As May transitions to June, we are returning to a time when frolicking in the grass will become more frequent. Where we get a little breathing room in life and you can just enjoy being outside. Last weekend's weather was abysmal but it looks like Mother Nature is rewarding us with a beautiful weekend. So please get outside and touch some grass.

📸 Do you take photobooth photos?📸

If not, I highly encourage it.

Cleaning out an old wallet and came across an old photo booth strip from about 7 years ago with a friend () who I met at a birthing class. We helped each other through the very tough time of being a new mom with active little boys. I truly don't know how I would've survived that time of life without her. This was a photo from a fantastic weekend "down the shore" together when our kids were at that perfect age. Looking at this photo strip brings back all of the memories and is why I think photography is so important.

These parenting tips are very helpful and some are hysterical.

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!

I know this is a complicated holiday for many. Between missing my own mom and seeing my own children rapidly approaching college age, today is tough for me as well. At the same time, it was filled with so much love. Spending time with my family playing scrabble and watching a movie. Having lunch on our deck with the grandparents. Even visiting my mom’s grave…I feel like speaking to her headstone gives me direct access to her.

So for those who are struggling because their mom is not with you anymore, you have a mom but the relationship is not ideal, you want to become a mom but can’t, or one of the many reasons today is difficult. I hope you were to process some pain but also find some joy in the day.

“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery-air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, ‘This is what it is to be happy” SYLVIA PLATH, THE BELL JAR

🌎 HAPPY EARTH DAY! 🌎

We’re living in a time where I greatly worry about our planet. We are at a tipping point and much effort must be put forth to protect our future and our planet. I do believe we will see a massive amount of innovation in order to tackle this massive problem. However, I do love seeing the amazingly creative ways people are problem solving. There are so many gorgeous places on this planet, whether across the globe or in your own backyard, that make it worth fighting mightily. I can’t pick just one favorite place but do know that it is the people in combination with the place that makes a specific location a favorite of mine. I hope everyone uses some time today to see how they personally can do things to help the planet in their own way. The big corporations need to also do their heavy lifting as well. Please let’s work together to save this beautiful place we call home.

It feels like Thanksgiving was last week and my son was 3 last year and not 13 years ago. These are the quiet moments that make Christmas special and that I will be forever grateful for experiencing. To all of you going through the Christmas chaos, I hope you are finding at least moments of joy. Merry Christmas Eve , everyone!

Please help me support local, small businesses.

Small, local businesses are the heart of every community. I am so grateful for the years of repeat business from local families throughout the Delaware Valley and would like to help support other small, local businesses this holiday season.

Last winter, I spent some time shopping and photographing just some of the amazing shops in West Chester, PA. I need to go back and visit all of the shops we did not visit. However, I did blog about those I did visit. There are truly so many wonderful boutiques and restaurants that it does take some time. Check out the link to see what shops we visited and loved.

Taking a moment on Thanksgiving to acknowledge the Indigenous Community on this day. Here are a few favorite images from Pow Wows over the years that help celebrate Native culture.
