I recently read an article that really convicted encouraged me to be sure that I am getting in the pictures with my girls not just hiding behind the camera. (click here for this awesome article) This is always something I feel like I’ve tried to do, but I most definitely haven’t published all the pictures because lets face it. Most of my photo ops with the girls have been as a way to kill some time on the harder days when we are home and it’s only 9am but feels like 10pm. But, since this is my online journal of my mom life with my girls, I figured I would go through all the pictures on my phone and pull a majority of photos that have me in the picture with my girls. Now, I feel a bit caught up… and I learned a thing or two….

After looking through these, I learned that I wear pj’s a lot, which I don’t know how I really feel about that. Honestly, I think I’m okay with it only because I know it won’t last forever and between waking up, being mom, working, being mom, being mom, being wife, being mom, working, and trying to catch a breather I feel like I’ve earned a pj pass.
I learned that I make some really strange faces when taking pictures with the girls, and in far too many my mouth is wide open. haha! Oh well, at least I’m loving life and having FUN with these sweet girls!
I think I’m going to really focus on getting into the pictures more. Even if they are crappy phone photos, blurry, or less than flattering. I think they’ll like looking back on these… They certainly make me smile… or… laugh
My love to you all….
