Calling All Moms: Share Your Parenting Stories on Patch

Moms, you have one of the most difficult and rewarding jobs out there. Why not share your triumphs and frustrations with others, on Patch?

Blogging is a great way to share the ups and downs of raising kids (from changing that first diaper to dropping them off at college) with thousands of Patch readers in Northern Virginia and DC. You can post as often as you'd like, even if you have to squeeze posts in between shuttling your kids from school to soccer practice to violin lessons.

If you're stumped on what to write about, you can always tell readers what it's like being a working mom. What it's like trying to make dinner (that everyone will eat). How you found the perfect preschool. What it was like when your daughter took her first step. 

You can also share photos of your son's T-ball games or swim practice or your daughter's concert. (It's OK to brag about your kids, promise.)
