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.

2004/12/15 at 5:00 amDooce, please tell us who that is standing behind you (at a counter?). Oooo, and I see someone else trying to hid too!!! How many people can you spot in the Christmas ornament?
Julie
2004/12/15 at 5:01 amCould that possibly be John *maybe* changing a diaper at a pack-n-play in the background of the ornament? Either that or he is doing something at a really cool green sink!
Candice
2004/12/15 at 5:01 amMan, if you have a blue/silver tree…
I am, like, SO jealous.

Dyanna
2004/12/15 at 5:14 amI f’in LOVE your camera. The fact that we can see Jon doing something in the background in the reflection on an ORNAMENT for chrissake is AWESOME! Oh, and the chick taking all these fabulous pictures ain’t too shabby either. 😉
christilee

Miss Kimberley
2004/12/15 at 5:17 amYou’ve got some swank christmas style, Dooce. Love it.
Cheryl
2004/12/15 at 5:23 ami think I might be a bit picture of the day retarted. I try every day to come up with some quick witted response to the picture (#7) … but I get nervous due to the competition to be first. So here comes my quick witted comment:
Wait For It…
Wait For It…
Baby’s First Christmas…
Yeah wasn’t worth the wait was it.
Sorry 🙂

2004/12/15 at 5:23 amReally cool photo, Dooce.
Laura
2004/12/15 at 5:29 amThat picture is freakin awesome… is that John in the back with Leta?
Kelli
2004/12/15 at 5:34 amYou should totally submit that one to the Mirror Project. I know you do a lot of reflection pics, but this is one of my favorites, and they are asking for pics reflected in “shiny balls.” http://www.mirrorproject.com/
Ali
2004/12/15 at 5:34 amHaha, excellent, you can see your totally geeky and awesome watch, Dooce.
Stephanie
2004/12/15 at 5:35 amVery nice pic. Merry Christmas!

2004/12/15 at 5:41 amYou remember in advance! It takes me days to make the connection. Every month. Every month for years and years and years. I am NOT a fast learner.

That Guy
2004/12/15 at 5:51 amDoh! Kelli stole my idea about telling you to post it on the Mirror Project.
Never the less, very cool picture.
Eric
2004/12/15 at 5:51 amQuestion: If Jon stands up will his head get caught in the ceiling fan? And if so, is that not an adequate punishment for tickling offenses?
Stephen McKenna
2004/12/15 at 5:54 amWho got astro-turf installed in their living room?
pismire
2004/12/15 at 5:55 amHA! I took this same exact picture of myself this year and put it on my blog a couple weeks back, only my camera isn’t NEARLY as awesome. I must now go shopping. . .
