What a lovely post. 

I beat myself up daily about my blog, even though rationally I know that it's a hobby - how dare I compare my modest efforts with those whose livelihoods depend upon what they write every day. The irony is that I work in social media, so I've got a bit of the "cobbler's kids have the worst shoes" syndrome. The fact is, at the end of the day, I put zero effort into promotion - hence, small readership.

To go even a step further, even though I have absolutely no reason to attend any mommy blogger conferences, I still get conference envy.

The irony is that this post will probably do great traffic. ;)
