Keep Social Media Classy

The past few weeks I've seen more parents bashing each other over social media than ever before. Typically it's the younger generation.

Here's my thoughts on it:

1. Trying to make someone else look bad by calling out their mistakes for everyone to see, says a lot more about your character than it does them. This isn't a random person. It's the mother/father of your child who you most likely picked so please, have a little class.

2. When your child is old enough they'll be able to see everything you've said. Speaking from experience, when James would bash my mother in front of me it would only make me want my mom and resent him more, so be careful.

3. Employers look on your Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. If they see you spilling dirty secrets, causing drama, acting like a fool and using excessive curse words, do you think they're going to hire you? Probably not.

10 Blogs

Our assignment this week was to find 10 blogs we found interesting for various reasons.
One of my favorite blogs out of the 10 is TMZ. Everyone likes a little drama every once in awhile as long as it doesn't involve them personally. Somehow reading about the craziness in others lives makes people feel as if their own life is full of sunshine and rainbows.

Another blog I enjoy reading but wasn't on the list we chose from is http://emilymaynard.com/. Emily's fiancĂ© was tragically killed in a plane crash in 2004. A few days after the accident she found out she was pregnant with their daughter. If you've watched The Bachelor recently you'll remember her from Brad's season. She later went on to become "The Bachelorette" and millions of viewers across America watched and were confident she would finally get her "happily ever after." The end results weren't quite what everyone was expecting. Since the reality show has wrapped she has started a blog that includes her life lessons, fashion and beauty tips.
