Thanksgiving Pictures And Why Mommy Blogging Is Easy.

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Do you know why there are so many mommy blogs?

Because it’s easy.

If you have kids, you can throw up pictures from pretty much any day of your life and be like “LOOK!  I POSTED!  SPECIAL MOMENTS WITH MY KIDS!”  and someone, somewhere, will be all “awwww, you have babies and they eat turkey.  So cute.”

And if you take pictures of mundane stuff on an angle, you can call yourself artsy.

See also: pictures of food, plates, and bottles of cheap wine that people who don’t have blogs would never, ever consider photographing.

Of course, you are obligated to document any interaction you have with other bloggers.  It boosts your street cred.

You are not, however, obligated to post any unflattering pictures of yourself.

Unless you’re a masochist.

    Well that’s why I am a mommy blogger. Stick to the formula and no one breaks a sweat. Also unflattering my ass. You look great.

  2. I’m not a mommy blogger, but awwwww!

    And I echo Mom2nji — you look great, shush!

  3. B.E. Earl says:

    I wanted to be a mommy blogger, but my junk got in the way.

  4. Rachel says:

    Sometimes Wordless Wednesday is the only day I post. too bad you let the secret out. :)

  5. Faiqa says:

    Awww, you have kids and you eat turkey. So cute.

    The last photo made me smile so much. Missed you guys. (And, hello, the table looked great!)

  6. avitable says:

    Emma eats just like you. It’s uncanny, really.

    And you look fine in that photo.

    I love Arbor Mist and I’m not afraid to say so.

  8. Becca says:

    I want to post pics of mine dammmit!! Anyways, yours look cute, even while enduring thanksgiving dinner. And, I love the pics at an angle!! :)

  9. Bre says:

    I’ll admit that I haven’t had enough wine expreience to appreciate not-cheap wine. So, the wine on the table looked fit for the job! Hehe
    Looks like you had a good holiday! I’m glad!

  10. Hilly says:

    I keep telling you that THIS is why I need to have a kid!

    Anyway, thank you again for having me for Thanksgiving…it was really awesome and I felt like part of your family. :)

  11. lceel says:

  12. pocket_queen says:

    Obviously, my invitation was lost in the mail.

  21. mel says:

    also, your family is quite adorable.
    Hilly isn’t to bad herself. Such a pretty smile.
    glad you had a good one.

  22. vanessa says:

    so … is your little girl perhaps sporting a handcrafted skirt of … foil…? :)

  23. muskrat says:

    Obviously, I need to become a mommy blogger, then.

  24. martymankins says:

    What a great Thanksgiving meal you had. And Hilly looks so happy to be there (although I did see the wine bottles on the table.. he he)

  25. THIEF

    You stole my formula for my whole blog.

    Except true “mommy bloggers” have some flashing gif and auto-play music.

  26. Peggy says:

    At first glance, I thought Emma was wearing a Reynold’s Wrap skirt in the last picture.

    I think the photos of our kids are great. Without them on my blog, I’d have close to none.

    Sad but true.

    Are you aware that over 500k people died in 1hr in Haiti’s earthquake? Words like “disaster” mean little when you have water, food, and clothing. But does that mean we stop caring?
