I have to ask a question to everyone one of my readers and it has to do with the term selfie. We have all pretty much seen how this term, which refers to a person taking a picture of themselves with or without other has been thrown around all over the web and the media. I for one am getting a little bit tired of hearing everyone say selfie this and selfie that. I mean they act like the idea of taking a self-picture was just invented. Seriously I have been do self-pics since before there were cell phones. Using my good old 35mm camera I would hold up the camera backwards and shoot away. The fun thing about it was that I never new what the pictures would look like until I developed the film.
Nowadays with front and back facing cameras taking a selfie is much easier but it loses that surprise appeal. In terms of selfies you see allot of pictures of one person or a group of people together. What I have noticed is that you don’t see many self-pictures with Moms and their children. You see plenty of pictures of kids being kids but usually they are not self-pics with their Moms or Dads. I say if your going to do a selfie than you might as well do one with your kids. Get in on the action and make it something to experiment with your children.
I love this “Selfie” of myself with my 2 year old 🙂

It encourages moms to step in front of the camera and to take pictures of themselves with their kids, in the middle of those everyday moments that seem to fly by.
