Just to give you all a nice “table of contents” of how many different topics I love to learn about! I always thought people who started a specific blog (such as a parenting blog) had to know enough information before they can share it. But turns out I don’t have to be an expert to enjoy certain topics and learn about them and share what I can! As long as readers don’t actually consider me an expert just because it’s typed up and on the internet. 🙂
