I am a mom, therefore I need a blog, and you do too

{definition of my life during nap time}

Okay, so beyond the obvious reason a mom usually begins a blog, i.e.

to document the day-to-day preciousness of family life,

{one of the main reasons I got goin'},

I daresay I have found an equally important reason to keep that blog a-goin', or if you haven't started one yet, to hop on the ole' bandwagon:

WHEN YOU SIT DOWN AT THAT COMPUTER WITH EVERY INTENTION OF WRITING A NEW DAY'S POST, YOU ARE TRANSFORMED FROM THE WORLD'S LARGEST POOPER-SCOOPER INTO SOME SORT OF SELF-ENTERTAINING, STELLA-JUST-GOT-HER-GROOVE-BACK TYPE WOMAN.....SOMEONE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN AROUND SINCE BEFORE THE PITTER-PATTER OF THOSE TINY, BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FEET IN THE HALLWAY.

{oh, you know, just entertaining myself pre-Babe #2}

{Am I wrong??!}

It's so true! Even if you don't particularly like to write, per say, just sitting there with your feet propped up and that cup of coffee in your hand while perusing through your favorite blogs transforms you, RIGHT?!

That has been my experience, at least.

It gives me a chance to breathe.

It gives me a chance to reflect.

It gives me a chance to laugh like a crazy woman at some story from halfway across the world.

Basically, it refreshes, inspires, relaxes.

{because every now and again.....}

Sometimes this perpetual-lack-of-make-up, forever-yoga-pants-appropriate, my-hair-has-no-reason-to-not-be-in-a-ponytail lifestyle makes me feel like I'm ONE OF THOSE MOMS who has totally let herself become ONE OF THOSE MOMS, but sit me down for an hour and let me read about OTHER moms who are living my same lifestyle with a little humor thrown in the mix, and suddenly I FEEL BETTER AND ENTHUSED!

{so enthused I would consider taking a picture like this again....funky lip and all}

So here's the botton line:
if you're a mom, you need a blog because that hour in front of the computer screen can qualify for some much needed YOU time, and that is simply GOLDEN.
{.....and so that way I can laugh at your family's funny moments without feeling like a creep-o. Ya dig?}
