Mommy Pictures

One of the fifty million MommyBlogs I read is by Meredith who thought up this fabulous idea called “In the Photo Fridays”.  The whole idea is that we Moms are always behind the camera taking pictures of our little ones that we rarely have pictures of ourselves.  Some day, I am sure that I will regret not having more pictures with Cameron.

Having pictures taken of myself is hard.  Not only do I have to hand the camera to my husband and say “here, take a photo” which always makes me feel kind of awkward, but many days I do not want my picture taken.  My hair is a mess, I’m still in my pjs (we’re doing good if I don’t have any milk dispensers hanging out), and I haven’t seen a stick of lipstick in days.  I feel frumpy and I look tired.  I am definitely not feeling like a model.

The point is, Who Cares?  Isn’t being a Mommy Blogger all about the realities of Mommyhood?

Also, we are always most critical of ourselves, and as a new Mommy, it is important to learn to love ourselves so that we can help our children become strong, confident individuals.
