I started blogging in April of this year. My daughter was about 8 months old. I felt lost. I didn’t know my place. I couldn’t hang out with friends at night like I used to. I couldn’t even talk on the phone for more than a few minutes. I turned to blogging because I needed a way of expressing myself and what I found was a community. Without even knowing what I was looking for I found it. I found you and it has been my pleasure getting to know you.
Every time I come across a wonderfully written new to me blog, I get excited and I want to share that excitement with others. I belong to a bunch of blogging communities that help me find bloggers, but still I long for something else. I want something content driven that showcases bloggers without having to dig through the site. I can’t find exactly what I’m looking for, but I did find Nancy from if evolution really works and it turns out that she has been looking for the same thing.
Since we couldn’t find it, we decided to create it. Today we are very proud to announce the birth of our baby!
Life 2 Us is a website where you can submit posts, find new blogs, new readers, speak your mind, and interact. We hope you will join and help us grow this community! Please stop by and give us your input…it takes a village.

good going, UM! I just gave it a quick look, but will check it out in detail soon. It looks so well done! Perhaps a mother to teenagers section? Just a thought.

oh, congrats – this is very exciting indeed!
well, that just looks like tons of fun. I'm there!
Awesome idea. This is the exact reason I started blogging to. I needed to remind myself that I used to be good at writing. I used to do something besides wipe butts.
What a fantastic concept! Love it!
Unfortunately–or fortunately–it's been 36 years since I've been a new Mom, so I'm passing. Bu I wish you well in your venture!
Congrats on starting your new blogging community. I bet it'll grow leaps and bounds in a very short time.
Very exciting! Glad to be doing this with YOU!
Just found it! And love it! So hey, how do you become a featured blog?
Good for you two, creating your own community!

Visit me at: Unknown Mami.
The featured blogs that we have now submitted content for our launch and we are going to feature them for the whole month. We haven't worked out the details yet for future featured blogs but we'll do a post as soon as we do.
But if you submit a post now and we dig it we will have it be a featured post.

Yay for you! I'm so glad it launched, although I didn't realize it was so soon. I know I owe you an answer on your email (it's yes btw) but ummm it's been hectic still. I'll come visit soon, although not tonight, as I need to get to bed!
No worries.
Okay, as per your request we added a “Mom of Teens” category. Will you be posting?
You are amazing! Way to inspire, Mami!!
UM, your new project is a beautiful, new bouncing baby blog! I'm very excited to see this community grow and am so happy for you. Maybe I'll submit a post or two when I have time to write more than a few sentences. Speaking of which, I'd love to see Life 2 Us have a section for moms of multiples. Let me know if you ever want my help. Congratulations!!
I'd love to have you submit something for a mom of multiples section. Whenever you have time, maybe in 18 years and you can write something I'd love to have it.
It looks fantastic UM, I've registered and am looking forward to exploring
I'll check out the format and everything and will try to post something this weekend!
Congratulations!! I'm in!

Congrats! Sounds exciting!
It's interesting how life changes. First you don't sleep..EVER. Then all of a sudden you can't wait until no more diapers…then they go to kindergarten and you wonder where those 5 years went. My friends have changed over the years and some of it is related to my kids changing.
Good for you!
wow I starting blogging last November and I felt the same way, my daughter was about 11 months old
