Hello there and welcome to this week’s #PoCoLo a friendly linky where you can link any post published in the last week. If you were here last week, it was great to see you and if you’re new here this week, then you’re very welcome. Both Morgan and I know you’ll find some great posts to read, and encourage you to pop over to some of the posts linked and take the time to leave a comment or two so that everyone benefits from some extra love.
We spent last weekend in Norfolk and on our return to London it was noticeable how much the leaves had changed to a rusty yellow and walking through Greenwich Park to work has really reminded me that I have the best commute. And then for two days this week I’ve been on the train up to Victoria for a conference, and I’ve been reminded again how odd commuting can be, and how glad I am I don’t need to do that every day.
My photo this week is one of the ones I’ve taken while walking through Greenwich Park, and you can see just how colourful the whole park is right now, and how uplifting that is.

1 Who are you?
I am Jenna Ricciardi, the founder of Glitz & GlaMOM, my personal blog & website. I love writing about the things I love most: being a mother, fashion & beauty! I am also the founder of NJ MAMApreneur Networking, a free networking group to help mama’s network & advertise their businesses.

2 How did you discover blogs/blogging?
I discovered blogging through NJ MAMAprenuer Networking as well as in my personal life. I always take my kids to new & exciting places/experiences. Many friends had started telling me to start a blog as a way to turn this into something more, something to remember! I started brainstorming, learning, & then finally developed Glitz & GlaMOM.
3 Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging so that I can do something I love, and write about the things I love doing. I wanted to be with my kids, but also work & contribute. Blogging is a great way for me to be fully present with my kids, but also do something for myself at the same time.

The most challenging part of this experience is finding my audience. It is something I am still working on and learning.
