The End of Mommy Blogs
I like to believe that's Dr. Pepper in the bottle. Papi had to talk me down off the ledge again last night. I was having my bimonthly emotional crisis*. This time it was brought on by reading too many good-mother blogs. When I first stumble across these I find them inspiring. The moms take professional-quality pictures of children in clothes that they personally sewed from vintage fabric. They make healthy dinners using the organic, locally-grown produce they find at the farmer's market, which of course their children are delighted to eat. Their children eschew Pokemon in favor of Waldorf toys and have yet to watch a television program. They go on "simple living" kicks while simultaneously posting at least daily about the perfectly hip items they found that they COULD buy, because they're also somehow not teetering on the brink of financial apocalypse. They live in mint-condition midcentury houses that are featured on Cookie's blog. All of these things...



Thanks for the free song link. I needed some new music for this Monday. You should check out Hymn #101 by Joe Pug...similar.
ReplyDeleteThe new Ben Kweller album comes out tomorrow as well. Fuel Friends has a put together a bunch of the new tracks he performed live on the BBC.

"Yankee doodle went to town.." No? I'm no movie lover, but I saw this one twice.
