I was recently interviewed by a fellow blogger and she asked me why I started blogging.
I told her that I started blogging because I wanted other parents to know they weren’t alone in the insanity that is parenthood.
I wanted them to read my stories and laugh because the very same thing happened to them.
I wanted them to feel like there was a place where they were understood. Where it was okay to curse, okay to complain and okay to mock our children behind their backs.
So I’ve decided to do something about that all.
I’m creating a video project where YOU are the subject.
I want you to take one picture of what a day in your life is like. Perhaps it is of something that stresses you out. Perhaps it is something that made you laugh. Perhaps it is something you hate. Perhaps it is something you love. The key is that it is shows what one brief moment of your life as a parent looks like.
My hope is the same as when I started this blog. To show parents that you aren’t alone. Perhaps it will make a mom who is having a bad day laugh when she sees it. Perhaps it will remind a dad of the things that are important to him when he is struggling to balance it all. But in the end, it will be what REAL parenting looks like.
No names will be used. No links will be included. It’s just a visual presentation of the reality that is parenthood.
Email your picture to martinisandminivans at hotmail.com – please have your picture emailed by Wednesday, November 19. My plan is to have the video up by Thanksgiving.
Email me your picture. Do it. Come be part of it all.
