Hey moms!
It’s me Elna – the blogger behind Smart Mom Ideas.
But, I didn’t start this blog. Cathy, a blogger friend of mine, did. I helped her out with creating this blog and the content and while she loved managing this blog, she found it hard to keep up with it and monetizing it.

When I was little, my mom would tell me I never listened.

I don’t know about you, but ever since I became a mom to my spunky-spirited toddler, I lost all energy to be fun. I’m the watcher that makes sure my son doesn’t get hurt. I’m the patient one when my son wants to try to put on his shoes by himself.
I’m the angry one when I’ve had it up to here, and my son just is too needy, and I need a break.
Yup, I’m every other mom except the fun mom.

I grew up in a household where both my parents worked out of the home. This is all I knew, but as a child, I didn’t like it. My mom would come home and had to hurry to get dinner on the table and there was no time for her to check my homework or even play with me.
It’s sad when I think about it. I love my mom and I know both my parents had to work to support me and my sister. So, when I was pregnant, I figured I had to go back to work when my maternity ended. It’s just what you do.
