a love note to the rockstar diaries.

Okay, to some, this may come off as a bit creepy, but here it goes anyways. Nearly a year ago my lovely good friend Alyssa, showed me the blog, Rockstar Diaries, accounting the married life of Naomi and Josh who have a smug faced bulldog and in February were given the addition of a gorgeous baby girl. As soon as Alyssa started scrolling through the endless photographs of their life, I felt myself become hooked. Not long after, I found myself checking the blog nearly every day to see if their were any updates, I soon saw that Naomi had a Twitter account and followed her on there & nearly died when she tweeted back at me one day. Now working in D.C. I find myself wondering if I will ever bump into them (again, sorry if I'm sounding creepy or stalker-ish to anyone out there!). So today I saw via Twitter that an article was written about Naomi's blog to my dismay, in a negative tone. The article, chose to focus it on "over-sharing" and how Naomi and Josh in a way flaunt their perfect life, perfect baby and perfect dog, saying things like "...baby Eleanor never seems to cry" and "their dog Kingsley wouldn't be out of place at Crufts," in addition to "...doe-eyed, immaculately dressed Naomi and Josh are unceasingly happy." These are to me, outrageous claims, as an avid reader I know that Naomi has blogged numerous times about bad days, rough days, sad days and any other type of day that you can think of. Her life certainly is not perfect, as no one's is, and she certainly has never claimed it to be.

I think the reason I am so hooked is because for one, the photos Naomi takes, either on her iPhone or a fancier camera, are always gorgeous. She writes simply and to the point, and I think she has influenced me to help notice things I may not have noticed before, to slow down and appreciate the little things. She has inspired me in my own blog, so please Naomi, please keep "over-sharing," because your hundreds of readers and fans have sort of come to depend on it.
