Childhood, motherhood, outdoors, imagination, magical

“The other night, it was nearing dinner time (often what they call witching hour)…. Your dad had taken you out for “boys day” so, I could host a ladies-only baby shower at home. He had done a kickass job of parenting you by himself all day & needed a well-deserved break. You were starting to whine & I could see the emotion building up in you. Tried as I might, to figure out just what was bothering you or set you off, I couldn’t put my finger on it. So, I asked you to come outside with me?

“It’s crazy, life’s journey. I’m really feeling the positive effects of spring right now. This season around, is bringing big life changes as well and I couldn’t be happier to be taking a leap of faith and really pursue my passions. I started this little blog for fun, I said.
