dairy of a mama: joy

divider-new-1
 In this photographic series “diary of a mama” I want to simply share inspiration and captures from my days with my children. Honouring the sacred work of homemaking and child caring. You’ve all heard the saying, “a picture speaks a thousand words”. My intention is for these images to fill your soul with nourishment and a deep knowing that the work you do in your home + raising your children is sacred.

    You know, I forget to follow up on things too. Maybe that should be my intention for the year- finishing things 😉 the picture of the jam biscuits makes me feel like turning on the oven. Happy New Year x

    if it wasn't for the slow passing of time while 39 weeks pregnant, i couldn't agree more. this year has flown by. i think it is because life is good. makes it easier to speed by. your photos are beautiful, love those beach shots. happy new year. 2013 is full of goodness.
