Its 1.06 billion monthly active users can't be wrong: Facebook is really, really good at a lot of things. When it comes to staying connected, forging new relationships, and sharing information, there's a reason Facebook is the most used social network in the world. Unfortunately, when it comes to policing user-submitted photos, Facebook just can't quite seem to get it right.

Well, okay, in terms of sheer numbers we probably have to assume Facebook gets it right more than they get it wrong. But most Facebook photo controversies have a way of making headlines, and the company has come under fire for all sorts of photo-blocking decisions (including, hilariously, this image of a woman's elbows). The most recent kerfuffle came when Facebook deleted the images posted by breastfeeding advocate Kristy Kemp, then blocked her from the site -- but based on their subsequent response, it appears the social media giant may be getting more sensitive to the public accusations of censorship.

Facebook recently announced something called Facebook Home, a program for Android phones that puts your social feed front and center on your device. What does that mean? Well, you can send Facebook messages, read Facebook feeds, and look at Facebook photos. In short, it turns your phone into a Facebook phone.

As Jan on The Brady Bunch might have said in exasperation if the show were on today: "Facebook, Facebook, Facebook!"

Here's what Home will mean to you. 

A writer for The Daily Mail recently wrote an article about how she thinks that someday her lovely daughters will regret their digital archive of "selfie" photographs. You know what I'm talking about, people: Selfies. Pictures we take of ourselves with our cellphones. Pictures where the camera is typically positioned above our heads in a downward-facing position, as to get the most flattering shot. Pictures 900 celebrities take of themselves and post to Twitter every day. Pictures ... some people post to Facebook.

Of course you want the photos on your Facebook page to be pictures where you look good (duh), but sometimes a selfie can be a bit tacky -- for instance if you're in a bathroom stall.

They say pictures are worth a thousand words, and I do believe that's true. But I also believe some pictures just shouldn't make their way to Facebook -- unless you luuuurve yourself so much. A healthy self-esteem is important, but there is a fine line, people. And these 5 pics cross that line!

Oh Pinterest! I'm addicted to you and all your pretty pictures. Your recipes, your crafts, your hot Ryan Gosling photos. 

But lately, you've been really annoying me and I'm falling out of love at a rapid pace.

And yes, I realize that it's not really your fault but rather all the Pinterest users who feel the need to pin ridiculous crap.

So if you're on Pinterest like me, listen up, and stop ticking off your followers.

If you're like every other mom on the planet, then you just can't resist taking photo after photo of your baby to document every single precious moment of their lives.

From their big entrance into the world to their first smiles, tastes of solid foods, family holiday gatherings, and birthdays -- it's so important to capture all of the special times we have during our babies' first year on film.

And while all baby photos are sweet and adorable any way you look at them, there are some really cool camera effects you can use to make your pictures even more spectacular.

In 2008, when my second son was a baby, I took a seriously goofy photo of the two of us. I'd intended to try and get us both reflected in my bedroom mirror, but as soon as I got out the camera, he started lunging for the camera strap and I ended up with this ridiculous shot where half the photo is obscured by a blurry closeup of his intent little face.

I posted it on my blog as a joke -- look how many wonderful, flattering photos I have of me with my boys! -- and then I pretty much forgot about it.

Until I started seeing the incoming links. And then the comments:

In the wake of the massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School, semi-automatic weapon sales have skyrocketed, specifically for AR-15 rifles, the same gun that shooter Adam Lanza used to murder 20 children and six adults on that horrifying day. Gun shops can't seem to stay stocked, and there are even reports of long wait lists for the military rifles. In an even sicker twist, a lot of those weapons seem to have been given as Christmas gifts, and the recipients have been posting photos of themselves, posing with their new assault weapons. And a lot of them are women. Women. Holding assault rifles. WTF?

Why anyone needs weapons like this who isn't, you know, stationed in Afghanistan, is beyond me. But also, who gives someone else an assault weapon for Christmas???

Have you seen this fun photography project from Hungarian artist Flóra Bors?  She created a series of images showing how Photoshop could work in real life, from getting rid of a blemish on her cheek via the Patch tool to smearing her lipstick with the Smudge feature.

I love the idea behind those photos, but I thought I'd try and take this concept to the wildly unglamorous life of motherhood. What would you do, if you could use any existing Photoshop tools to edit your day-to-day life?

Here's what I came up with:
