Three months into our new morning show, we are up and running.(!)

After years of talking about it-- the Fox 61 morning news is finally a reality. We've been on three months now, and the weeks have flown.

Truly.

My son just celebrated his first birthday (gasp!) which of course, has me a little teary eyed-- scratching my head wondering where the time has gone.

The past year has changed my view of the world entirely. Motherhood brings a sort of perspective that you cannot prepare for. When everyone told me, "everything changes," I didn't really know what that meant. Now, I do.

You look at things differently-- you appreciate the little moments and big moments alike. The huge giggles when you tickle his belly-- the quiet (and increasingly rare) sleepy moments when he's about to fall asleep. I think my son has a lot to do with what I love about morning news programs, and why I wanted to be a part of the Fox 61 Morning News. I wanted to help create a show that I would watch-- a show I find relevant and fun. It's a working schedule that lets me be home with him in the afternoon, but at the same time, I can keep working. Which-- in today's economy, we all know is a reality for most families. In fact, most of our viewers are a lot like me-- we're working moms who feel like there's never enough time. We're always running from place to place, from errand to errand-- pretty worn out, hoping to cross things off the "to do" list before it gets too long.

And that happens in an instant!

So-- I'm hoping to make this blog more than an entry on my "to do" list, and something to which I can look forward each and every week.

Anyway-- welcome to my new blog, I hope you'll be a part of it.
