Soccer in the park. Baking cookies, granola, and bread. Hamburgers and asparagus for supper. Family night (Bananagrams?).There's been an interesting conversation going on about how a blog's tone develops, especially these mommy-blogs, in which stay-at-home parents reflect on their daily lives; and I've noticed this blog has really changed since its inception. More photos. Less text. But also less complaining? Less detail, perhaps. I've begun to treat this space more as a scrapbook than a diary. But is it painting a picture of our daily lives that is too idealized? Does it look like we spend our days cavorting in puddles, our fronts dusted in flour, our minds peacefully occupied? Well, that's 'cause we do.
Or, wait ...
Blogland is nothing if not selective. And I like selecting the good stuff. Tantrums? Siblings whacking siblings? Last-minute-supper-prep-madness? Bathtime resistance? "I'm so bored." Disturbed nights? Late-night glass of wine? Too much coffee? Warts, snot, burping, dirty diapers? Yup, we've got 'em, too. But I haven't started photographing that stuff yet. Maybe I will. Or at least slip in a few views of the darker side of this lifelong adventure, just to balance things out. No promises, however.
