take a look through my lens into the heart of my 365 project, here's looking at you, documenting the sometimes fanciful, once-in-a-while erratic, various collection of days that we are happy to call our blessed life.
1. remember this one? my blurry backgrounded, halo headed baby girl.
2. discovering what he can create... it's a daily affair that usually requires a good soap scrubbing - whether it's his hands or the couch, carpet, walls, etc. the life of a little boy can be summed up as unhindered joy or destruction, depending upon whose perspective you speak of. ; )
3. she's a particular sweetie pie not interested in sitting in the scratchy grass in her pretty dress.
4. i'm finally a real mom; putting ease in the forefront every now and then. i bought my kids their first box of breakfast-in-a-hurry-throw-nutrition-out-the-window pop-tarts.
5. because nothing says fresh like cottony clean towels.
6. learning to use a puddle jumper is serious summertime business.
7. one of my beloved recent days. meeting beautiful rachel of finding joy.
8. my time in california begins with a captured moment of sage with my sweet momma.
9. because sometimes i like old timey buildings and signs.
10. it's usually best to be in the moment and sweep up my sugar sack rather than just capturing memories. she thinks so too.
11. kindness pouring in... a floodgate of cards and "i'm sorry's" swooshed in to give my grandma lots of paper-like hugs in the midst of her grief.
12. a pleasant reminder of fall coming.
13. because flowers are always striking.
14. cousins were meant for playing.
15. tummy's are meant for tickling.
16. good food is meant for eating. especially when apricot chicken curry wrap is it's name.
17. vintage meets keepsake. (there's a story to share soon!)
18. my last morning in the golden state.
19. my first morning home. seeing this boy after 11 days without him was almost the best thing ever... second to seeing his daddy.
20. every shopper's delight. bringing home groceries from traders.
can't wait for the rest... i'm enjoying capturing a picture to remember a day.

These are just lovely!! Great shots!
I love these 365 projects. I've watched Hannah -- live intentional and be intentional -- as she searches for her shots. And so often, the pics that she gets captures our day perfectly.
Yours are the same. Beautiful snippets of your day and life.
I love, of course the Trader Joe's bag. I'm so glad that your sweet town decided they needed to get one of those. You will be blessed by it!
And that picture of Hunter on your first morning home brings tears to my momma's eyes. I remember how it was that first morning back from South Carolina -- I just sat in the chair and looked at those sweet little ones of mine.
And you know, you are too sweet about me.I can't believe that was already a bit over two weeks ago.
That apricot chicken curry wrap? Looks amazing.
Okay. I need to stop. I've just realized that if I try to comment on everyone of your fabulous pictures than my comment will be become as long as your post. Ha ha HA ha ha.
You have the most blessed and joyful day today. Hug those sweet kids.
Love ya.

Great shots! I love the vintage camera :)
as always your photos are amazing! lovely post!
Gorgeous photos!! I have really wanted to do a 365 project but keep saying I'll do it later. I think they are so fun to look at, I'll get there... someday! You are soo lucky to have a TJ I wish we had one. The closest one is a little over an hour away. During the winter we make the trip there more often than the summer. Enjoy yours!
Blessings

This post brought a smile to my sad heart this morning. You have such a way with your camera, capturing such precious moments of life. Love you!
They are all gorgeous, but I especially love #15!
Beautiful photos! I love the words and stories behind each of them...and really, who doesn't love a good 'ol vintage sign? :) ESPECIALLY love the one of my momma! :)
This posts stirred up all kinds of emotions for me. The joy of your photos of your children and the tenderness of the pile of notes from your friends are just a few.
I heart your pictures. Seriously. Every single one of them. You are nothing short of amazing!
I'm jealous of your Trader Joes! I don't think we'll ever get one in FL. I heard something about FL being too far from their distribution center(s) to warrant the cost of shipping. Blah!
I hope you have a fabulous week ahead, sweet friend!
I really enjoy 365 projects (I have one too). I particularly enjoyed seeing your photos as an essay. They really told the story of your life these past few weeks!
I absolutely love your photos and major props for keeping up with your 365!
Great photos!!!!
Your pictures always look so so pretty.. love them. :)
I love your pictures! I love trader joes so much. I included it in my post today and didn't notice you did too until now :)
I linked up today for the 1st time!

Your pictures are adorable. I actually am LOVING the mail one!
Love the pictures! They are so adorable. Just found your blog and this is my first time linking up! :)
I love these pictures!!! I would love to do this when I start having kids. They just grow so quickly and do so many precious things!
awesome awesome pictures!!!! Love them all!! :)
Great job! I fell apart in January on 365 -SIGH! If it is my boys, it is definitely "joyful destruction" :)
Love your photos!
oh girlie you are getting better and better. love the one of sage checking out her belly. that was my favorite. but they are all good!
These were so great. I love that people flooded your grandma with cards. Its nice to know people take a moment to send them, for her.
Trader Joes..smart girl stocking up before you headed home. ;)

And as always you give a such a beautiful description for your lovely pictures - and great reminders that we have much to be thankful for!!!
Beautiful!!! You, your babies, your photography....
Many Blessings!

Great photos! I love the one where your daughter is in the scratchy grass and the one where she is showing her belly. They remind me of my own daughter. I also have to say I'm pretty jealous you live by a Trader Joes.
Beautiful pictures! I love that vintage Pentax. My Grandpa recently gave me his old Minolta film camera. One of the only real "earthly" possessions he cherished. Sooo special to me!
what a great way to capture life! beautiful pictures.
Wow! What a link up list! You know I've come to look forward to this every week {thank you}. Your babies are simply stunningly beautiful (but I'm guessing you know that already ;) ) Looking forward to hearing about that camera...(and glad you're home too). Happy Week!
What sweet and tender moments that you have capture. My favorite is the cards because I simply adore mail. I have had to break down and do pop tarts as well, usually on the way to church.
I can tell you have a Canon but what kind is it exactly?? I LOVE your pictures!!! :)
So pretty! 365 of your pics, wahoo!!! As for pop tart processed nasty, I think that makes you a stereotypical Mom. Wouldn't a healthy granola bar work just as quickly??? ;)
You have such lovely pictures! I love that picture of Sage reaching her arms up for you. Your kids are so, so cute!
hello chicken curry. i think you just gave me a meal inspiration!
LOVE this post! May I have that recipe? Apricot Chicken Curry sounds like it would be a major hit with me but especially with my hubby! :) Pleeeease? lol
I love this 365 project. I may need to join the bandwagon! Looks like such a great way to document life, little and big :)
