Hello hello hello! Today we’re talking about why I love Twitter, and all the things you beautiful tweeters post online that make me smile. I’m really into smiling, and being happy, and loving your tweets, and I’m not necessarily so into writing this introduction (unlike my insanely lengthy intro from last time) so why don’t we just jump right in?
When you start the day with Pepto Bismol, things are either going to get better, or much much worse. Can’t wait to see which. — SelfishMom (@SelfishMom) April 24, 2012
The moms who make me laugh are the best. Dying to know if it got better or worse…though in mom days, this probably feels like 9 years ago by now.
He plays with his hair. Sometimes, he gets his finger caught. Sometimes, he makes a bow.instagr.am/p/Jzbll0zLQt/ — Catherine Connors (@herbadmother) April 24, 2012
Could you all stop having such adorable children? It makes it impossible to get any work done around here when I’m busy gushing and squealing over the computer screen ever 2 minutes (and oh my gosh, don’t even get me started about what happens to my productivity when @DawnRoodebrings in her adorable son!)
The toothpaste and the clearasil look exactly the same. They don’t taste the same. twitter.com/TheBloggess/st… — TheBloggess (@TheBloggess) April 24, 2012
Y’all were killing it last week! Some people say they don’t want to hear the play-by-plays of someone else’s brain, but I am being entirely sincere when I say this is one of my favorite parts of Twitter. Like, how wonderful to know I’m not the only one who ever shoved a glob of zit cream into my mouth at 7am?!

SO happy that TSA no longer requires kids to remove their shoes through security! #travel — Carol Cain (@NYCityMama) April 26, 2012
Literally had no idea that this was a thing. This used to be a thing?! Now I’m convinced the TSA is designed to make good people burst into tears at airport security!
So rumor has it that Real Housewives of Westchester is a go. I can’t believe my favorite brand of wackadoo will be right here @ home! #bravo — Lady O’Grady (@westchesterlife) April 26, 2012
I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this, but the number one question seems obvious: will I finally have a relevant excuse to email Ms. @Bethenny? Because my 20 year old little brother will die of jealousy (I am being 900% serious–he adores her!)
“Twitter is my playground of conversation!” @ramon_Deleon #ramonwow #disneysmmoms — Miss Lori (@misslori) April 27, 2012
I already confided that I adore the more mundane aspects of Twitter, so please share: what does tweeting mean to you? What do you love/hate?

yfrog.com/kget5dcj @NYMetroParents Look what just arrived and who’s excited about Minnie Mouse. Thank you very much! — Nichol Perez (@nilimonicky) May 3, 2012
Check out the adorable winner of our #HappyBirthdayMinnie contest! This photo totally made everyone’s day at the office. Seriously, these are the Twitter moments that enthrall me. Breaking news? Psh. Cute happy child with Minnie Mouse swag? Yes please!
Contractions still every 5 minutes. Moving on to a bowl of cereal. Need the energy, yes? #labortweet — Alison Lee (@AlisonSWLee) May 7, 2012
