I started this blog on a whim, mostly because I'm frustrated by how long it's taking me to set up my primary web site and blog at ecotackle.com. As such, I didn't give a whole lot of thought initially to the title of my blog or to its characters. That's the beauty of free blogs like Vox: you can dive right in quickly and easily. (Compared to my "professional" blog, it's a welcome relief!)
Since I'm having such fun writing this that I've decided to keep it going as my personal blog, I've made a couple of changes that will stick. Not wanting to be stuck with "ToddlerMama" for the rest of my blogging life, I've changed the title of the blog to "RoxAndRoll" -- which will last a lot longer than toddlerhood. Sadly.
Secondly, the Guv and I had a long discussion about kids' names and pics on the blog. We're the skittish type and, as such, have decided to post only far-view or otherwise obscured pics of the kids. To some, this decision might be strange; but you should know that one of our favorite high school teachers went to jail for pedophilia the year we were married, and we haven't quite gotten over that. As well, I decided to stick with Petunia and Dash for the kids' names. I was calling Dash either Mac or Trouble; the former doesn't fit, and Trouble was tongue-in-cheek but perhaps not quite appropriate anyway. He'd prefer to be called Tow Truck, but I'm thinking he'll outgrow that. I hope.
So... please pardon my own growing pains. This is lots of fun, and I hope you'll keep reading and commenting on roxandroll.vox.com.
