This blog has taken me on quite a journey.
I started it in February 2008, for no real reason other than I have discovered blogs and wanted to have one too. I named my blog ‘MomGrind’ because I wanted to help moms deal with the daily grind of motherhood.
But I quickly realized that giving advice bores me. I’d rather ask questions than answer them. I’d much rather think with you and laugh with you, than create useful lists of sound advice. It’s not that sound advice is not needed: it’s just that I don’t have the answers, yet.
This blog, that I started as a pure hobby, also made me realize that I want to become a professional blogger, and that I have the skills and experience to make it happen.
The many skills I’ve acquired through blogging here, including effectively writing for the web, Search Engine Optimization, and using social media to build one’s brand and to drive traffic to one’s website, have enabled me to start my own freelance blogging business. You can read more about it on my Blogger For Hire page.
What else would you like to know? My name is Vered DeLeeuw. Vered (’Ve’ as in ‘Very’, ‘Red’ as in ‘Red’, emphasis on the first syllable) means ‘Rose’ in Hebrew. DeLeeuw (unless you’re Dutch it’s impossible to pronounce so just go ahead and say De-Loo) means ‘The Lion’ in Dutch. I am married, have two kids, and live in California’s Silicon Valley.
Hope you like hanging out here.
