I truly believe that blogging is therapeutic. Or, at the very least, an emotional form of preventative medicine. My mindset has been altered by the mere existence of a potential audience for even some of the more mundane aspects of being a stay-at-home-mom. Here's an example of what I mean.
A couple months ago Ian convinced the girls that the skin of an apple is practically bursting with an array of vitamins, nutrients and other mouth-watering goodness. As a result they no longer seem able to properly consume the fruit. Apparently they now feel it absolutely necessary to focus all attention on the superiority of the "red parts" and ignore all the "boring" insides.
Normally, finding a perfectly good apple in such a mutilated condition would have provoked an onslaught of lectures (think about the starving children our parents all acquainted us with back in the day). But there will be no lectures today. Instead I find myself grabbing for the camera in an attempt to document a humorous moment in my otherwise boring day.
How awesome is that? I'm relaxed. I'm chill. I'm as laid back as I'm going to get! Thank you, blogging world.

Am, you make me laugh so hard. That is too funny. I'm so proud that they got all those good vitamins! It's an awesome picture too. That could be the next Twilight book, don't you think?
Uh this is hysterical! Maybe you should save the "boring" Parts for Ian! LOL I agree with Teri this could be the next twilight cover!
I hear ya! Blogging has saved many lives at my house! For instance I'm pretty sure my dog would be in the pound were it not for the blogging audience and my camera! Love the pic of the apple! I'm so jealous of your camera and your awesome photo talent!
hey- me too! blogging has totally made me a more patient mom- how rad is that!
