That picture represents so much more..

I was out in the lake when my teen said “ smile” and snapped a picture of me. 

I saw it and started to pick myself apart.

It looks like a "before" pic of a weight loss transformation.. its not!

Pale.
Overweight.
Cellulite.
Stretch marks.

But here's the thing.. That picture represents so much more than that!

My teen picked up his phone and thought to take my picture.

I LOVE that he did that!

I love that I was in the water with my other kids when he snapped it.

I wasn't on the sidelines missing out because I'm over weight with cellulite.

I love that this is the mom he sees.

A mom that is participating.
A mom who is enjoying her family.
A mom who embraces all her physical flaws and doesn't let them hold her back from making memories with her family.

Let's be moms who join in and make memories!

They will not remember how you look, but the love and joy you bought to them during those moments!
