While perusing my love
PINTEREST
I read this blog post.
And I realized I have a problem.
I HATE having my picture taken.
I definitely prefer being behind the camera.
I don’t like seeing photos of myself
because…
well…
I have wrinkles,
and more than one chin,
and a couple extra bulges here and there:
around my middle,
and my behind,
and my thighs
and my….
everything else.
Sometimes my hair doesn’t look great.
Sometimes I have food in my teeth.
Sometimes the circles under my eyes show up more than my eyes.
And sometimes,
I’m just not smiling.
But after reading that blog,
I started to realize that maybe that all that stuff doesn’t really matter.
What really matters is that my husband/kids/family
knows I love them and I love being with them.
So I decided to take the challenge.
I will take a picture with my family once a month.
With my cute husband.
My darling children.
If I can get us all together,
well,
we’ll do that too!
Scooter and I took this Monday this week.
I was feeling pretty good, so we went outside and started building a snow fort together.
There he is in all his cuteness.
There I am in all my flawed Shingle-ness.
And there we are….
TOGETHER!
(This weekend I get a pic of myself and Flynn! Yippee!)

You are the most wonderful woman I know.
I love everything about this post, including the blog post about Aleida's challenge and the picture of you and Scooter! I read a blog post just yesterday about loving ourselves no matter what so that our own children will learn to love themselves. Eye opener, for sure.
Glad you're feeling better.
What a fabulous post!!!! I don't always put myself in the pictures, but with a tripod WHY NOT!!!!
I love the blog post about Aleida's challenge.
Thank you so much for sharing this.
So glad you are feeling better. And love the picture of you and Scooter!!!!
Great idea! I need to try that.
OK, now I am feeling guilty.
I avoid the camera for so many reasons.
I had my picture taken today for a thing, and I look like I'm a wanted felon!
Glad you get to have a weekend with Flynn!!!!
