I concur and am going to adopt your new word! I've begun to view some blogs a little like magazines, where everything is perfect and aspirational rather than true-to-life. Once I did that I felt better. I'll e-mail you something I received which summed it up perfectly.Bristol Parenting Cafehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472893404379054541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129064848004232361.post-66233624170482142572010-12-16T21:31:50.756-08:002010-12-16T21:31:50.756-08:00Hey Andrea. I'm really sorry to hear about yo...Hey Andrea. I'm really sorry to hear about your wrist/shoulder. I hope you are feeling much better by now.<br /><br />I can totally relate to what you're saying here. We working moms can't compete with the blissful lifestyles depicted on some of our favorite "perfection" blogs. I feel confident that even the perfection bloggers can't compete with those images. For whatever reason they feel good about putting that out there without much balance. That is their deal and that is okay. I just try to enjoy the eye candy and get crafty inspiration and stay firmly grounded in my own reality which is very much being part of the real world (as much as I think I'd prefer sometimes to be less so).<br /><br />That said, I hope no one feels bad when they read my blog! I just like showing what I'm up to and having someone to share that with, since I don't really have any local friends who are into what I'm into.Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147791473133449106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129064848004232361.post-78385201050562516122010-12-15T17:26:36.564-08:002010-12-15T17:26:36.564-08:00it is also mercury retrograde right now. if you...it is also mercury retrograde right now. if you're into that type of stuff.

And then I had to make myself stop reading it. Maybe this blog gives others inspiration and warm fuzzies, but for some reason it made me feel crappy.<br />You make beautiful things with your boys, they are lucky to have you as their Mama.6512 and growinghttp://6512andgrowing.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129064848004232361.post-32047829363419580452010-12-15T10:24:33.142-08:002010-12-15T10:24:33.142-08:00Blogtopia!
