Day 14: a favorite movie (!!)

It’s a Wonderful Life
It’s a favorite of my dad and I. Growing up, he would put it on several times throughout the Christmas season. I didn’t like it at first, but then I watched it and it became my favorite holiday movie. We start watching it around Thanksgiving and put it away after the New Year. I will sometimes let it play while I clean or put it on as background noise when we have a get together.

aaaand dance by the light of the mooooon

Day 13: something I am proud of

my OMG birth-face

Well, this was a no-brainer. I had my baby on a sidewalk. Born in the morning sunshine. It left me so high on life, I used the experience as my happy place for months! No, really. I had a root canal a few months later and I zoned out during the procedure by thinking about birth.

Day 12: blog love

Man! Only 30 minutes and it will be November 13. I’m cutting this short, but I’ve been BUSY! Wee! I don’t have that much time to visit blogs, but I DO. If I’m not staying up late crocheting, I’m blog-hopping. The following three are blogs that continually inspire me to keep on keeping on. I can’t get enough of them.


COME ON! All the kitschy inspiration one can handle is RIGHT there! So much color and new projects galore. Plus, Danielle is a peach. We empathize with each other whenever we share stories of our two boys. Raising two little dudes is something else, I’ll tell ya. Danielle gets it.

so darn happy photography
Big sigh. Vanessa has been my online friend for quite the hot minute. I lovelove the honesty she brought to my blog reader. The realness was…OOMPH! I loved it. Recently, though, she did a Groupon for her photography business and so she hasn’t updated her personal blog, but her so darn happy blog has been getting a TON of action. Did I mention she has 3 kids? And another job? GOODNESS! She’s a goddess and her photos are top-notch. You should all fall in love with her too.

Photobucket
What can I say? Complete photographic inspiration there. I am never disappointed with what I see/read on Shutter Sisters.

Day 10: what I love about my job

diptych: plaid brothers
Instax: Fall plaid

I am a mother. That’s my job.
Clean toys, clean noses, clean clothes, clean butts. I basically do a lot of cleaning.
I also provide cuddles and knit hats.
I give out treats and warnings.
I have clocked in over 225 minutes of listening to my first grader read aloud (we have to keep count now. big UGH. let’s just read to read, k?) in the past week or two.
I enforce bed time and I comb hair.

What I love most? Watching those dudes grow.
