Over 5 years ago, I created a blog (My Honu Blog) for the sole purpose of capturing my pregnancy and documenting my life as a mom. Through the course of the last 5 years, I learned a lot of things about myself – my life as a wife, a mom and a woman. My world changed. Motherhood taught me a lot about myself and taught me to see the world through the eyes of my children.
A Mommentary Life
As the years passed and our family grew, My Honu Blog evolved into A Mommentary Life. Much like I’ve evolved over the last few years, so has the blog. It’s not about just my kids anymore. It moved well beyond my growing waistline or the nursery decor. I was still living my life but I was starting to see it differently. My motivations were changing. I was inspired not only by my successes, but my kids’ as well.
What is it about?

Because of it’s new direction, I thought it was also a time for a new look. Thanks to the wonderful talent of D. Cramer Design, A Mommentary Life has a pretty new look. I chose the color orange because of it’s warmth. I’d read somewhere that it is a social color. Plus, it’s my favorite color. I liked the palm leaf because it reminds me of a relaxing vacation and it reminds me of unity. As moms and women, unity and support are important. I also want this place to be a happy place. That’s what I always want A Mommentary Life to be – a place of support and friendship.
