Wow, where to begin. Do I even know what I'm doing? Maybe not, but I'm willing to give this a try and see if I can learn. 

Let me start by telling you why The Hip Nerd Mom. Well, I always use the word hip even though I know it's not "hip" to do so and I'm a bit of a hippie so there's that. I'm definitely a nerd, always have been. Love everything nerdy, especially con-life. And well I'm a mom and a proud one at that. In fact just yesterday I said to myself my greatest accomplishment in life is being mom, I'm great at it for the most part anyway. Not sure I'm good or even proud at times of other parts of my life, but being mom to my kiddos makes me happy and fulfills me. Even though it's not always easy to be mom and I'm sure you'll hear about ups and downs from me as this rolls along. 

So why try a blog hip nerd mom? Well I'm not exactly sure yet or if anyone will read this darn thing, I guess maybe I do it mostly for myself to vent or get things down. Like when the pandemic hit last year I began on March 13, 2020 journaling each day thinking it was going to be some big exciting possibly epic type struggle of being creative to fed the family and keep us safe. 410 days later it's really just a daily log of what me and my family did and ate each day with a sprinkle of what the happenings are in the world and state I live in. So just a boring record for me and/or my kiddos to reflect back on, but it was something to do to keep myself sane and busy I guess. 

Anyway I won't go on and on this first entry, just working on figuring out how to set up everything and I'm doing this without anyone I know being aware of this. Fear of failing, maybe? Sucks to have any fear since I have people who could really help me with this, but for now it's something I need to figure out on my own, a way to grow and a way to find some release. Let's see what this turns into along the way shall we? EEKS!
