Heather Hopson

Not long ago, Heather Hopson hosted a television show in the Cayman Islands. Today, she's back home writing a different kind of story as a new mom at DiaryofaFirstTimeMom.com. In her 15 years working as a professional journalist, this by far is her best assignment! Recently, she merged the two things she loved the most--journalism and her beautiful baby--and won the BlogHerlicious video contest!

You can watch her award-winning About Me video here-->  http://www.diaryofafirsttimemom.com/about/ 

The blog is confessional. Heather wants other moms to know they’re not alone, even if they don’t have financial or emotional support.  She writes about being dumped in her second trimester, getting stretch marks and receiving WIC benefits. She also shares stories about her loving and supportive family. The blog is also humorous. Followers will swap stress for smiles when they read posts, such as Odd Advice and Stuff Single Moms Say. The blog is informative. It offers advice and provides information on everything from placenta encapsulation and postpartum sex to eczema in infants and fertility yoga. The blog is relatable. The stories make most people laugh, cry or shake their heads.

You don’t have to be a new mom to join the community either. Maybe you’re trying to conceive, already pregnant, a seasoned mom, or a new dad.
