Thanksgiving Pictures And Why Mommy Blogging Is Easy.

by Miss Britt on November 30, 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.

    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!

    THIEF

    You stole my formula for my whole blog.

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

    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.
