What do you think? Should I change my masthead? Are these photos too in-your-face kissy or do you like them? Which one? PS We're working on a family photo of all three of us.
I actually like the current one better. That said, I think the pictures don't necessarily reflect the tone of the blog which has been more about parenting and being parented than race or mixed marriage or anything like that.
I agree, I like the current one..not that those other pics aren't fab, but the blog isn't focused, as a childhood friend once said, on mushy love. I actually think it would be cool see your whole family in a photo..even better when new baby Femme comes along.
@Anonymous, I think you might be right--the title and the pics do deliver a tone of mixed race and marriage. But this blog was always intended to be a little of that and a little of everything else, too (hence "All Mixed Up")--it was supposed to reflect our lives, my life, our lifestyle which is a great "mix"ture of things. But what other image of the two, three or four of us plus the title I've chosen WOULDN'T scream mixed race? I've no idea...I think our combined physicality just screams it to others (not us). In any case, I love your honesty/comment and do agree...I just don't see a way around it short of changing the title. Or perhaps I could more often post about our "mixed" experience?

The top one. I like the second one also but I feel like you'd need to darken your background to fit it in better?

I really like the current on the best. It's a great photo. I'd keep it until you have one of the three (or four?) of you.

I like the first one! Love black and white with a splash of color. :)
