Cheat!

I've mentioned this before, but I'm on a mission to become the healthiest HomeValley, and I'm blogging about it here.

I'll still be updating QITNM, but would love for you to visit me at http://totalmamamakeover.wordpress.com/.

Happy Holidays!

The Mom Stays in the Picture.

We got family photos done last Saturday.  Here is a sneak peek:


Have you read this?  I think about this ALL THE TIME.  I think the title of the article has become my new mantra.  I find myself repeating it in my head any time I feel uncomfortable with my body.

I see JOY.  Pure joy. 

Why would I ever not allow a camera to capture that?
