Melissa Haak, from USA, is a Hotter fan but she’s also the mastermind behind mummy blog Peanut Butter in My Hair! When Melissa recently reviewed a pair of our shoes and told us how much she loved them, we were intrigued to find out more about her blog and why she decided to start this community.. She writes about all the ‘sticky bits’ of motherhood at www.peanutbutterinmyhair.com and also tweets on Twitter @PBinmyHair. Here she tells us more…. When I had my first child in 2005 I was living in an urban area and working full time. I was the first of my friends to have kids so when I started staying home with my son I had no reference, no ideas about what to do and no one to ask questions or spend time with. I turned to blogs after reading an article about a local blog group run by mothers. I didn’t start writing my own until the end of 2008. That Fall we moved from the urban area, where I had developed my writing skills writing for a local parenting group newsletter, to the far out suburbs. Originally my blog started as more of a way to keep in touch with my urban friends. Since I started it has grown from just stories of life in the suburbs into a journal on the “Sticky side of motherhood”. I have met great friends, who I see regularly “in real life” and receive support as well as encouraging others through the struggles of miscarriage and PPD. I have also started a business because of my experiences online and at blogging conferences. I now am a freelance writer as well as an editor and curator of a local blog. What started as an online venture has become one that has enhanced my offline life. I have travelled across the country to meet friends and participate in blogging conferences. Conference attendance also has one other benefit, mom time! Time to focus on something I love (writing and connecting) and to re-energize so I can head back home to the daily grind of motherhood.
