I hate pictures of myself! In fact there isn’t many at all. This is because I don’t let my husband or other people take them if I can help it. I was looking at old pictures the other day and I felt sad when I realised there is not many of me, and even worst hardly any of the kids and I together.
So I have decided to take at least one self portrait of myself or me with my children once a week. It will be tough in the beginning to look at myself in photographs so often. Maybe I will grow to love myself more a little each week by doing this. I am also doing this for my children, so that they will have pictures of their mum to treasure one day when I am gone.

This is a great idea - good on you Kelly! My little person is just two and I am already falling behind on taking photos to document his childhood.
I was trying to find a picture of me recently for something, and there were hardly anything. This is such a good idea, can't have our children relying on their memories of what we look like! Looking forward to seeing what you snap!
Pleas Ignore the bad typing! lol! :) In a hurry.. ah... :) CIAO!
I seem to be the one always taking the photos! lol! So I'm often saying to people, "Can you please take a photo of us?" Ha, ha. There's only so many 'self taken' photos you can take, lol! I'm so glad that you've decided to build up some photos of yourself. My sistr went through a sage like that and 10 years on it's really annoying and sad to not be able to look at her from that time. Now she's not so vain and paranoid, lol! Tjhis coming from a blogger who has a sketch for a profile pic. lol! :)
I love this idea Kelly! I can never find any photos of me either (I think I must take them rather than be in them) and the ones I DO have I am in my PJs or something.
I am going to make a concerted effort to take some self-portraits with the kids. Will share if they turn out okay (my photos are not as accomplished as yours tho)
Thank you for all your comments guys, you’re awesome! I feel so special right now.
What a lovely idea! I think it's great, especially for everyone in your family to have. I may just have to copy you. :)
