I was going through my photos and realized I never posted these. They’re from the beginning of June- just a random Summer’s day hanging out in the backyard as a family. Lots of laughter and silliness, some extra big smiles from miss Sophie, and running through the sprinklers for mister Sam. Nothing special, but they make me smile.
I think that’s kind of how life is, isn’t it? The moments that are seemingly “nothing special” end up being the most treasured and special ones, after all. I know I am so guilty of trying to create “perfect” moments, and when I fail (in my mind), I get easily frustrated and upset. I’m trying really really hard to change this about myself, and see the perfection in the imperfections. To see the loveliness in the everyday.
Sometimes it’s just nice to be. No pressure, no expectations. That’s what I’m striving for: contentedness, joy and happiness in just being.
It helps that I have these extra special people to “just be” with every single day of my life. Gosh, I’m a lucky one.

THAT BONNET!!!! omg so cute :)
I love these photos! And you are so right, it’s usually the moments that seem the most mundane that end up being the most memorable and the ones that we look back on and miss the most. It’s SO HARD to just slow down and just appreciate where we’re at right now. But I try to remind myself every so often to do exactly that.

This is so true! As moms we see how others are living and trying to create those perfect moments when the perfect moments are there we are just too distracted to see it. Great post mama????????????
These are so sweet! Cheers to the mundane and perfect moments.
Beautiful! There’s so much value and beauty in the average days of our lives that we don’t seem to realise until once we are looking back on it! This was a great reminder to enjoy the present. xx
YES amen to that! Glad you enjoyed :)
