Picture This

Need a few minutes to catch your breath or to fold that last pile of clean laundry?

Here’s what you do: Arm your preschooler with a digital camera and a “drooly,” one-toothed wonder as a photo subject. Not only will you likely have several uninterrupted minutes to do whatever needs to be done, but you may even end up with a collection of delightful snapshots of a happy baby who knows how to work camera for her photographer/doting big sister.

    LoL! I just was clicking through the Catholic Mothers Online as my baby girl sleeps in my arms (the only way lately.. hee hee) and this made me laugh. Great idea.. my 2.5 year old knows how to take pictures too. Hubby got him a pretend camera, but you know, it’s just not the same. =)

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
