"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week in 2014"the days are getting hotter, and beginning much earlier in the day. it's going to be a tough summer DJ, keeping you safe and cool. ...
my husband and i got married in april 2011 and went on our honeymoon to maui in november 2011. i'm so excited to finally be sharing the photo book i put together. i designed and printed the book through blurb, and the style is standard landscape. i had previously shared some photos from this trip here and here but if you're anything like me, seeing...
the last time i compiled a list like this it was still spring. we weren't yet dashing indoors to avoid the heat. we weren't rushing out the door at 7:30am to go to the park before the temperatures ramped up. we weren't thinking about how to entertain ourselves indoors all day. i wasn't showering twice a day; once in the morning and once...
i saw this quote on pinterest and immediately knew that it so perfectly described the week that i had gone through that i had to use it in my spread. ...
embarrassingly enough: i'm noticing more and more that i'm having imaginary conversations in my head. mostly, i'm speaking to people i wish i knew people i wish were in my life. the truth is: its lonely here in vegas i'm lonely here in vegas its been three plus years without my friends the girls who know me best, who have seen me at...
"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week in 2014"little things have been happening this week that make him seem impossibly big. don't grow too quickly, my dear dj. ...
"i'm going to go and take a shower" is never just about taking a shower. it's getting undressed and tossing your dirty clothes into the hamper, which is full, so you start a load of darks and discover that you forgot about the white load in the dryer last night. you toss that load onto the bed and hop into the shower. between...
week 22 encompasses two spreads, mostly because we had friends from Canada in town and I knew there would be a lot of photos. why was this week awesome? well for one: we bought dom's dream car! ...
"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week in 2014"as a testament to just how difficult this week was, i hadn't taken a single photo of dj on my camera all week. i snapped this photo just minutes before composing this post. i know that he won't remember this week, or any of these tough days, and i'm grateful for that....
if you ask me flat out I will always say that the summer is my favorite time of the year. but my god, it's too hot here already! my days are dictated not by how I feel and what I desire rather: whether I can last more than five minutes outside. and DJ, oh how he loves being outdoors! (how he cries when...
"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week in 2014"you're allowing us more and more glimpses into the young boy you will one day be. at moments like this i can't help but think that you're impossibly old already. ...
( photo credit ) i didn't grow up near the water, but i wasn't far from it either, though there was always somewhere or someone to visit that was. an aunt in kincardine, extended family with a cottage in the incredible muskoka's, family friends in southhampton, cousins in brights grove. when i was a child we had plenty of choices if the beach...
the perfect shade of nail polish for summer. offering everyone a drink when you get up to get one for yourself. saying please and thank you. random acts of kindness. sincerity and compassion. a hot cup of coffee first thing in the morning. a beautiful sunset. getting out of your home town, beach bound. freshly changed bed sheets. surprise coffee delivered from a...
i'm busy enjoying my best friend and her family being in town, so in lieu of my usual project life spread post, there's this :) it's been over five months since i first wrote about my 2014 project life approach, and i thought it might be a good idea to go over a few things since i did in fact make some changes...
"A portrait of my child, once a week, every week in 2014"there's something about seeing your best friends kid playing with your own (on your husband's back, nonetheless) that makes you feel so damn happy, and so grown up. "we're not in kansas anymore" they say. no we certainly aren't. so happy to have friends from back home in town for four days....
