The Last Post II

In June of 2017, after running Creating My Monster for a decade, I wrote my first “Last Post” to close that lengthy chapter of my life, the end of an era! At the time my daughter was 1.5 years old, and I felt that her story, and mine, needed a fresh start. And, so became I Am – Because You Are.

But, with that said, it is no longer up to me to share her story.

While lovingly referred to all this time as my LO (little one), she is no longer little. At 6 years old, she has very strong opinions, she already tells me what I can and cannot share with others (especially when it comes to her photo), and she has an absolute right to privacy. I protect her on all other social media platforms and, starting now, I will do the same here.

While the audience for IABYA is far less than CMM’s, mainly because it is no longer affiliated with any blogging communities and I rarely promote products or apply for partnerships anymore, it does reach wider than I am comfortable with. I have shared less and less about her here over the last year or so and, perhaps, my lack of attention foreshadowed the inevitable, but something about celebrating her birthday earlier this week made it feel as though the time was now.
 

With the start of school behind us, her birthday festivities complete, and the beginning of her new chapter ahead, it seems like a good place to close this one. 

 

So, yes, that’s a wrap on I Am – Because You Are.
