Can it be a flashback if I never shared it to begin with?

The other night, I had just gotten back from taking Ty’s birthday photos and Jase and I were digging through my archives of the kids and comparing how tall Ty has gotten since we moved to Austin. We got lost in the folders together, smiling, remembering with lots of “no way! look how little they were!?”. And we stumbled across this one….

The day this was taken, I didn’t blog it. Instead I blogged this. I never shared it because I thought I looked tired. I WAS tired. Teagan was 6 weeks old. Taryn was 2.5 years old and […]

1. I feel like I’ve been living in a box tethered to my computer for the last month. This past weekend cured that. And I needed it more than even I realized. I’ve been chasing kids all day then logging on and working 12 hours. It’s catching up with me fast. Friday Jason’s parents came for a visit because they had a wedding to attend out on Lake Travis. It was perfect timing too because they were able to keep the kids Friday night while Jason and I went to see Conan O’Brien live in Austin. And while our seats suuuuuuucked, the show and Conan were ah-ma-zing. Seriously loved him, he was hilarious. My favorite part is that the […]

Be warned, this is a marathon post filled with snapshots, color casts, out of focus images and just everyday stuff. But it’s also filled with love, so I can overlook the rest, hope you can too.

Today was good. Today I put work down. I let the house go. I enjoyed the most simple of pleasures with my kids and….it was good. Really good. My husband was grouchy today (what is there to be grouchy about dude?). The kids were crazy. Excited. Wired. Fun. And even though the house got trashed, there are piles of wet clothes and sneakers and socks and mittens by the front door, the stack of dishes and crap piled up on the counters in the kitchen […]

I knew I wanted to make a collage of my iphone pics at the end of the year. thank you Michelle Nicoloff for this post, it totally inspired me 🙂

these moments would have been missed. gone before i grabbed my camera. too lazy to get up and go get it. little blurbs. little glimpses. of my people, my loves. these are the moments in my mind, even more so than the properly exposed and processed ones. imperfect, real. i got my iphone in july. i love it. i love that it forces me to accept the imperfections. i not only accept them, i embrace them. and i forgive myself for it. maybe that is why so many people are […]
