the smell of my desperation has become a stench
Heather B. Armstrong
Hi. I’m Heather B. Armstrong, and this used to be called mommy blogging. But then they started calling it Influencer Marketing: hashtag ad, hashtag sponsored, hashtag you know you want me to slap your product on my kid and exploit her for millions and millions of dollars. That’s how this shit works. Now? Well… sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

2004/09/15 at 5:28 amMy heart just melted at all that CUTENESS. There’s just nothing more precious than a father and daughter together.

2004/09/15 at 5:30 amGoddamn, you have a beautiful family, Heather. Leta has the beginnings of Moveable Type hair, I think…
I’m so glad everything went well yesterday. *hugs* to all of you.

2004/09/15 at 5:31 amThat is a beautiful photo. One you’ll probably look back to when your 80 and just feel calm.

2004/09/15 at 5:33 amWhoa! Like father, like daughter, holy cow. That’s so cool.
Very glad to hear Leta is OK.

2004/09/15 at 5:38 amMan, how awesome. You are so very lucky, Heather. You have a wonderful man for your lifelong partner, and you’ve created an absolutely incredibly beautiful child together. Continued good blessings coming your way from this fan in Myrtle Beach.

2004/09/15 at 5:45 amawww…that’s so precious.
there are no photos of me and my father, since he didn’t want me. leta is a lucky little lady to have a daddy who loves her and cherishes her.
you guys are the best 🙂

2004/09/15 at 6:35 ami like leta’s haircut. she looks like a punk (an adorable punk that is) – you’re an awesome family, but i know you know that ;o)
Lauren
2004/09/15 at 6:36 amI think Leta is cuter than Jon, sorry. Nice shot, I’d frame it and put it on the wall but then you’d think I was the stalker.
alibean
2004/09/15 at 6:41 amYour Leta is full of baby cute-ness- those cheeks! that hair! those little fingers full of wiggles!
Jon is full of the hottness!
Heather is one lucky momma!

jenny
2004/09/15 at 6:49 amit’s hard to picture that cute little face screaming for hours on end. she’s adorable!

2004/09/15 at 7:02 amLove your website, But girl if it ever looses it’s umph~ Try photography as a husband and wife team. Some of the best candids I have ever seen have been on this website.
Cece
2004/09/15 at 7:12 amEEK! Are you SURE she wouldn’t be interested in a Theodore look-alike? You could have Chipmunk grandbabies!
……that look like Jon.
Seriously…that is a beautiful picture.
jen
2004/09/15 at 7:13 amWhat a wonderful photo!!
She looks so much like her Daddy!!
Very happy that that the MRI showed that all is well!!
Candice
2004/09/15 at 7:28 amOh, lordy.
Leta is the cutest cute that ever cuted, no doubt about that. But DAY-UM, Jon is hot. I just wanna say that you are extremely lucky to wake up next to him (not that you didn’t already know that — and not that you’re not the total hotness yourself).
I’ll bet Jon loves reading all these “OMG your husband is the hottest!!!11” posts. 😀

2004/09/15 at 7:35 amOh my goodness! How beautiful is this picture? You have the most beautiful husband and daughter! And that camera? Totally need to get me one of those. No, my son does not need to attend college because I need a Nikon D70!
Angellivia
2004/09/15 at 7:38 amLook at her hair! The way it sticks up cute and staticky (ok, I know that’s not a word)! She’s adorable, and she looks so much like her Daddy!

2004/09/15 at 8:08 amWere you even in the same room when Leta was conceived?
That’s a great pic, your family is beautiful!
Kate
2004/09/15 at 8:10 amEveryone else has mentioned how good looking your family is, so I won’t, Jon and Leta will be impossible to live with.
What I want to know is when did Jon shave the beard?
AndiMAC
2004/09/15 at 8:16 amToo beautiful. You are a great photographer. Im glad I found this site.

2004/09/15 at 9:20 amWhen they had to put tubes into my daughter’s ears at 18 months they gave her that same sedative. I concur — the funniest thing EVER is a “drunk” baby.
