So mom I just flew across the country and you want me to pose? Nope.
So everyone already knows that, really, but Instagram and Facebook feeds suggest the opposite. And research has shown that it makes people feel bad about themselves. And I’m totally guilty… I like posting happy photos of me and my family. Those are the memories I want to keep, and I figure no one wants to see my toddler throwing a tantrum.
Nevertheless, I’m excited to be participating in the Seleni Institute’s #HolidayCardCut, an effort to show the real moments in life: the one’s that won’t be featured on your holiday card, like the one you see here. I really wanted to get a photo with Frida with his headboard as a backdrop because it was my Nana’s bed and I love it. But as you can see she was having none of it.
See below for a bonus #HolidayCardCut pic. Nope, life isn’t even close to perfect. But it’s still pretty awesome.
That’s a pretty dress your wearing, crying baby!
