most weeks, i meet you here on friday to share moments from my week; it’s an opportunity to reflect. most of my moments are sweet, yes. but i hope you notice that there are moments i gather and honor that are less sweet. i try to pepper my ::noticing the moments:: posts with those, and i am hoping you catch them…hoping you realize that my life isn’t all peaches and cream. my life is real; your life is real. know that i’m walking and running and laughing…and sometimes trudging…right alongside you.
today, i share a visual collection of this week’s moments.
before closing, i’d like to share a bit of juicy news with you. beginning this month, i am joining the lovely jennifer deville and barbara paulsen in a new, creative endeavor. we’ll be communing at makings of motherhood, “a new website featuring the photographs and perspectives of three mothers”. jennifer {the creator of this project} will be leading with the first post of the month, on february second. my post, and barbara’s, will follow later in the month. i am incredibly excited to be working with both of these beautiful souls, beautiful mamas, beautiful photographers. will you join us?
hoping your week was full of goodness…
sending a little love your way, m
