I keep going back and forth whether or not I want to keep this blogging thing going. I started blogging when Jack was 15 months old. And I can't tell you how amazing it is to look back and re-read the amazing stories I have from my kids. And the pictures. And the videos. And sometimes having this blog forces me to document those sort of things. But then there is my husband who is anti everything social media. Except LinkedIn, because that is "professional" - right. I mean it is sort of weird that all of my personal things are just out in cyberspace. But lets be honest, who is really reading this anyway? All 6 people reading this are harmless, right? ha. Maybe I should be putting watermarks on my pictures? So people don't steal them? But then it's like, who is going to steal my pictures, and even if they did - so what. Right? I don't know.
Does anyone ever get weirded out about blogging? Facebook has kind of been annoying me too lately. I think I'm going to deactivate my account soon. I barely use it anyway. I love instagram though! Love love love that! Follow me at molly_st!
As a stay at home mom, I love the random interactions I can have with people through blogging or through commenting on blogs. Which again, kind of creepy? I don't know!
A few funny remarks from Jack:
Jack: "mom, why can't a guy marry two girls"
Me: ummmmmmmm. Just because.
Jack: "mom, does spiderman live in our neighborhood"
Me: ummmmmmmm. Maybe.
Jack: "mom, do you know what I'm going to be for halloween in 2014?
me: no, what?
Jack: I'm going to be the hulk.
me: ok. well what are you going to be in halloween 2013?
Jack: Captain America
me: Ok sounds good. You do know Halloween isn't for like 9 more months, right?
Jack: yeah I know. Halloween is OctoVer 31st. And also in OctoVer is daddys birthday, jennys birthday, great grandma's birthday.
OMG, note to self, STOP putting pictures on calendars for birthdays. Rainman, much? Much too much.
I like your blog...i think its amazing to have your memories documented. I get that it might be creepy and all but I might one of your only reader and look forward to your life updates. Either way you have to do whats best for your family. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteThanks Erin!
Deletei love your blog too! I love your stories because I don't feel alone in the mother of 3 boys world. Plus your photos are always the best:-)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you are blogging again too E!
DeleteI have the EXACT same thoughts on blogging...I LOVE it because it creates a journal of sorts of our daily life, and I print out a book each year to keep as well. But at the same time, it's SO OUT THERE for the world. I always worry that I should be water marking my photos as well, but then I'm like...who is going to steal my photos and even if they do, do I care? I don't think I do really.
ReplyDeleteAnd, this is a totally morbid, but sometimes I think that if something were to ever happen to me, my kids would be able have a detailed journal of their lives with their mom and see how much I loved them. Terrible thought to think, but still...
Anyway, I just got into instagram and love it too! I just sent a request to follow you :)
Hooray! I've been meaning to make my blog into a book for forever now but have never gotten around to doing it.
DeleteTo Blog! It helps all of us Mama's out there no that we aren't insane :) Creepers will always creep no matter where you are. Do what makes you happy and I too LOVE to look back, plus it is a digital baby book for your kids some day, they'll love it probably more! It also forces so many more pictures that might otherwise go unnoticed, I love that! Keep bloggiing please :) I forgot to mention on my last comment, love the new layout! xxo
