She Makes Me Smile




Okay, I confess.  My profile pic, the one I use here, on Facebook, and Twitter is a little old.  Before you cast bloggers' shame upon me, let me plead my case.

*  When Bruna of Bees with Honey interviewed me, I searched for another pic that could be used.  Would you believe that in 2011, I only found one, only ONE other pic that would semi work?!  I'm almost always the one behind the lens.

*  I've gotten some nice compliments on this particular picture.  And when I told my friend Elise, what picture I cropped my head out of to use as my profile pic, she responded, "Oh! OF COURSE! People always look better when they're doing something that makes them HAPPY!!!"


And yes, holding my kidlets, my girl in this case, makes me happy! :>  I keep trying to come up with another, more current pic, but until I do, I'm using this one.  'Cause you know what??  Seeing my girl's wee fingers poking in the corner of the pic makes me smile.  And that's good enough for me.

    I know what you mean because I'm always the one behind the camera too!

    But this picture is lovely, you have a beautiful smile and I'm in total envy over your gorgeous, curly, long, long hair! Your kidlet is adorable and yeah, the little fingers in the corner really make the cropped photo very special!

    It is a great photo. I love the thought that we look our best when doing something we love (or with someone we love).

    It is a very nice photo and I know what you mean! I'm so thankful for my iPhone & the fact it has facetime - I never use the facetime but I can finally take pics of me & the kids :)

    I like the pic! Keep it! And, I totally agree; I have hardly any pictures of just me!

    It's a wonderful pic! And I'm usually the one behind the camera, too.

    I hate all pictures of just me, so I say if you are happy with this one just stick with it!

    You're sooooo FUNNY! {!} THIS is my allll time favorite, so I say why change it? But, if you have to - just grab the same "prop" and do another shoot! I'll bet you'll love the results all over again! xoxo!

    I'm the same way; hate pics of myself except when I'm with someone who makes me happy!

    It's a fabulous photo. And I love that your little one is in it with you! ;) I never noticed the tiny fingers before!
    Thanks for sharing such a sweet story!
    I totally can relate! I have almost ZERO photos of myself because I'm the one taking pictures! Sheesh!
    I'm gonna have to hand my camera to Dave more often!

    I think you look wonderful in that pic. If it's any consolation, my twitter profile pic was taken in 2007. I haven't changed that much, and I'm usually the one taking the pictures, not in them. So, if you have a picture of yourself that makes takes you back to the joyful moment it was taken - it doesn't matter how old it is. :)

    (Stopped over from Sunday Funday. Great post!)

    Finding a profile pic IS so hard! I made my 10 year old stand on a chair to take mine for me. Isn't that terrible??? My poor kids....accomplices in blogging :)

    I love that pic, and I love the reason for such happiness. Your wee one is adorable!
    Yeah, I too rarely have a picture of me alone that someone else has taken. I still use a profile pic I took of myself back in 2009!
