What the Blog is about: Tonya is a thirty-something first time mom. Her son Lucas will be celebrating his first birthday in June! The blog starts with Tonya writing a series of letters directly to her son. But as Tonya continues to write, the blog expands into not only a way to record Lucas' growth and development, but as a way for her to record her own growth as both a mommy and woman. Tonya captures the change from being a childless, married woman that has a busy and active social life to becoming a mom, without losing her sense of self. The transition is beautifully written, and worth the read. Her writing is poignant, sassy, sweet, and very honest.

Blog Tip #204 - Number of Posts vs. Number of Comments
Posting more than once a day doesn't get more people to read your blog, nor does it get you more comments.
You might think you would get more comments if you write more posts. In reality most bloggers and blog-readers don't stay online all day. They come and go in starts and spurts. Once a day or every other day for posts you really want people to read is all you need.
Unless you write reviews of blogs.
Then it can be every day... and twice on Fridays.
But it still won't get us more comments.
