Photography – Why I Love Hiking To The Park

You are always guaranteed a few things.

There’s always a free spirit.
Or two.

There’s always a climb up high.

Toddlers always run free.

Sisters always have time to play.

You always get some independence.

You almost always do something new.

A toddler has things to do.
Grass to play in.

Rides to take.

When friends come to play!

All of these photo were taken by Alex, I loved… [Continue Reading]

My Bookie Faces

She doesn’t feel well so she makes this face.

She’s tired so she makes this face.

She feels silly so she makes this face.

My Brooklin makes many faces but none is sweeter than the way she looks at me.

Days like today are filled with faces, emotions and feelings we can’t always control. As a mother I can… [Continue Reading]
