a master's degree in Clinical Psychology, which was difficult to get, but, honestly, I find being a mother and blogger at the same time to be one of the most challenging undertakings in my life.
I've always had a passion for writing and decided to try out blogging after becoming a full-time stay-at-home mom. I hadn't written for years before starting to blog, and I need to write like I need oxygen to breathe.
I don't have a specific direction/niche for my blog at the moment, but I've written about: blogging; vlogging; and places, experiences, and restaurants I've enjoyed. 
I strive to post consistently and provide helpful content for you, my beloved readers, to enjoy.  
I can't say that I know exactly what I'll be writing about in the future, but I am growing and learning new things every day, and absolutely loving every minute of my blogging journey. Thank you so much for coming along with me on this wild ride.  
My favorite part about blogging is hearing from my readers, and I'm constantly looking for personal ways to connect with you.

So when I found “Vlog Like a Boss,” I was excited to learn how a professional YouTuber makes her videos, so that I can try and do the same. You can read about how I found the class here.

Mom Confessions: Things You Said You'd Never Do as a Parent, But You Did

Image
Do you remember a time before you became a mom? A time when you’d see moms giving their children a tablet to watch cartoons while having lunch? Or changing their babies’ diapers right in the booth where they were eating? And you thought, “I will never do that when I have a kid.” But then, you find yourself with a shrieking human being in your arms that depends on you for everything, and you find yourself slowly letting go of all those expectations and doing all of those same things you said you’d never do. Well, it turns out that you’re not alone. I asked other moms this question: What is something you said you’d never do as a parent, but ended up doing? I started off the #momconfessions, “I said I’d never put a leash on my child. I bought one when she turned two.” Below are the #momconfessions that some honest, kickass Instagram moms shared: Le t Me Count the Ways “Gosh. Haha... What a great question! Where do I start? Bed sharing, breastfeeding past one year,

What To Do About a Picky Eater?

Image
My husband walks out of the kitchen in a huff, “I’m done,” he says running his fingers through his hair, “I don’t know what else to do. You try.” We cannot get our four-year-old daughter, Leia, to eat. We’ve tried not giving her any snacks so she’s hungry for mealtime and negotiating bribes of desserts/outings/toys/gold/diamonds at the end of a meal. These tactics seem to work at first, but after the novelty wears off, she flexes her stubborn-muscle and squarely refuses to eat. She then uses that muscle to play a game of tug of war with us where she drags our asses through a mud pit and leaves us with bruised cheeks, low morale, and a fair amount of post-traumatic stress. Leia’s entire diet consists of: 1. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. 2. Tyson’s Dinosaur Chicken Nuggets or McNuggets (and heaven forbid you try to feed her any other kind of chicken nugget or chicken in any other form!). 3. Pizza Hut, Little Caesar’s, Papa John’s, or certain local pizzeria piz
