Today, I wanted to take a little time to let you know what you can expect from Mommy’s Idea Book for a while. First of all, let me say a big thank you to all my readers and commenters. You don’t know how much I appreciate your support.

I’ve really enjoyed blogging and making new friends in the blogging community. However, I’m in desperate need of a few modifications.

Why are these changes necessary?

When I began Mommy’s Idea Book, I had no idea how time consuming blogging would actually be or the effects it would have on my home life. Recently, I have begun to feel like my family and my home are suffering because of the amount of time I’m investing in this little blog.

In addition, some important new family commitments have begun to take up a lot of my time. It’s not bad stuff, actually good, but it is taking up quite a bit of my time. Not to mention, this is the last summer I’ll have with my son before he starts kindergarten and I want to be able to make the most of it.

What can you expect?

When I originally began Mommy’s Idea Book, I was posting something everyday. Well, I’ve come to the realization I can’t write that often and continue to provide consistently good quality articles and spend adequate time with the ones in my life that matter most.

As a result, I will be backing off a little, at least for a while, with probably an average of two to three posts per week rather than five to six. There will also not be scheduled days dedicated to specific topics.

For example: I will no longer be featuring a “Book of the Week.” Instead, if there is a book I wish to review or let you know about, I may choose to do that on any day of the week.

How will this help me?

By making these changes, I will not feel tied down to a specific posting schedule and if I don’t post a day or two, I won’t feel like I have completely let you and myself down. I don’t want to give up Mommy’s Idea Book, just scale it back a little.

As always, Mommy’s Idea Book is still here for you and will be continuing to provide tips, encouragement and ideas.

In order to keep up with my posts, you may want to consider subscribing to my RSS feed or entering your email address on the right hand side of this page to have my latest posts delivered right to your inbox. This way you’ll save time in determining whether I’ve posted a new article each day.

Bear has a sign on his front door that states, “No Visitors Allowed.” He is certain he doesn’t want any visitors. Then, one morning a little grey mouse knocks on Bear’s front door.

Bear explains to the mouse that he is not interested in visitors and tells him to leave. However, the mouse is not so easily put off. No matter what Bear tries to do to keep the mouse out of his house, his efforts fail over and over.

Finally Bear gives up and lets the mouse come inside. After all his efforts to keep visitors away, Bear realizes that life is much better with a friend than being all alone.

We all need friends in our lives, even though sometimes we may not feel like we want them around. It’s also very important for kids to learn that friends can be found in, what might appear as, the most unlikely of people.

What would you think the chances are of a bear and a mouse becoming friends? Not very likely, I would say.

Tiny Tidbits: A Visitor for Bear, has also been recommended by National BookPALS for reading at children’s hospitals and cultural institutions. (Resource: Bonny Becker Website)
