Blog World
I often think about the time of blogging at we live in, and while it is awesome, don't get me wrong, some days it makes me feel like there are so many perfect people out there. I was starting to feel like a bit of a loser this morning thinking that I have way too many perfect friends with their immaculate houses, gourmet meals (complete with beautiful pictures of these meals including the faded out background showcasing their picture taking skills, of course. ;) It seems like many people are constantly taking studio style pictures of their kids, doing cool crafts with them, crafting genius parties/playdates etc., etc., so I had an idea, and I ran around the house quite excited about this idea. I was going to post (poorly taken as usual) pictures around my house. It is really messy right now, a definite low point. I have some great (crappy) pictures, and I think it was going to be really funny, but when I thought it through, I realized that while I have no problem making fun of myself, I maybe shouldn't embarrass my family. (Mom, you did your best, I wish I had turned out to be the perfect homemaker like you!) So, I will opt out this time, and just say that I have nothing but admiration for my perfect friends (and relatives) and your blogs inspire me to be a little better...off to clean my house!

I'm with you on this! I often have to remind myself that bloggers are only capturing a small snapshot of their life, and it isn't a complete reality. For myself, I know I try to only post about the good things, so my readers will definitely have a skewed view. But nobody is perfect--you should see my house right now!
I feel the same way! A friend of mine and I decided we were going to make an anonymous blog about what horrible homemakers we are. Wanna join? JK.
haha. nicely put, amber.
it's a good thing i have a camera that blurs out the background ... because if you look close enough, the background is always a disaster.
post your pictures. i'll post mine if you post yours. seriously.
amber i just found your blog (from erin's last post) i've read your whole blog, i've been following the edwards family history blog lol...anyways glad i found you!! and LOVE the idea of this post!!
you've inspired me. hope i didn't steal any thunder. it had to be done. and it felt so good.
Haaahaaahaaa.... love it!
Then my blog should make you feel better. It's mostly a log of my foibles and all the dumb things my kids do--about to post pictures of the "cake" my kids made for the chickens. Can you say disaster? I think you and I are birds of a feather. Miss you (and your messy house, which makes me feel so at home!).
