in love with her dirty little feet.. the way they’ve changed from sweet baby feet into stinky toddler toes. the way her toes curl around your nose, and her nose scrunches up- sniffling for you to smell, giggling wildly.

in this sweet spring ‘heat’.. her curls are dripping, soaking wet with sweat.. she runs around without clothes on. the poor dear, it’s only just 60 degrees..
she is definitely an irish babe. i can only imagine what this summer will be like, in the heat of oklahoma and our sweet venture to the desert of arizona.

the windows open, and dough rising in the sun

planting garlic bulbs that had already sprouted

hoping i can get this sweet potato to sprout some roots.. waiting. waiting. eagerly checking

the sound of lawns being mowed and scent of grass filling the air

buzzing bumblebees lazily dance in and out of the open window

a pencil lost, but always found tucked behind my ear or in my hair..

treasures collected, reminders of these sweet memories

sweet lazy dripping honey days.

a little piece of earth

{this moment}

{this moment}


feeling the weight of her body curled up in my lap
her soft belly against mine
her legs stretch up- toes pressed to my lips. a little game, and cheeky grin spread across her face- eyes lit up

her little fingers find the soft of my inner arm and begin their rhythmic pinching… like a cat kneading it’s mama’s belly…

savouring these moments.

{this moment} taking you with me

day in the life

i’ve been wanting to do a ‘day in the life’ series again. i did it once before– and of course i can’t find it.. the lovely tiffany reminded me, and it’s been on my mind ever since.
a series where you take snapshots throughout the day as it unfolds.  at first i was going to write about what we did to go along with the pictures, but… now that i think about it. i think it’d be best told with just pictures.
( i forgot to bring my camera along when we popped out to the grocery )  *next time i do this i think i will set a timer every hour and just snap a picture of whatever is happening right then

here goes..

right now, i am…

:: listening to the rain dance against the windows.. the wind whip through and banging the closed doors

:: embracing the silence after the muse has left

:: enjoying discovering the music in listening

:: marvelling at this body that once fit within my own…

:: loving the cool breeze of a spring storm.

:: feeling the need to curl up on the couch with a book, and perhaps make a comfort soup… and cookies.

:: watching ravens perch on the gutters near the window.

right now, i am…

:: listening to my baby snore in her sleep… delightful

:: embracing the ebb and flow

:: enjoying this moment. chocolate buttons. this bottle of water. and my baby’s sweaty sleepy head.

:: marvelling at spring. blossoms. flowers. in bloom.

:: loving little kids who ask about tragedies happening in the world- and want to DO something to help..

:: feeling inspired and uninspired. ready and not ready.

:: watching the grey sky roll by.. waiting for the sun to shine, to take pictures of the wee girl in daffodils.
