Friday Photo Journal - Week 14

Hello my friends! I am so glad you have stopped by. I hope you have enjoyed a week full of blessings. At our house, at the prompting of my 7 year old, we have recently started a new dinner time tradition where we each give our high and low for the day. It is a fun way to connect with the kids over life's ups and downs, and it really helps us count our blessings. 

So, out of curiosity, what was your high/low for the week?

My high was working on some personal photography projects that really have me pushing myself creatively. I feel alive and connected when I can indulge that part of myself. Oh yes, and my uber-awesome husband generously purchased a beautiful new lens and some lighting gear for me. More on that soon!  My low was worrying over life's business matters like insurance, taxes, etc.

 I'm looking forward to seeing your posts and hearing about your week. Link 'em up!

Little Things Thursday

It's the little moments throughout the day, that make our lives so rich.

"As we become curators of our own contentment on the Simple Abundance path... we learn to savor the small with a grateful heart." - Sarah Ban Breathnach

"The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions -- the little soon forgotten charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment, and the countless infinitesimal of pleasurable and genial feeling." Samuel Taylor Coleridge

P52 - Week 12

Hi friends!  I spent some time over the weekend shooting my sweet soon-to-be eight year old. I am thankful to have a willing model. We had icky weather for most of the weekend, even a little snow, but we snuck out in between the drops and flakes. I hope spring makes a return very soon!

How was your weekend?

Friday Photo Journal - Week 13

Happy Friday!  We've been busy. Here's a peek at our past week:

We enjoyed a little sunshine after the rain. 

Little Miss is my sunshine every morning. 

We had green pancakes for St. Paddy's day.

The kids created a fun obstacle course in our homeschool PE class. 

We spent some time at the park.

And swinging in the back yard.

Captured some green clovers.

Little Miss "helped" with the laundry. 

And I have been loving that late afternoon golden spring light!

WW- Tulip Trees

Greetings friends! Today I'm sharing one of the early bloomers are here. I love the tulip trees in spring. In our yard we have dogwoods that are still bare. Fortunately, many of our neighbors have these lovely tulips in bloom with their soft cups of color.

P52 - Week 11

Greetings my friends and happy Monday! I hope you had a relaxing weekend and enjoyed your St. Patrick's Day. We didn't do much to celebrate, other than eating some green pancakes. The weather was cold and dreary and we were worn out from a full day of soccer on Saturday. I also spent much of the weekend watching CreativeLive's workshop with Roberto Valenzuela. It was packed full of info! I really learned a ton about scouting locations, posing, lighting, marketing and more. I'm excited to put it into practice.

Friday Photo Journal - Week 11

Hello sweet peeps! Is it Friday already?!  Whew, it's been a busy week. I hope this weekend brings a little time to unwind. We'll be hitting the soccer fields again and probably eating some green cookies and Irish Soda Bread. What's on your agenda?

Here's my recap of the week:

I love seeing the buds begin to pop. I have to photograph them. Spring is so full of wonder and beauty! I am especially loving the way the light is changing in the afternoons,

so golden and warm, it is just beautiful! Now I just need more time to shoot.

My Little Man is becoming quite the musician and really wants the wardrobe to match. 

I love him in his new hat, which he wears nearly every day.

Lots of fun with Little Miss this week, escaping to the deck in the early morning, sporting her chucks, jumping outside, playing piano and snuggling with Dad.

How was your week?

Little Things - My Little Musician

This little guy just might be a musician. He started taking drum lessons a little over a month ago and is picking up very quickly. He has also shown an interest in guitar and piano. Here he is playing piano at Nana's house last Sunday. I love that he loves music! We don't want to push him too much, since he is only 5, but I hope he will stick with it.

What did you love to learn as a kid, or what do your kids love to do?

Wordless Wednesday

Hello friends! I have been up to my eyeballs in marketing work and spring cleaning, so I have had no time for editing. This quick post of Little Miss will have to do for today. Hopefully I can catch up soon! I still have a mountain of laundry and grocery shopping to handle, but I will be visiting you all later this evening :) Happy Wednesday! Thanks for stopping in!
