Hello Friends! Sorry I missed sharing my post with you last week, but I am back in full swing this week. I've really been trying to challenge myself a bit on how I create my photos. Sometimes there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to get it all in, but I am pushing through. For those of you that messaged me or spoke to me saying how much you missed seeing my weekly post, you have no idea how much that meant to me. Sometimes I wonder if anyone reads these posts or really cares about our little ordinary world. So to get that feedback was wonderful. So here are some photos from our week.
211/365: I was home
Today I was home from work, still working most of the day, but I was home. Our day care provider was off this week so between family, Mat and myself, we stayed with the littles. It was nice to be home and enjoy them, even if it was just hanging out here listening to them chatter and play while I was working. I got to capture a bit of our day, so here are a few of my favorites.
We got a quick, but heavy storm. Shawn was awesome and ran out in to the rain, and I grabbed a quick shot as he was coming in. I even got a little smile. :) After the rain the sun came out and Mariah had a blast playing in the puddles.
212/365: I Am Enough...
Do you ever ask yourself that question? Am I Enough? Am I pleasing my husband, my family, my team at work, my art, and most of all myself? Sometimes it seems like the pressures of life build up and we lose all confidence and faith in ourselves. We get insecure, we compare ourselves to others, we ultimately end up tearing ourselves down more than the others on the outside do because we are so hard on ourselves. So today I told myself that Yes, I Am Enough... I have goals and so many things I want to learn and improve in several areas of my life. Am I perfect? Definitely not, but I am growing, taking things one step at a time, and I am ok with that. So to all of you who may ask yourself this same question, Yes, You Are Enough too! <3
213/365: Messick's
Today Mariah and I ran up to our favorite farmers market. It's such a cool place. It was nice to have a short bit of time for just the two of us. We pet goats, played on the slides, jumped on the big air trampoline and then picked sunflowers together. Here is a shot of a bee on one of the flowers that I captured.
214/365: Taking a risk
Well I had a vision of a photo that I wanted to capture. Sometimes I wish I could capture images of myself without having to ask someone to press the shutter. People think it's as easy as just pressing a button, but so much more goes in to capturing the image you have created in your mind. You also see yourself in a different way sometimes, which doesn't help. So I am back to this confidence thing and really nervous to share this image. I'm sure some will not like it, but that is ok. It didn't turn out technically the way I fully wanted or intended, but it's me. A big thank you to my hubby for being supportive in my journey and trying to help the best he can.
215/365: Last Bit of Evening
Tonight we got home late from work and counseling. I had forgotten my camera, so we raced home and ran out to get a shot before the sun was down. The moon was starting to come out and the clouds were scattered beautifully across the sky. You laid in the grass so that you could get a better view. Then we found a mushroom in the side of the yard that you wanted to share.
217/365: Beautiful Light and Sunflowers
Tonight while we were eating dinner, you saw your favorite pocket of line that shines on the wall. You love that you can see your shadow in the light and I may or may not have encouraged your excitement over this spot each time you see it. I can't help it, I love seeing this little pocket of evening light myself. You are all about some Teen Titans right now. You were so excited to get this Robin mask over the weekend. So while you were playing in the light I snapped a few shots.
When we went to Messick's farm market on Saturday we picked sunflowers together. We have done this the last 3 years together. We didn't really take too many photos while we were there because it was so hot and really bright out. So we decided to take a few tonight before the flowers started to die too much. These are two of my favorites.
218/365: Last light with my Teenager
Tonight we almost missed the sunset, but we got out just in time, and I got to get outside with Shawn. Two photos is 1 week... This is rare! I love this kid. I never knew what love truly was until he came in to my life. He is everything I ever dreamed he would be, when he was just a little newborn. He is smart, funny, and I love how in to music he is right now.
Next up is the super talented Colleen Putnam from NYC. I always love seeing her week in photos. Click here to check out her post.
Thanks for following along this week. Until next time! xo
