Growing Stephanie's Mommy Brain

Three and a half years ago I began a new adventure - blogging.  After reading other people's blogs for over a year I thought blogging would be fun.  So I started Stephanie's Mommy Brain as a place to share photos and stories with our extended family and friends.

Along the way I fell in love with everything about blogging.  Writing posts.  Editing html code in my template.  Interacting with readers.  Meeting other bloggers.  Networking with PR companies.

I also discovered that blogging is much more than a journal of life for my family.  It's a creative outlet for me.  And it's a way for me to help other moms.  At least I hope what I write helps you, encourages you, and inspires you!

In an effort to learn more about blogging and grow Stephanie's Mommy Brain, I have applied to the Mom Central Blogging Grant Program.  If I win this $2,000 grant I will use the money to attend She Speaks and begin a second blog - one that focuses on "making the most of family time."

To win a Mom Central Blogging Grant I need your help.  

I need you to go to http://bit.ly/helpgrowstephmommybrain every day until April 15 and vote for me!  The top 15 applicants in 3 categories will advance to a second round where the Mom Central staff will choose the winners so I need as many votes as possible.

Here are a few ways you can help spread the word about my application?

• Share with your Facebook friends why you like reading Stephanie's Mommy Brain and include the http://bit.ly/helpgrowstephmommybrain link.
