With the momcafé summer writing contest underway, I’ve been thinking back to the days of when I used to write for fun – postcards while on vacation, notes to friends in school yearbooks and of course, emotional entries in my diary when I was a teenager. While I don’t consider myself an author, I have spent my professional career writing a variety of communications – emails, media releases, biographies, newsletters, speeches, etc. Then, when my son was born, I wrote thank-you cards for gifts, baby announcements and of course, the memorable baby journal.
