Sing And Dance Without A Care In The World
It doesn't matter if you're good, bad, or really bad. Don't do it for anyone except for you. Sing off key and dance like nobody's watching. Sing in the car. Sing in the shower. Sing at the top of your lungs. Dance in the living room. Dance at a restaurant. Dance like you've never even heard music before...
The Honour Of Being Your Home
One of the most beautiful gifts I have ever been given is the honour of being your home. For nine months, I got to be your home. I got to be the place that you snuggled into and were safe. I got to protect you from all of the elements of life and cover you in every single way. I got to feel you grow…
The Powerful Way Children See The World
There is something powerful about the way children see the world. Sometimes if you lean into their perspective, you can feel their fearlessness, like the world is something to be explored, never to be afraid of. You can feel the energy of their bravery and their wonder, that they’re just hungry to know more…
You Are A Dream Come True
When I officially found out you were a boy, I already knew. I could tell by the way you moved in my belly just so, sometimes it was almost like you just jumped. In a way I cannot explain, it was like I already knew you. Like I had met you before, maybe in my dreams, maybe in heaven. Like I had already held you…
This Is What Children Can Teach You
There’s so much we can learn from children. Kids can be our biggest teachers if we have enough humility just to say yes. As much as we know all that we know through life experience, there are almost some things it would be good to unlearn. There are some things we know, that it would almost be better if…
Do You Know How Valuable You Are?
Before you arrived, we prayed for you. Before we saw you for the first time, we felt we already knew you closely. With every movement of your heart and every breath in your lungs, your life has value.
And it’s so funny because before you, we had everything we needed. Or we thought we did. But…
Simplicity And Wonder
You know how you have those moments where you suddenly start to think about what life was like as a kid. Maybe something pulls you back into that places like a smell or a song or maybe you see yourself in your own children and you remember…
Collecting Memories
Collecting Memories. There is this beautiful thing about memories in that we each have our own. That you and I could have very different memories about things that have happened and experiences we have known. Because memories are so filled with emotion…
Joyfully Living
You know that moment when you look at someone and instantly feel joy? It is almost like you can feel your heart swelling and melting and soaring all at once. You are captivated, you are in love, you are moved. Maybe for you, you’ve known that when you’ve looked at that elderly woman who always…
Everything About You
Everything about you is wonderful. You are perfectly made, perfectly framed, perfectly put together. The way your eyes gush with being captivated. The clasp of your little fingers around my own. The rising and falling of your chest as you breathe. The slight grin of your lips before the giggle we know…
Connection - Why It's So Important
I've decided it's really important for me to talk more about connection with you guys. If you're anything like me, you're struggling every day finding calm during life with kids. Trying to get them out the door on time in the morning without rushing, encouraging them to relax in the evening for stories, hugs and…
Why I Am Passionate About Photography
If you asked, I’m sure every photographer will tell you that they’re passionate about photography. I am sure they would describe to you the feeling of getting that amazing image that you know your client will freak out over as a huge rush and how it is incredibly satisfying as an artist. I completely agree with all…
