My first IG picture |
We got ideas for green smoothie recipes |
My IG pregnancy announcement - that's Rawkus (now Otis!) at 13 weeks. |
Our dog, Molly, has featured more times than I can count, our home, things I've cooked, places we've been, people I love, all shared with my Instagram friends. Who have become real friends. 2 in particular, one in Tasmania and one in the UK. We were already following each other when we all discovered we were pregnant. Our babies were born within weeks of each other. They are my 'other' mothers group, the ones I could 'chat' with during the early morning feeds, who offer me ideas and suggestions when I am struggling with something, and share my excitement when milestones pass.
I've signed my Mum up - she only follows me, but it means she gets regular updates on my life. She even shows the pics to my 95 year old grandmother. Can you imagine what Instagram must be like to someone who has lived the last 95 years? She is fascinated by the comments, wanting to know who the people are, where they live, and how I 'know' them.
In short, it's changed my life. For the better. Do you use Instagram? Find me under the username makinglimecello
I know exactly what you mean about IG. Whilst I can't claim it got me pregnant, my IG friends (in particular you and C) were such an amazing support when the girls were in hospital. Like you as well I think my online friends know me better than my real life friends. Hard to believe - but I guess we all crave community even in a virtual way. And BTW you guys would be most welcome at the hut any time! Good to see you blogging again. Xxx
