Friday Photo Journal - May 29, 2015

Hi friends! So sorry for the late posting of this week's link up. The past few days have had me driving long treks to sessions. I came home last night exhausted, with SD cards to load and kids to put to bed.    Anyway, it has been a busy week and I worked most of last weekend, but we did manage to enjoy some fun over the holiday weekend. We headed to my mom's for a bbq and some swimming. The kids were brave enough to venture into the cold water and had a blast, but came out with blue lips.  I just dipped my toes in. The weather was gorgeous, but the water was just too chilly yet for me! I think I'll wait a couple of weeks for my first swim of the season. ;)  I did not take my camera to the pool so that I could just relax and enjoy my family. 

I did take the girls downtown on a scouting trip last week though and after a quick 30 minute trek, I came to the conclusion that I need to venture downtown to shoot more often! Today I'm sharing a few shots we took in the city.

How was your week?

Thank you so much for stopping in! Have a wonderful weekend!!

 I just love strawberry season! When I was a kid my mom used to take us out of school early one afternoon in May and take us strawberry picking. I ate my weight in berries and rode home with red fingers and stained lips. I looked forward to it every year! 

This week I ventured out with the kids to pick some berries at a local farm. It was tons of fun to get out of our ordinary routine and enjoy a little outdoor adventure. Though it was a hot, humid day, the kids loved visiting the farm animals and taking a hay ride. We brought home a bounty of beautiful ripe berries too - yum! We have since enjoyed smoothies, shortcake, ice cream topped with berries and my fave - sliced berries and cream. What's your favorite berry recipe?

How was your week?

Thank you for stopping in! Have a safe and fun-filled Memorial weekend!

Happy Friday all! What's been cookin' this week? I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. I was treated to a homemade breakfast, some lovely gifts, and a fantastic lunch with my sisters, nieces and nephew, brother-in-law, Mom and stepdad, and my own sweet family. It was such a treat to spend the afternoon together. I have no photos from the day as I wanted to just enjoy it as a mom and leave the camera at home. But here are my pics from the week:

Happy Friday all! I hope it's been a great week for you. I apologize for posting late. It seems someone hacked my google email account and I had some cleaning up to do. :/  (Why is the world so crazy? It seems we have to have our guard up at every turn - lately it's been a bit disheartening. I guess all we can do it protect our own and try not to let the negativity rule us. I always tell myself that when the world feels ugly it needs more love. Even when we feel we have none to give, that's the time to dig deep and love more.)  Ok, sorry, on to the photos! Here are a few from yesterday. My boy was in a mood and needed to do a little cooling off. I think sprinkler bokeh is my new favorite thing. Ha!

Again, I apologize for the delay in getting the linky up this week! I wish you all a wonderful Mother's Day weekend filled with love and hugs!! Here's a little Mother's Day tribute I created. Enjoy! XXOO
