One of my favorite things about spring is how the fields up the road become covered in dandelions. Those fields become the most beautiful place for a photo shoot for me, while the kids have fun picking the flowers and running around in the fields. This year thankfully my sister-in-law agreed to cart me and my 3 kiddo’s one minute… Keep Reading
embrace the camera {momma’s day 2011}
Mother’s Day weekend was spent like most weekends around here. Daddy spent all day Saturday moving firewood back to the house while I taught the kiddo’s how to peel the bark off the chunks of birch trees to use as paper. We literally spent all day Saturday doing this while playing outside. Sorry y’all we don’t lead extremely exciting lives… Keep Reading
baby chicks.
Daddy brought home 30 baby chicks today. And the kiddo’s can’t get enough of these cute little birdies. They spent hours in the barn last night watching, holding, petting and squealing at them. They even had to tuck them into bed last night. Our little boy loves to hold and snuggle them, while our little girl would rather just pet… Keep Reading
embrace the camera {giving piggie a tubbie}
Embrace the camera is all about capturing those precious moments with your kiddo’s that you never want to forget, and this morning that was one of those. This morning piggie had a tubbie. This is a big deal in our house, so we usually spend a few minutes watching piggie flop around in the washer to make sure he is… Keep Reading
embrace the camera {almost spring}
I know spring is almost here because… our rubber boots are a must and not just a fashion statement. Piggie is brought outside to swing with. Cheeks are rosy red from playing and not from the cold. The sandbox is almost clear of snow and is being played in. Oh and so haven’t the hoses, much this momma’s liking. But… Keep Reading
embrace the camera {sugar on snow birthday party}
I wasn’t too surprised when my little maple syrup- doughnut loving guy requested to have his birthday party at the sugar house again. We were even lucky enough to have some of the gang join us. The birthday boy requested a pinata “ninyana” for his party. He wanted a scary monster… he got a maple syrup jug instead. I made… Keep Reading
embrace the camera {tapping trees}
With the cold nights and warm days sugaring season has arrived! There were a few trees that still needed to be tapped, so we packed our minivan full of sugaring buckets and headed out to give Daddy a hand. It was the perfect spring day. The weather was warm and the sun was shining bright! The snow was still a… Keep Reading
embrace the camera {our baby’s first birthday}
Yesturday we spent the day celebrating our baby girl’s first birthday. Cupcakes were made and decorations were finally hung up. Balloons were found. And snuggles were shared. Caterpillar “party hats” were worn. And lots of goodies were consumed. Pom pom caterpillars were finally played with and got lots of loves. Sadly the party was cut short due to a potty… Keep Reading
embrace the camera {taking it easy days}
It’s all about capturing those precious, not so perfect moments with your kiddo’s. Here is tiny a glimpse of what our “taking it easy” days have looked like. Here we were the other day dining off leftovers, cold and straight from the Tupperware containers. We ate our cold sweet potato fries, chicken fingers and baby carrots all huddled together sharing… Keep Reading
embrace the camera {reminiscing}
This week I’m totally reminiscing of our days before baby #3, although she is with us, just in this momma’s bump. Our little guy was 2 1/2 and our little missy girl was almost 1. We were on vacation and hiked one of our favorite mountains. Our pre-marriage and pre-baby days were filled hiking these mountains on a nightly basis…. Keep Reading
