slow living

taking some time to enjoy my girl and trying not to miss any of these sweet moments.







i've been pouring over this and working on a birthday doll. reading stories, cleaning gross things (ie refrigerator), spinning the top, looking for farm animals, and working to meet deadlines.

not really taking it easy, but she's been by my side through it all.

peek outside

my neighbors probably laugh their heads off when they see me laying on the grass taking pictures of my garden everyday. what can i say? i have a strong affection for my plants. i find gardening to be like therapy. when i am stressed about dealing with the undealable i go outside (perhaps with a glass of wine...)

mornings

my favorite time of day.
quiet.
just the two of us.
peaceful.
i feel like a kid again.

i wanted to grow up so bad. why do we rush everything in our lives?

wanting life to slow down.
