Goodbye Facebook!

March 31, 2011 by Juliann

Wow.  I am officially out of the loop.  No more social networking for me.  Bye bye Facebook.  I just deleted my Facebook account, and I feel it was for the best.  I was spending far too much time 'snooping' around other people's lives, checking up on them to see who's married, who's single, who's wrinkled and who's fat.  I was becoming obsessed with the drama of other people's lives, and worst of all, it was beginning to consume me.  I was letting myself get drawn in too deeply into another world, one that was not mine, one I had no business getting involved in.  I put myself out there, raw and vulnerable with my daily statuses. No matter how frivolous they may have been to me, someone else may have been reading into it a far deeper meaning.  I almost let myself fall into literally the wrong hands.  I might have really hurt this individual who picked up on my vulnerability, and reached out to me.  I truly appreciate what he was trying to do, but I was getting too involved into his personal life and letting him too far into mine.  It scared me.  I may just be a coward, but I had to run the other way.  I am sorry for any pain I have caused this individual who was trying to be my friend, but I had to throw caution to the wind, and not lead him on anymore.  I don't know where I was leading him, but it was getting too wierd.  So, if anything, I have learned a valuable lesson about social networking.  It can certainly be fun and entertaining, but it is too easy to get caught up in a world you might not have intended to.

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.
