Why the Play Mat?

I've been wanting to start my own website for some time. Rather than continue to think about it, talk about it and plan for it, I have decided to just go for it. I chose the title 'The Play Mat' because my son enjoys his play mat so much. It is his place to relax, play around with the toys he loves so much and explore his new physical abilities. This blog is my play mat- my space to relax and share all of my mommy experiences as I so enjoy doing! His independent play mat time also provides me an opportunity to write which made the title seem all the more appropriate. I am excited to see what this evolves into.
