Motherhood - have you captured it?

 I once heard of a tradition that this woman would take a picture of herself with her children every year around Mother's day. Isn't that great? She has at least 1 great shot of her and her kids every year. What a fun way to look back on how everyone looked, dressed, hairdos, etc. (tee hee hee) You know what I am talking about.

In honor of Mother's day coming up in May, the theme for my I AM MORE photo blog is Motherhood! Share your Motherhood moments and/or what Motherhood looks like today. You could be all poised and perfect like June Clever or show us how it is - real life style! just capture this moment.

OR - share you and your mother. Maybe it's a past photo of when you were young, maybe it's current photo showing you are still her little girl but now all grown up. 

I'd love to feature your "Motherhood' photos this month. Pop over to the I AM more blog to submit! :)
