Consider this round two, but who’s counting? In terms of me and my relationship with the blogging world, I’ll share with you a little back story. I was one of the “OG” bloggers who started back in the day when dot blogspot was actually a thing, typing away on a platform I never thought anyone would read with two little ones under two and ever searching for an outlet for my creative juices and love of writing. My blog, Mommy Entourage, evolved into a passion project and also a huge part of my life. It provided a lot of amazing and unique opportunities to share the fun side of motherhood, while exploring food, fashion and family travel, and so much more. I also met, and became friends, with so many amazing people in the blogging and PR world.
Then in 2020, the world changed, and blogging about new and exciting things was basically impossible as the world as we knew it shut down in so many ways. As a single mom, I had an overflowing plate of responsibilities while also trying to educate my kids with schools closed. I paid my hosting bill, thinking all the posts I had poured my heart and soul into would be kept safe. Little did I know that your hosting, or what is your “rent” for holding your blog is of primary importance, and without knowing, I lost it all. Losing all my content and posts written over the years was like a bad breakup, and I’m no stranger to how that feels. The positive spin on a bad scenario is that it all means you have no choice but to start anew, with a new set of eyes and a fresh manicure. So let’s do this. I welcome you back to reading my blog if you were here for my original journey, and say hello if you are new to reading my writing! Life is and will always be about embracing new beginnings, and enjoying the ride as much as you can along the way.
The new Mommy Entourage blog is more personal, a little less inhibited, and as always, a place for positivity while I check out the latest in food, fitness, fashion and family travel. The blog will also chat book reviews and local events and attractions, because there is always something new! I can’t wait to share what is in store with you.
xoxo,
Jeanine @MommyEntourage
