Things you need to know about me and my blog –

• Hi! I’m Emma!  Nice to meet you!  Make yourself at home!
• I can be found on twitter as @ewiller here.
• I had this blog before I had kids (I know! Weird!!).  Anyway, that means I don’t have MOMMY/MUMMY in my blog title or in my twitter name.  And I don’t really call myself a mommyblogger.  This is my little journal.  I’m here, I’ve been blogging since 2004 and online in other forms before that, because I like to write.  I need an outlet for myself, and right now, this is my place.
• I do, however, have kids and I am a mother. So I will inevitably end up talking about those shit disturbers angelic 2 little boys I have (Oliver, born December 2005; Callum, born November 2007).
• I don’t talk much about my own immediate family (unless it’s unicorns and light, as they are reading this) or my job (because I do love my work so much, no REALLY, and I don’t want to lose it ever).  I’m pretty censored on here.  If you meet me in person, I’ll tell you all my deep dark secrets.  Let’s have a drink and share our skeletons, okay?
• I started blogging in 2004, inspired by friends with their own blogs, and as a way to update friends and family on life as I had moved to London, England from my home in Canada. (I started here).  I lived in the UK for almost 5 years, but now I am back in Canada (since late 2006), living and working north of Toronto.
• I recently move here to my own domain after almost 6 years of free blogging.  I changed my mind about running ads, but more importantly, decided to spend some money on my hobby to take creative control.  If you are interested in placing an ad on this blog, please contact me at emmawiller at gmail dot com.
• I will do product reviews, book reviews, etc.  I will most likely put them on my review site, which you can find here.  I think it’s kind of weird to tell my story about my life and suddenly rave about laundry detergent, as wonderful as that detergent may be.  So I’m happy to review your product, if it would appeal to a busy working mother of two little boys – again, just contact me.
• I’m not here to increase my page hits or my Google rank (I say that like I know what the hell it is, ha!).  I don’t do search engine optimization. So I have this plug in for SEO but I still don’t know what I am doing. This is not my full time job; it’s a hobby blog.  I’ve just always had the inclination to write (I’m not even claiming that it’s well-written – it’s just written).  Stay and read if you like.
