Here’s the Scoop on Smart Mom Ideas

Here’s me spilling the tea with this new blog!

Hey moms!

Are you a new mom or mom to be? Finding pregnancy tips or breastfeeding tips or organization as a mom can be a challenge. I have twins and OMG the first year was hard. I want to help other new moms with their newborns and children as they grow up.

It’s me Elna – the blogger behind Smart Mom Ideas.

But, I didn’t start this blog. Cathy, a blogger friend of mine, did. I helped her out with creating this blog and the content and while she loved managing this blog, she found it hard to keep up with it and monetizing it.

She wasn’t able to keep this blog thriving so she asked me to take it over.

I happily said yes even though I have other blogs I own!

Why Take Another Blog?

That is the question, eh?

I am a creative person. When I was in high school I had a journal full of poems and would write poems every day.

I always loved to write. It wasn’t until I had my twins that I decided to stay home. That’s when I started blogging and I haven’t looked back!

What Is Smart Mom Ideas About?

Cathy started Smart Mom Ideas as a way to share her experiences as a mom and trying to find smarter ways to do mom things.

For me, I see Smart Mom Ideas as a place to share the best information about challenges we all face – finances, taking care of our children, figuring out what to eat and balancing all this as a mom. I want to also share my experience with my pregnancy and help new moms and moms-to-be.

Smart Mom Ideas has a blogging section and there might be other mom bloggers that started their own lifestyle mom blog and are looking for guidance on growing their blog and income.

My Twins

I had a rough pregnancy with my twins. I was put on bedrest at 23 weeks because I had a short cervix. During this time I developed intra-uterine growth restriction.

This means that my twins were growing, but my belly wasn’t. It had reached maximum growth!

33 weeks pregnant with twins

I delivered my twins by C-section as my conditioned worsened. My son weighed 6 lbs. 5 oz. and my daughter weighed 4lbs 14oz.

The first year of having twins was one of the hardest years I’ve ever had, but I had a lot of support from my husband and extended family.

I hope to share what I learned from pregnancy tips to newborn tips to raising well-behaved toddlers and school-aged children.

I’ve lived it and am living it!
