When I first heard about Snapchat oh so long ago it was in the news as another way for teenagers to send not so private photos of each other to each other without the risk of those photos getting into the hands of anyone else.  I assumed this was a teenage thing and me being well out of my teenage years didn’t belong in the Snapchat world.

BUT I WAS WRONG!  

After hearing from several friends who used the App, I decided that I had to investigate it for myself.  For posterity purposes only.  {right?}  And what I discovered pretty much changed my life.  Or at least the lives of the friends who added me as Snapchat friends.  {THANKS GUYS!}  They totally don’t regret it at all.

See, the beauty of Snapchat is that it is for everyone.  Especially Moms. 

How else are we supposed to entertain our lovely little munchkins who are awake at ALL hours of the day?

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How else are we supposed to convey what our lives are truly like at that exact moment in time?  A picture paints a thousand words, does it not?

Then, there’s the awesome filters.  Most of the filters are a bit strange, but some make you look good.  As in the filters hide that I haven’t showered in 48 hours and have bags under my eyes the size of Texas.  Thanks Snapchat!

The filters can be timely.  Like this amazing one!  I’m a hardcore Harry Potter fan.  I tried the filter on myself, but it wasn’t as cute.  It was more sad.
 

 

 

 

For the most part I simply try to give my friends a laugh.  Whether it’s with a quick snap of me my kiddos or something a little crazy.

As much as the teenagers love their snaps, I find that snapping with my friends is just another way to stay connected.  And isn’t that what is’a all about?

Yes, I still text them.  And yes we still chat on the phone.  But just because I’m a grown adult doesn’t mean I can’t have a little fun too.  MOMS CAN HAVE FUN!

 

SERIOUSLY!
