Social Media Overload

A friendly reminder- tomorrow is Proud Mommy Moments!! Please, please play along. AND next Tuesday- the 30th will be Ten Things to Smile About This Month--Tuesday!!

Ryder is switching to, or should I say trying to switch to, one nap. Kind of makes me want to cry. Not only does it mean he is growing up but it also means no 100% free time for mama. Alex has preschool on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and so after we drop her off Ryder would usually take a nap and it was total me time. Oh well, it will go fast and I will wish for these days, it will go fast and I will wish for these days. That is what I keep repeating to myself.

So in honor of losing more free time I finally joined Twitter! Seems kind of counter intuitive I know, but well I did it. My user name is @Emmymom2 so come find me- you can even click the little blue button I added on my sidebar or what the heck click it right here
Follow Emmymom2 on Twitter

Also I already told you how I joined Pintrest- once again my user name is Emmymom2 (I really got a corner on that huh?) Follow me by clicking the button
Follow Me on Pinterest

And and... yes another And.. I am using Instagram now. Instagram is a cool photo app where you can do some fun one-click edits- the pictures all end up the cool vintage square type- and then you share them on your page (or you can keep your pictures private). You can follow your friends-- my Instagram name is Emmymom (no 2 this time). If you want to see some random pictures I am taking. Here are a few I recently added.
So I've got the social media hook up!

Now if I just had time to fix my photography website.. and my blog... starting to itch for a redesign (any new designers want free advertising???). I think I need just a week to myself... heck I would take a total day... and some money to go shopping with too. Oh and someone to shop with-- like CA Girl!! Hmm that might be a good birthday present! Look- I thought of something Eric!

What about you- what social media things are you on?

  1. You are all hooked up!!

    I have to say that I love Pinterest - I tried to sign up and they put me on a waiting list but I still like to look around - there are so many cool and creative things there. I will check out your Pinterest.

  2. I'm on everything, but honestly, I don't get to spend enough time doing any of it! I did follow you back on twitter too, and I tweeted to ya!

  3. I am on zero!! And this is why I'm having a hard time wanting to switch over to all that stuff. I'm feeling like I don't need more things to distract me, except that I know I'd probably really enjoy it too . . .

  7. I haven't been able to give myself to twitter-- I did create an account a year or more ago and I haven't been back b/c it was too confusing to me-- plus I don't have a lot to say on FAcebook, so I didn't want to lead anyone on with Twitter.. heh
    So, FAcebook, Pinterest and Blog life-- gotta check out instagram! :) hugs!

  13. Look at you! You are so connected!

    I need to follow you!

    I keep trying to tweet and I am very sporadic about it. I have a difficult time stopping and tweeting every time something comes in to my head. It is easier than sitting down to do a full blog though.

    I am looking to do a redesign too so if you get any good leads, let me know. I have to change my "logo."

  14. I totally don't speak Twitter. I just don't get it. I don't think I need anymore social media seeings how I am a social butterfly and all ;) I did join Google+ but I don't get it either. I am rather dense..

    Love the pics!

  15. Well when I can wrestle my phone away from Brennan I mus admit I always do four things: check good old fashioned fb where i find that out of 500 people, NO ONE is updating their status nearly enough to keep me entertained, then text, then email, and then I play words with friends. It is rare for me to make it through the checklist before Brennan wants my phone back. He starts preschool in two weeks where I will have two hours to myself if I can get max down right after we drop him off. This hasn't happened for a very very long time. Brennan dropping his nap last spring was tragic.

  16. Wow, look at you! Carson-Smush is dropping his morning nap, too. Kind of a bummer since Audrey just started morning preschool last week.

  18. Look at you - all hooked up like that! PS. I'm in love with instagram (I occasionally snatch a family members iPhone to play around with it)! I'm off to check you out on pinterest!

  19. Oh man, Jayce switched to one big nap a few months back (I should have waited until just now though because he is just now okay with it. haha) I do miss the 2 naps, and I really didn't think I would. I hope he transitions well for you!

  20. Those instagram pics are so cool. I am dying for an iphone! Do you know if there is any way to instragram regular photos?

  21. I <3 social media long time. I'm on Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Google+, oh Facebook of course (there are so many more options now, FB seems to fade into the background for me - what about you?). I love all the various ways to get to know my friends better. :)

  22. Ha! Love this! Social media rocks!!
    P.S. I'll go shopping with you...I could really use a new wardrobe :)

  23. So glad I "met" you on twitter last night! :-)

    I also use Instagram and Pinterest is so fun! And well, there's always Facebook of course too...

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh my! I ditched FB for one year (beginning of August, my own social experiment). Twitter. Pinterest. Blog. Oh, and Google+, too.

    I would LOVE to play with your logo/design if you'll be my guinea pig. I've been homeschooling my tail off for a while and am dying to take a crack at something new...

  25. @You live through.... is there anyway I can contact you? You don't have a blog or email address hooked to your comment.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'm on the Google plus thing - but I don't really utilize it... I've been thinking about putting it on the ol' blog. I gave up FB for Lent this past year, and haven't really done much since.
    I can't do Twitter -- I use up all of my free time reading blogs! :)

    ..a week alone.. sounds amazing! :)
