Letters for Lucas

Name of Blog: Letters for Lucas

Name of Blogger: Tonya

Blogging since: August 2009

Number of followers today: 41

Average number of ppm (posts per month): 23 per month

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.
