I have been noticing a barage of parenting articles, advice, criticisms and calls to arms lately. I am really getting sick of it. There are those who like to tout their proven methods and those who want to scream at other parents for sucking. We all suck a little bit when it comes to being a parent don't we? The standard is impossibly high. We are created in the image of God, not Gods ourselves. From many of the things I have read it seems like a lot of ladies out there are feeling like losers because of all the cool things they see on Pinterest. Is that for real? I love pinterest. It gives me good ideas for me and my little family. It allows me to dream of far off places that intrigue me and that at this point in life I really don't care if I ever get to visit in person. I am not intimidated by the internet and all the cool ideas other moms have and I do not feel bad about myself when I see what other women are posting about their lives and picture perfect families. We want to put on our happy faces to the world and only post good pictures of ourselves and families, who wouldn't? Anyway I just don't think it ought to make anyone feel bad about themselves just because someone else is really good at blogging and posting cool pictures. There are so many ways to get it right and so very many ways to screw it up but I just want to stop hearing about it. So instead of being a whiner I am simply going to stop worrying about it. If this post seems weird and random, well it is. It is 2:30 in the morning and I couldn't sleep. Adieu Kim (I think Kim is the only one that ever reads this blog so just thought I would mention it).
Actually I think I might just be half asleep now. Not sure what brought this on but I am going back to bed. Here are some pics of the coolest fam on the internet! As long as they're happy, I'm happy. Look at those cute smiles!
