"I am not perfect to look at and I am not perfect to love, but I am perfectly their mother."

The Mom Stays in the Picture - When Allison Tate wrote about how "Too much of a mama's life goes undocumented and unseen... I'm everywhere in their young lives, and yet I have very few pictures of me with them", it resonated with many other women. "To read through the notes that came with the thousand-plus photos (and yes, we have read every single one) was to read the minds of today's mothers. Over and over you told us that you don't look the way you want to look, don't look the way you once did. Even when joining a movement created around the motto 'I am not perfect to look at and I am not perfect to love, but I am perfectly their mother,' you felt the need to apologize." (via middleclasstool's other half)

Note to self: invest in a deadbolt.

When Brandon left for camp, his last words were, "stay out of my room!" Unfortunately for Brandon, he has the ~~meanest~~ most awesome family in the entire world. Of course, they posted the entire thing on facebook. Here are some of the things they got up to while he was gone: Dancing in lederhosen! Christmas! With a puppy! Epic lightsaber battles! Classic Peanuts characters! PacMan! William Tell reenactments! Girls have cooties, LOL! Pie-eating contests! Pillow forts! Open mic night! Senior shenanigans! Dog grooming! Dwight Schrute stopped by! The 2011 Oscars! Drive-thru window! Thank goodness they upgraded from McDonalds! Some guy with a plane! This totally happened!

Everyone has been in bad family photos, but sometimes a photo goes beyond bad and becomes awkward.
