Hey guys! I thought it’d be fun to share some photos of what our days look like around here, to show what “life” is for us these days. Lots of sweetness. Lots of little giggles. Lots of pulled hair (that’s why I’m rocking the ponytail more often than not these days) and big ole’ cups of coffee. I’m remembering to really live in the moment- to enjoy our “now.” Because all too soon, this “now” and these sweet moments of our life will be gone and we will have moved on to a whole new chapter of life with new sweet moments, but none exactly like these are, right here and now.
I guess seeing all of the back to school posts from my mama friends is making me nostalgic for the present. Is that possible? I don’t know.
I just know that time moves way too quickly and I’m doing my best to hold on to my babies while they’re babies and to make the most of our lives, right now. To slow down and not rush things.
Lord knows Time does a good enough job of that, anyway.

p.s. Seeing these photos is really making me want to remember to take out my big girl camera more often. Sure, the iphone is just so quick and easy and convenient, but man do I love some DSLR magic!
Sam and Sophie are so CUTE!!!! and ps i love the blue top you are wearing!
Aww thanks girl!! :)

This is so beautiful! Cheers to enjoying the moment!
Aw thanks Chelsea girl!! :) Cheers to that!

Your family is so beautiful! I love the photo of Sophie in her bassinet. What blanket is that you have on the floor? Is it one of the Aiden and Anais four layered blankets?
Aww thank you so much!! :) The blanket is actually from bebe au lait: https://www.bebeaulait.com/for-baby/snuggle-blanket/premium-muslin/wildflower-halo.html#.V7U8e5grK00 – so soft!!

Precious photos! I use my DSLR to capture moments of my children. My cell camera is not very good, so I am always pulling out my Nikon. I try to take it with me wherever we go.
YES, me too now!! It’s definitely more of a task, but the photos you get from it are so worth it :)

yes yes yes savoring the now is so good and so important! and sometimes it’s so hard, too, right? but it’ll be gone so fast. which breaks my heart. and OH. can i just confess right now that everyones back to school pics are *stress city* to me?! there! i said it! totally freaks me out!
Haha YES the photos totally stress me out, too!!!! Eeek!

I came across your blog today and so glad I did :) Looks exciting and fun to follow.
By the way, I am one of the mom’s who has a kiddo starting school and I must say, YES. Enjoy the present now…
I’ve seriously been a mess this week thinking about my daughter starting school.
All of our Monday morning grocery store traditions change. Our coffee and bagel traditions change. Not to mention, instead of being with ME she will be at school. haha. Anyways, GREAT POST! Excited to follow along!
