I was going to write about IJ today and how has reached the point where she is happy, healthy and proud of herself.
I was going to write about The Worry Book we discovered that helps children cope with anxiety through a range of really helpful exercises and some beautifully written text.
I was going to say what a relief it is to be starting the Easter holidays on a positive, upbeat note and how wonderful it is that she has passed through her difficult stage.
I was going to expand on all of the above.
But I've decided not to.
I wrote a post about the term 'Mummy bloggers'. I wrote it to highlight what a wonderful and talented bunch we all are; that we are mummies and so much more. And I wrote it because it is a term whose meaning I had been thinking about recently. I wanted to share my thoughts. That's all.
I wish I hadn't.
The post has created a wider debate about the term 'mummy bloggers' that seems to have resulted in anger and upset. It was never my intention to write a post that would spark debate and create friction within the mummy blogging community. It was supposed to be an empowering post not a divisive one.
So I'm taking a break from it all.
For the time being at least, I don't want to do this anymore.
