I didn't post an iPhone Photo Dump post last week, so this post has two weeks worth of photos!
We've been pretty busy here. We had family visit, had a construction crew working in our backyard, made a visit to the fire station, Cody helped move my brothers into their college housing, joined a local gym, and on top of all of that, Gunner is cutting his first tooth.
A quick note dealing with my Instagram account...I have decided to make it private. After seeing several different stories on the internet of IG photos being stolen, I felt it best to make my account private. As you know, my account is full of pictures of my son and while I love sharing pictures of my blog, I want to have some control over how they are shown. For example, I am able to put a watermark over the picture when it comes to my blog and I am also able to choose what is put out there. Sometimes I want to use Instagram filters on my pictures without everyone on Instagram being able to see them.
I just wanted to address this because since making it private, I've had some readers ask why I've done this. I know as someone who writes a blog, I put my life out there for people to read, but I strongly believe that I still maintain the right to have privacy. I will keep my IG name on my contact page and you are more than welcome to ask to be my friend...honestly, if I recognize you from the blogging world and know you aren't a total creeper, I'll accept you. I just want to know that I am filtering who can see my pictures.
Okay, now, onto the past two weeks through the lens of my iPhone...

i think it's smart that you made your instagram private. with so many creepers out there, it's so important to protect yourself and your children.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a super busy week!! He is just adorable and your new backyard is looking great!
ReplyDeleteMy IG is private too. I don't understand why people out there on the Internet would steal other people's photos and use them, but I know some people do. Weird. But either way, smart move, girl!
ReplyDeleteSmart move! My IG isn't private, but I may rethink. There are definitely some weirdoes out there: that's why I don't even use my real name!
ReplyDeletelove the pics! totally agree with making instagram private... let me tell you that when i first got it i had NO idea they were public... my hubs was in afghanistan for a year and per his request i sent him a pic that i took and edited and saved with my instagram of me in my bra (thank god it wasnt worse haha) then a week later i got a weirdo comment on one of my kids pics and had a freak out! I had NO NO NO NO NO idea that they went live so there was a pic of me floating around in my freaking bra lol needless to say i deleted that pic and set my account to private@ haha eesh!
