5 Mommy Blogger Stereotypes

So I've resisted being a "Mommy Blogger" for a long time now (a whole 6 months) and before that, I was resisting being a Preggo Blogger...simply because I didn't want to be one of "those" Mommy Bloggers. I'm officially giving in and trying it out because with all this extra time on my hands [note the heavy sarcasm] I need something else to keep me busy.

I've noticed 5 distinct types of Mommy Bloggers, so I'll take this first post to assure you that I am not one of them. Plus, I can go ahead and get the stereotypes out of my system.

1) The Couponing Mommy - Yes, I coupon and yes I buy the Sunday Cincinnati Enquirer purely for the coupons inside. I used to be embarrassed to coupon...hated being in line at the Hyde Park Kroger with a fist full of coupons while yuppies behind me carrying lettuce, cottage cheese and Diet Coke sighed heavily. Go to the Express Lane and quit your eye rolling! I will not, however, be blogging about it.

2) The "My Baby's Poop is" Mommy - We've started feeding Baby Girl carrots now, so if you're a mom, you know what that means. If you're not a mom, you could care less. That's why I'll avoid blogging about poop and other topics that fall into the TMI category.

3) The Crafty Mommy - I don't sew my own baby clothes, make unique hair bows for her or make elaborate photo collages of our family. Someone gave me a scrap book before Baby Girl was born...and in 6 months I've done 4 pages. I'm just not cut out for crafts.

4) The Cooking Mommy - 3 words - I DON'T COOK. My husband does, and on the rare occasion that I do stuff some odd concoction in the oven, trust me, you don't want the recipe.

5) The Green Mommy - We recycle and we try to do our part, but I just can't do the whole cloth diaper thing, and if I tried to use the reusable grocery bags I would just end up forgetting them at home. My dog would trample any kind of vegetable garden we would try to plant and sometimes, bottled water is just more convenient, so I'll just stick to my recycling and leave all the rest for you hippie moms out there.
