I'm blogging from my new IPhone 4S

So I decided that it was time for me to upgrade my iPhone 3GS. Besides the fact that the screen was smashed, I loved everything about it and was in no rush to be like everyone else and be the first person to have the brand new addition to the apple world.

But regardless of my love for that phone, and the memories I have of it with me and the kids, little glass chips in my thumb was not sitting well with me.

So off to the Bell store to get my new upgrade and commit to another three years of money out the door.

I brought my new baby home and instantly hit the laptop to sync all my contacts, music and apps.
So as I am adding some new ones from this amazing device with so many new features I never imagined, I come across a familiar name.....BLOGGER

OMG, is that what I think it is?
So I open it up and all the while thinking its just an app that allows me to read my favorite blogs, but still be able to do it without having to google it all the time.
Well was I ever mistaken....son of a beehive I can actually blog from my phone and post it!!!

Ha, I love that. I can be in the doctors office, or waiting in the car or like right now as I'm putting my 21month old to sleep and BLOG!
How convenient is that?

Can you think of all the possibilities, all the opportunities to just pick up your phone and start your next blog about something that's happening right in front of you. The convenience to not have to wait till you get home and post your thoughts.

I am very happy I upgraded my apple and look forward to all the many more posts I will be making from everywhere and anywhere!!

So today's blog is brought to you by the new BLOGGER APP from apple IPhone 4S, a must for any blogger!

About a week ago I was on twitter as I normally live on and saw some posts that my good friend @Optimom was discussing about your children and anxiety with the hash tag #ourkids. At first I just followed, but after 10 minutes I jumped in and asked this question first as a joke, but then realizing I really wanted to know the answer “Is there a difference between a mama’s boy and anxiety?” Well what happened after that started a slew tweets and comments, tears and emails.

Let me tell you a little about my son Joseph (aka Jojo). He can walk into a room and everyone will have some kind of complement on his appearance or his personality. He is FULL of life and energy, and will melt your heart. He is now 6 years old and I come to realize that my little boy isn’t a mama’s boy at all but may be gifted. From when he was three he started collecting things and putting them in safe places for no one to touch, things like books, backugans, pens, sticky notes and anything small and collectible. He would have the biggest tantrum if anyone touched or moved even one thing. Currently he won’t sleep at anyone’s house, he won’t sleep in his sheets for fear of messing them up, and he cannot mix his foods during dinner and changes his clothes 3-4 times a day. With all of these little quirks and many more I always had this mother’s intuition that something was not right with him. OCD and ADHD always cross my mind, and I have taken him to the doctor to see, and discussed my concerns with family and my husband, but I always get, “ Oh, he’s just a typical boy” or “ He’ll outgrow this” or “look and you and your husband”. So until this twitter chat I’ve always had that gut feeling but never acted on it due to fear of my own.

So back to twitter, as another friend of mine that was in that twitter conversation, @ChickyMara started telling me about her children and their issues, other moms were telling me to go with my instincts and follow up. As all these tweets were streaming in I felt so overwhelmed that I started to cry, and not just tears, but a hard cry. It was as if I was losing my son to this new thing I had no clue about, but it was a relief cry that I knew I was right all along. It was all making sense, but more than anything I felt such support from Laurel (Optimom), Mara (ChickyMara) and other amazing moms it was something I never had before because no one understood what I was feeling.

Well here we are,  my first Blog Post. Ill warn you now, I'm not an English major, I treat spellcheck as if its my best friend. I thought I would start writing about being a mom and running a business and all my opinions in between. The good, the bad and the ugly. I am honest and very naive, so the things that might come out of my mouth are just my opinions and thoughts and I value any input and/comments that I could improve on.

Well where do I start?
What do I write?
What do people want to read?

I DON'T CARE...I decided I would start out by writing what I'm feeling and what I want to discuss with other wonderful people.

Maybe it will be about my kids, maybe it will be about my business ...(by the way its Vaughan Mompreneurs), maybe about social media or maybe ill just write about some proper twitter etiquette . What ever it is I look forward to letting loose and opening up.

Until next time....
