Real Momma...Real Smile

Hubs and I got all gussied up and went out to celebrate our ten year anniversary. I liked what I was wearing, so of course, we took some pictures.

This is why I love these link-ups:  they challenge me.  I would never have thought to pair this combo, but I think it works!  It's like getting a new outfit but with clothes you already have.  What do y'all think of the scarf?

Thank you Matt for photographing me!

Here is the piece de resistance...

My boy and I; smiling like no tomorrow. The smile I have on my face is REAL. It is showing the kind of happiness that bubbles up down from your tummy, through your throat and out your mouth in the form of a real smile, they type that give you laugh lines.

I used to hate taking pictures of just myself; pre-mamahood I never would have participated in something like Real Momma, Real Style or WIWW. I didn't like how I looked. Now having lived through miracle of child birth and raising this child, I feel more beautiful than I ever have and I truly believe it shows.  I mean, look at that baby.  I grew him inside me.  He's half me.  If that's not something to feel great about, I don't know what is.

Daddy got in on the fun, too.
