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...



Ray Price? Now there's an old one.... but good...
ReplyDeleteTry watching the Stanley Cup finals instead (next game Friday 8PM EST) and cheer Pittsburgh to kick Detroits ass this year! Much easier to care about!!
ReplyDeleteI am being forced to watch the NBA finals too. Sucks. (wait, are you being forced, or are you just torturing yourself?)
ReplyDeleteSome of both. We canceled cable, so it's that or crime dramas.
