Mommy blogger Courtney Adamo's Instagram troubles have been making headlines since the weekend, after the admins over at the popular photo app deleted her account — and several years' worth of family photos in the process. Their reason? She had violated the community guidelines and posted "inappropriate" photos containing nudity.

But she couldn't understand why. After re-reading Instagram's guidelines online and reviewing the photo, she was adamant that she had not actually violated the rules to begin with.
Her next move? To repost the photo.
Needless to say, that was the last straw for Instagram, who then deleted her account all together. As she wrote on Babyccino, she was heartbroken to learn that four years of family photos and memories were gone, just like that.
Luckily for Adamo, her story quickly made the rounds, thanks to Twitter, and by June 23, BuzzFeed reports that her Instagram account was restored.
They had made a mistake, they said, and were not above admitting that:
"We try hard to find a good balance between allowing people to express themselves and having policies to create and protect young children. This is one reason why our guidelines put limitations on nudity, but we recognize that we don't always get it right. In this case, we made a mistake and have since restored the account."
Adamo is, of course, thrilled to be back on Instagram. By the looks of things, she's posting away and glad to put the matter behind her.
At least there's a somewhat happy ending to this, after all.
