Oh my. I almost wanted to download insta again to see this... but effort levels. Can someone copy and paste?
Oh... believe me.. I understand it’s emotional. But these insta mums are sooo cliche!
It goes a little something like... Reflective essay for birthday, reflective essay for starting school, reflective essay for the end of a holiday, reflective essay for ‘smashing potty training’... amongst a load of photos in fields, trampling wildlife and wild flowers in order to get the perfect #candid, picking up a bloody pumpkin on a damn pumpkin patch with some sodding pumpkin spiced latte whilst rolling around in autumn leaves because #fall... #favseason (fave season for your ‘grid’ you mean!) and don’t even get me started on the Christmas crap which begins in November. Ahhhh... The calendars, a toy a day to keep the Mum guilt away because I exploit you for likes and I’m always on the gram, the elf on the damn shelf, the Christmas Eve boxes, the stockings stuffed with pointless crud and enough sugar to rocket them off to Pluto before 9am, the sales shopping that they whack affiliate links to ... Because god forbid we try and recover from spending a small fortune before Christmas! Oh please .... Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas... just not the staged photo cliches! Oh and then after Christmas it doesn’t stop then... it will be the brigade of the reflective and elusive essays about how it’s been the best year ever and the next year will contain some mysterious exciting plans (like opening up a stall, or partnering with Lidl for an ad... disclaimer.. I love Lidl.... or popping out another baby) before bursting into January covered in a whole lot of active wear - usually the cost of a whole wardrobe for the average lowly follower... with juicing and fad diets.. a blender add.... hash tags like #smashedit... before we soar right into Easter where the kids are bundled off with their flipping Easter baskets loaded up with enough chocolate to feed a small family of oompa lumpas.... dressed in #gifted ears with Pom Pom tails which will ultimately end up in a land fill before summer because #springclean #zoflora #mariekondo
Next we’ll drift into the summer holidays where we’ll see the usual pushing of the extortionate day trips and holidays away, that are completely out of reach to many.
And I’ll stop there.
No. I don’t need to redownload insta because I have a feeling I can predict t all anyway.
