The lovely Mary from The Mommyologist is hosting Embracing Your Body Week in honor of her Mom Sexy Movement.
My first thought when I saw this was, “There is no way I can do this!” I have to admit I always focus on the negative; my butt is too jiggly, my boobs are too small, my nose is too big, I wish I had nicer arms….the list goes on and on.
So over the weekend I came up with an idea. I am going to put a spin on it and focus on ALL of my body parts and what I LOVE about each of them.
I am taking a stab at the Vlog thing again. I warn you I talk fast in the video….mostly out of fear my boys will bust in on me and start taking over.
My hubby walked in and started to watch the video. When it was done I said, “What do you think?” and his response, “I guess it was good….I don’t get it.”
Of course he doesn’t get it!
Men don’t have a care in the world. If their stomachs get big or their hair starts to fall out, most just shrug their shoulders and go on like it is no big deal.
I am trying to be more like that. So here is my first attempt to accepting myself for who I am and embracing all of my imperfections.

This was SO fabulous, Tina!! I loved it!! You look amazing and are so adorable…and yes, you have a great butt!
You are awesome at vlogging…keep it up!!
ps- I really needed to see your post and have a laugh…it’s been one of those days. Thanks girl!
I really want to meet you in person and it’s mainly because I want to hear your accent face to face! It’s adorable!
I love that you’re embracing what you have because you truly are blessed! Your tummy and butt (and boobs, regardless of what you think!) look amazing for being a mom of two!
You are just so cute!! And you do have a great butt! Very badonkadonk. No Mom jeans for you!!
I just realized who you sound like! Don’t take this the wrong way, but have you seen the last Rocky movie (Rocky Balboa)? You sound like “Little Marie.” I love it!!
Tina, I love it!
I think you have great everything!
Big boobs aren’t the end all be all, I have them and I HATE them. LOL

I love this post, but what i loved most was hearing your husbands response. Makes me feel good when mine “doesn’t get it” either. He doesn’t understand any of this blogging stuff I do. LOL
Thanks for sharing…going to watch the VID now, maybe it’ll make me need to leave another comment.
Fabulous vlog!! This is such a brave thing to do. I don’t know if I’ll be able to be couragous enough to join in, but I’m all over being supportive of everyone who does! P. S. I’m totally jealous of your butt!

Your boobs dont look small!
Nice video, very brave. You are beautiful! 
Brave girl! Just the sentence “Embracing Your Body” gives me the heebie-jeebies. I’d rather embrace the body I had three kids and five years ago …
LOVE the vlog!! You seem so comfortable in front of the camera. The one time I tried videotaping myself, it sounded like I had a terrible lisp.
“Embrace you body” week. Wow, I should really do this just to see what’s good in me.
Great vlog.
That was fantastic!!!

And now I’ll have to think of what I can post…to embrace my sexy MOM me.

You did great. And, my husband doesn’t get it , either. How could they? They don’t have the babies.
This was heartfelt. Thank you. Can’t wait to link up later in the week. I’m with you, “how can I do this?”s
LOVED this! I like how you went through your whole body and found a positive with everything!!! I just did my 1st vlog last night!!

How fun! You’re adorable. Your booty gets an A+. More importantly, having confidence and loving yourself…that is the most attractive thing in the world.
this is such a great idea
and I think you look amazing 
.-= brittney´s last blog ..eight questions eight bloggers =-.
Watched the vlog, and I have to say, you do not have a “great mom butt.” What you do have is one great ass! Mom butt someone takes away from the fact that it’s terrific!
I love my blue eyes, too.
Nice vlog mama! I think I need to get on the vlogging train – you girls make it look so fun!
