Last Mother’s Day had me wondering what kind of mom I was – Tiger, Chopper or Free range<\/a> when Tiger mom was all the rage.\u00a0It is crazy how media makes you question yourself! This Mother’s Day I’m wondering if I’m a Momarazi, a parent that has turned into a Paparazzi Parent. Are you a Momarazi?<\/p>\n Urban Dictionary: momarazzi<\/u><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n momarazzi<\/span><\/strong><\/em>. Moms who line the field or court at a sporting event to photograph their kids with their high priced cameras and telephoto lenses like the paparazzi.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n I\u00a0thought I was clever to have coined the term but no it already exists in the Urban Dictionary, I’m just using the word a little broadly… Are you a parent with a camera or smart device photographing your kids and sharing it on social media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.\u00a0 Do you find your lenses capturing their every move during your travels then\u00a0you are a Paparazzi Parent at some level.\u00a0I recently joined the tribe of Travel Bloggers – although we have been travelling as a family for over 15 years, this blogging and sharing our family travels and pictures is new territory for me.\u00a0 I have always enjoyed reading the different travel sites before planning our travels whether it be the likes of Yahoo Travel\u00a0and Lonely Planet,\u00a0or the more personal stories by Rick Stevens, looking at TravelBabbo\u00a0<\/a>or Landlopers<\/a> travel photographs or Candice’s <\/a>sketches for Travel inspiration.\u00a0 I was inspired enough that I wanted to join them – I decided to create and contribute to the blogging world, so what\u00a0used to be yearly photo\u00a0albums turned into online journals.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My family travel pictures – amateur it may be, once private is online now, uploaded and tagged, searchable and shareable.\u00a0 In the process of writing and journaling I find my self capturing more photos during our trips than before – every meal, every moment is captured. I find I have turned into a Paparazzi Parent – a Momorazzi!!<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0I saw a recent clip of the little Kardhasian walking in her little tutu saying No Photo to the paparazzi who went click click<\/em> anyway, ignoring the little girl.\u00a0 As I was working on the blog this weekend I saw a pic of my kids in a similar pose – in Seville last summer, they were giving me the Whatever\u00a0face<\/em>\u00a0since I\u00a0was going all Paparazzi on them.\u00a0 My kids have no problem with me taking pictures of\u00a0them before, but the constant clicking at every stop and every meal got to\u00a0their nerve I guess and I got the W face!<\/p>\n We all leave our little digital footprints around that can be tracked if someone chooses to.\u00a0\u00a0We share our coffee and our bucket list with the world.\u00a0 We tell them what we like, where we shop,\u00a0where we go, what we do… We trust our digital community that we\u00a0live in, not every one online is a pedophile or a cyber stalker\u00a0but it is better to be safe and use common sense and some social etiquette. There is always a hesitation\u00a0when you\u00a0put your kids out there into the unknown. This made me wonder where should I draw the line, when to just put the camera down and enjoy the moment and when to capture and catalog them, more importantly how to make sure I don’t put my kids and family\u00a0in jeopardy.\u00a0I realized I have to establish some ground rules here – some of these are just common sense and social etiquette\u00a0but better to have some rules nevertheless!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n So here are my\u00a010 Social Media Etiquette for a Momarazzi<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last Mother’s Day had me wondering what kind of mom I was – Tiger, Chopper or Free range when Tiger mom was all the rage.\u00a0It is crazy how media makes Read More …<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4832,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,13],"tags":[1143,1144,505,1145],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
