As I've mentioned here before, I blog in secret... as in only very few of my "real life" friends know about it and definitely NOT my in-laws.
It's been awesome to have an outlet to vent frustrations (complain), talk smack (petty complaining), and generally have the freedom to express whatever I want (even more complaining). I guess it's no surprise that blogging about something is usually the only way I'm able to process it or, better still, get over it completely.
Guilty pleasure aside, secrets do have their burdens...
For instance, I realize this is the INTERNET and I'm only one Google search away from any number of awkward apologies and strained holiday reunions with my in-laws. In spite of that, there are times when I wish everyone I knew read my blog because I'm really bad about keeping in touch.
Really, REALLY bad.
With our move to London, I wanted to have a place where I could update the folks back home without having to clean up my act or change the focus on this blog (whatever THAT may be...)
Soooooo, I bring you my newest project...

... and yes, I fully plan to have my delicious cake and eat it too by trying to keep both blogs equal, but more importantly separate.Although I feel a bit like a fraud blogging as the "American Mom IN London" when I haven't actually lived in London yet, but it's not like I haven't tried... In the meantime, I've posted about my recent trip to London.
As you probably noticed, I created a widget for my sidebar linking to this new blog. (For those of you accessing this post on readers, you can click to it here)
P.S. Yes, it's a Wordpress hosted blog. I thought I'd give that a whirl, but I'm quickly finding that I'm not nearly as HTML savvy as I had imagined... nor am I entirely sure that I want to be.

I love WP. If you need pointers, email my hubby!
And, I've known other people who had two sites. Sometimes they used the same posts on both, sometimes different. Congrats. And, I hope to meet you before you head off to Blimey.
How dare you be brilliant on not one, but TWO sites. I myself am suffering from severe writer's block brought on by an abundance of amazing posts lately. I'm so glad you found a place, I hope you'll be showing us pictures soon! Cheerio, y'all.
Fun! I've toyed with this idea, myself, but haven't jumped in yet.
That is a great idea and I can't wait to hear about all of the adventures.
I have a similar blog about trying to escape from Utah. I'm hopeful we will get out of here very soon!
Well how cool it that! I was hoping you'd do something like this:)
