mommy mondays, be ready.

i read an article when bjl was little...maybe somebody can dig it up... it was about how moms always get lost behind the scenes. moms are very good about taking pictures of their littles, and that includes taking pictures of dad with littles..and mom generally avoid the camera because their hair isn't done etc...but we are amazing people who do amazing things, and that needs to be documented. so i think we should challenge ourselves to take at least one photo of ourselves per week. whether it be with our kids, or without...just to have.

who's with me?

I think thats a good idea. I have realized since having kids that I am almost always the one behind the camera so most of our pictures of the girls growing up are of either them or them and H. I actually have to hand the camera to H and say take our picture so none of those cute 'oh I didn't know you took a picture of that' moments for me

yes, that's the article! thanks @lauralynne!

here's another article i had read recently, similar concept--about loving ourselves (and our photos) as moms.

I like this idea But I'm a party pooper and won't be posting my photo.

How about you take a photo still, so you'll have it for your memories, and post it, with your face blurred out, that way there's accountability for you to take a photo

I am in. I have actually been telling B to take pictures with babylefty and I because I noticed I am the one always taking pictures.
If I am not careful babylefty is going to think his dad raised him
