As I was showing Eric these little photo collages, he just shook his head and silently laughed at me. I'm a dork, ok? It made me think blogging and being a blogger. So many things that I think are normal and are totally natural for me and other bloggers are probably pretty weird for the general public.
I thought of my friends, out with their husbands, taking individual pictures of each other and collaging them together or of them staging mini-photoshoots and taking photos of everything or not just making a project or recipe, but taking step-by-step photos of every little thing. No, it would never happen. I guess that's what makes us bloggers so "special." Weird or normal? Your call.
Anyway, the other night my mom came over and watched the kids, so and Eric and I could go out to dinner and to hear an acoustic show by the Los Lonely Boys (my mom gave us the tickets, too!). It was such a fun night and I love any excuse to dress up.
baha... at least Eric LETS you do this - my Ben would look at me like I asked him to `pose in a tu-tu` if I tried this stunt!
ReplyDeleteI think most hubbies slightly cringe at us blogger wives who want to post any.and.every element of our lives online.... that`s why I don`t get to post much about my ben - for his own sanity. ;o) You guys look too sweet tho! Glad you got a date in!

hahah! As I was taking the pictures my husband had no idea (and neither did I) that I was actually going to do this with them. I was actually just testing the lighting and the camera settings, but then I thought....this is perfect for an outfit post. ha!
DeleteHaha, oh gosh, I love these so much :)
Deletehaha this post is so true.
ReplyDeleteEverything I do now I take pictures of - even my 3 year old asks "mama you going to take picture of me going outside?" pretty sad haha
My husband kind of gets excited about projects now though because he knows I will be taking pictures and blogging about it.
He has become a lot more creative lately because of the blog and I think he likes it :)
this photos are so adorable!!

hahhaha! I love this...I feel the same way sometime. I take pictures of like...every meal we make, even when we have friends over!
ReplyDelete"...not just making a project or recipe, but taking step-by-step photos of every little thing" I thought that was normal...until you brought this to light for me ;) I like that we bloggers are "special." Haha, too funny, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove both of your outfits and what a great date night + amazing Mom! I'm getting into the "oooh we should take a picture of this and blog about it or pin it," which is slowly starting to take over, ha.
ReplyDeletehaaa- yesss!! so, so true. we are weirdly special us bloggers! i think it's great that it's now the normal for my family so they don't even question it!
ReplyDeleteMy family has started to understand my 'blogging brain.' They jump in and help take pictures and even add the occasional, "You should blog about this."
ReplyDeleteWhen people ask me why I blog, I tell them it's because I want to remember. I want to remember the little things. The unplanned moments. I want to document them forever. And I think that's something all of us bloggers have in common.
We just want to remember.
I love the Los Lonely Boys! You both look awesome.
