Gummergal.com? Why The Name Change?

Ok, ok, ok…so I’ve been thinking about changing the name of my blog for a while now, but like everything else in my life, it just took a while before I could actually find the time to make it all happen. In case you are wondering, I’m not abandoning the “Band Wife” label all together, I just feel that there are other bigger parts of my life now that have eclipsed that one particular aspect (like being a new Mom for starters!) and since Todd has been sliding into less and less traveling lately, I’m not sure how much longer the “traveling musician” thing will be a part of our family— I know the musician part will always be huge, but the traveling part is up in the air as of lately.

Anyways, I’ll still leave all the posts that speak to the band wife life as I hear often through comments and emails that those are helpful to other gals out there who have to deal with traveling partners (and I’m so glad I can be of help to anyone!). And who knows, I may still have a lot more to share on that topic in the future but I’ll just do it as Gummergal instead as that feels a lot more encompassing of me as a whole and all the new roles that I’ve taken on in the past few years.

So, there you have it—it’s a small name change but I wanted to explain a little bit about why it’s happening and just assure you that if you like following along with our lives and what kinds of things I share here, all that will still be the same. Thanks for reading guys, as always I’m so glad you are here!!
