Happy Birthday, Mombian!

A year ago today, I wrote my first post for Mombian. I’m pleased that the vision I had for the site back then seems to have been a worthy one. My goal was to create a blog of useful news and resources for lesbian moms—as lesbians and as moms. I drew on my own experience as the lesbian mother of a toddler, but wanted the site to be less about my family per se, and more about broad issues and topics of interest. Readership has grown steadily, and feedback seems generally positive, which indicates I’m doing something right.

I’m happy, too, that Mombian has caught the attention of some non-lesbian-specific parenting sites. Moxie, a very useful parenting site itself, just called it a “daily must-read” <blush>. I hope Mombian can continue to help us make connections beyond our community even as it offers resources and support for those of us within it.

Thanks to all of you who have read Mombian, left comments, or participated in Blogging for LGBT Families Day. I’m hoping I can keep offering items of interest over the next year, and that you’ll come back to visit often. As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions.
