Your Google History.
I have been toying with this concept about recent Google search history and how that defines who we might be, what kind of a person we are. It makes sense, right? It's about our interests, our fears, our ambitions.
Try it. What are the last few things you've Googled? And then ask yourself, who are you really? Do those things, in some strange way, define you?
Here we go:
3. When is the Clek Fllo 2016 available? This is the babe's new carseat, I have yet to purchase because I've heard that the 2016 model has upgrades and is worth waiting for. She's getting bigger, our lives are changing every single day. And this is one of those big, scary, fun next steps that in Mom World signify that our little lady is quickly becoming not so little. I've Googled this seat, and a dozen others, a lot. I've read the same articles a lot. I'm a little obsessed by this next purchase, and maybe I haven't placed the order because even though she's ready, I'm not ready.
2. Oatmeal Muffins - Yummmmmmmm. I absolutley love it when Lancaster Land is ripe with an aroma of freshly baked goods. I love it when the Mr. gets home and his first reaction is a deep inhale, thankful for the home we've made together and the comfort that this brings. This afternoon, I held the babe on my right hip and awkwardly stirred a bowl of oatmeal into a delicious concoction with my left hand. Substitute coconut oil. Over-pour the flour, by accident. Whatever, I know it's a science and all that, but it's also an art. They were delicious, by the way. She smiled as we made a mess. I hope I remember these moments forever. We'll share the goods for breakfast tomorrow and share the memories with each other without ever having to speak of them.
1. Dr. Joseph Beckman -I work for a nonprofit that focuses on type one diabetes research. It's amazing and I couldn't believe in it more. I'm also emotionally dedicated to another nonprofit organization, The ALS Association, and today some really exciting findings came out that tell us we're even closer to a treatment for ALS, and Dr. Joseph Beckman is behind it. Something I think about often: I hope that by living philanthropic lives, our little one will grow up appreciating the human spirit, giving to what she believes in and working to make the world better and people stronger together. Call me altruistic. I'll take it.
If I were go go even further, I'm sure I'd find things like "Kettlebell workouts" and "Easy Weeknight Meals that Impress" and "How to pick a paint color" and "Natural ways to unclog a drain" and of course, websites like Nordstrom and Amazon and there's a lot of Wayfair and Home Depot going on these days. There's also probably some ridiculous data that counts not only the spelling of searches but the "worry" factor of 3 a.m., when the baby is awake and I don't know what to do, and I'm sitting in the dark, cuddling her in a rocking chair, asking the internet what other moms would do in that situation. I do not advise that anyone go this route, ever. Leave the cell phone on the charger. You do not need to know what crazy moms post about their babies at 3 a.m. It will only make you crazier.
I think my theory has some weight. It's beautiful, right? Who am I? Turns out, I think Google knows. I already did.
XOXO
