My Monthly Mummy Melfie

This is 2nd, excruciatingly painful Monthly, Monday Melfie (mummy selfie to anyone who hasn't read my last Melfie post. ) This is the green light for all those mums who spend their life behind the lens, to post at least one photo of themselves with their children, organised by the lovely Californian Mum in London blog.

I had some amazingly comments on my last one, which has inspired me to go for it again, I know that one day I'll look back and be thankful I did! 

For anyone else who wants to join in but haven't perfected the perfect Melfie / Selfie, I'd recommend popping over to tots 100 where there's a brilliant how to take a good selfie post. 

Remember a melfie's for life, not just for Facebook! 

Anyway, less of the chit chat and more of the photos. 

With love from lovely Devon

Monday Melfie!

I HATE HATE HATE having my photo taken.

I know I have a wonky front tooth, too many freckles and wrinkles that remind me that 40 is just around the corner, waiting to whisk me away from my fabulous thirties.

I just don't want to see them.

I squint in the mirror to blur out the lines, I  try to smile with pursed lips to hide the wonky tooth, I cover my freckles that should have left with my teens.
I pretend and convince myself that they aren't really there. 

Then I see a photo and it all comes back, the camera never lies. 

So that's why I live my life behind the lens, where my focus is on the beautiful things in my life. 

Yet I know that one day, when I look back on my blog, I'll feel sad that I'm just words and no face  and the wonky tooth, wrinkles and freckles won't haunt me so much. 

So here for my boys is a Melfie of Mum

 Smiling (and cooking) and just being mum! 

With love from lovely Devon
