We were at the park the other day, Dawson was runn We were at the park the other day, Dawson was running around and so was she. Then she stopped and looked at each boy there. When she finally found Dawson she ran to him, arms open, and gave him the biggest hug. They might fight like other siblings, but this is what I choose to remember. How much she looks up to him and how willing he is to teach her. 

Spending time outside and among nature has significant and wide-ranging health benefits.
When the outdoors beckons, heed that call.

Happy 18 months, Laurelle! Over on @hellostorytel Happy 18 months, Laurelle!

Over on @hellostoryteller talking about childhood today! Share your childhood images to #hs_childhood

How has she been Earth side for a year and a half? Guys. I remember when Dawson was this age and longing for another one only to find out I'm pregnant with her. I'm not there this time around, another child can wait...for now! I realized the other day that I praise Dawson a lot and I felt like I don't praise her. She's a lot different from Dawson. With him it was so easy to find a groove with motherhood, I felt amazing. And then this sassy pants came along and I have been fighting so hard to find a groove that works for her. Because what worked for Dawson definitely doesn't work for her. Now that she's a little older and understanding more things, I'm slowly starting to get what she needs from me. I might not be able to fully explain it just yet, but we're getting there.

My sweet girl is sassy, stubborn, and does what she wants (oh boy have I heard the same thing except it was someone describing me as a child!). She is funny and she knows it. She loves to laugh and make other people laugh. She loves to be in on the joke. She loves clothes and loves to pick out her outfits! She also loves shoes. I think her favorite color is pink right now because she always chooses it. She loves hard, guys. She's sweet and loves to give hugs when someone is sad. She loves to snuggle. She loves her family. And especially loves Dawson. She's going to do amazing things, I can feel it. I am so thankful I'm her mother.

Can't believe in 6 short months my baby will be 2. 😭

When we went to see the lanterns (see 2 posts back When we went to see the lanterns (see 2 posts back), it was at our local zoo! The zoo usually closes at 4, so I don't typically get sunset shots of animals. Well. For the lanterns, we got there right as the sun was setting and I had so much fun capture the zoo in New light. This guy was my favorite. He was posing for me, like seriously. And I couldn't help but capture him with that reflection and beautiful light (this is one of my favorite lights, golden hour light thats direct). My younger sister loves giraffes so this ones for you AJ! 🥰

The topic that won yesterday was How to photograph childhood, so on the live I will cover this topic. This will be over at Hello Storyteller @hellostoryteller . I'm awful at planning, but let's say 2pm EST. Haha! Bring questions, can't wait to talk about this!

This is the face he gives me when I told him I lov This is the face he gives me when I told him I loved him. The face of a boy who will do wonderful things in his life. The face of a sensitive and sweet soul. When I look at him, my mama heart explodes with love.

I'll be taking over Hello Storytellers IG on Thursday. Tell me what you'd like to hear:
-Talk about IG engagement and how to get the best out of this app
-Talk about finding the light in your home
-Talk about my hubs @simplymothers and @simplyfathers
-Talk about capturing childhood

Or if there is another topic you'd love to hear from me, let me know below. I'm wanting to do a LIVE (😱 I am such a goofball you all will probably unfollow me LOL) to answer questions and talk about one of these topics.

Ooh I'm excited! 

"All the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow." - Leo Tolstoy
