09 Jun My Perfectly Imperfect Best Shot Monday
I thought about sharing this shot of my girlies from last week for my best shot but since today is the kick off the fantastic blog series The Gift of Imperfect Parenting at beautiful Brene Brown’s blog Ordinary Courage, I figured the much more appropriate photo to share was this one.
Today I’m feeling courageous enough to show you my real life at it’s craziest, it’s most absurd and with all it’s flaws. And you know what? I’ll bet you’re cool with that, aren’t you? See. I knew I liked you.
As I said in you last post, I encourage you to tune in to what Brene has to share in regards to ‘raising our children with courage, compassion and connection’. It’s a message you don’t want to miss. Be sure to pop over to her series and snap up the CD ASAP. You’ll be really glad you did.
So…on that note, would you like to share your perfect pictures (or the perfectly imperfect ones if you dare) on this fine yet flawed Monday?

Posted at 07:37h, 09 JuneThat is a perfectly perfect shot! My girls have started asking after a few “nice” shots if they could do funny ones now…so I have lots of the imperfects!

Posted at 12:29h, 09 JuneThose are the type of pictures that make a mother smile, the memories you want to hold close!Much better than a “perfect” shot.

Posted at 19:27h, 09 JuneMaybe I got a bit too serious on my post with my discussion of imperfections as a parent…you can not know the worries I have had about what I might do to my daughter’s life because I was an imperfect mother! I so love the idea of this being a gift; I can not wait to tune in. Thank you for sharing what I know will be treasured by so many. Also, LOVE your silly shot…it’s honest and rings true to who your girls really are.
