It is with much sadness that I tell you, that this is my last blog for ‘My Maryland Family.’
After 21 years with Patuxent Publishing (now Baltimore Sun Media Group), 10 of those years as editor of Maryland Family magazine, and three years blogging for ‘My Maryland Family,’ I am leaving for different horizons.
Before I started this blog, I didn’t even know what a blog was. But when we created this website and my boss suggested we start blogging, I dove right in, and I have loved every minute of it. I have enjoyed sharing the antics in my house, the struggles I’ve encountered as a parent and the rays of light that come from having kids. This blog has forced me to focus on my No. 1 vocation — that of mom to a brood of four — and to chronicle our lives in a way that I never would have considered doing otherwise.
I hope you have enjoyed getting to know my family and our quirks. The blog hasn’t been great literature or even deeply profound — but it’s always come from my heart. Your occasional comments or words in passing have kept me going. And just knowing that I have readers out there, no matter how few, has kept me thinking about my crazy life and what might be worth sharing.
I am sad to go and sad to leave this blog behind. It was not an easy decision, but I know in my heart it is time. Maybe, one day, I’ll start a blog of my own. I’ll let you now if I do.
You will be missed Betsy!
Thanks for all the interesting reading you have posted! I enjoyed that you published my list of new mom “must-haves” awhile ago. We’re still using several products off that list now, and my son will be two next month. I hope I will still find insight in the archived posts when Jake gets a little older.
we will miss you. wishing you all the best!
Thanks for all the fun times! Good luck on your next adventure!
Good luck! You have done a great job!
Best of luck Betsy. Your blog has given me many good laughs. I’ll miss it1
Best of luck to you Betsy!!! I’ve enjoyed reading your blog and getting to know you and your family!!!
