♥ Dree and Duncan love ♥
Too cute for words these two are! This was so special to take my sister and Duncan's engagement photos. AND I got to have my two older girls along for the ride! :) What a fun afternoon we had yesterday! I love you both so very very much. I'm going to miss you dearly. xoxo
Moore/ Erickson Wedding!!
What a total joy it was to spend time with this beautiful family and all their friends! Jenny and Joe adore each other. It's obvious to all who know and love them. It was joyous, funny, emotional, beautiful, care-free and so precious. Jenny, I think those moments of rain were tears of joy from your mama. Thank you both for the honor. Love and congrats!!!
To my kids
I couldn't sleep last night. I was thinking about life and how I'd want to be remembered (among a million other things) I realized this blog would be a journal-of- sorts to my loved ones. I want this to be something my kids can read and browse. I hope it will bring up fond memories of life, love, parties, & recipes we love.
So, today starts a day that I write to my kids & share my heart along with photos and memories and my yummy favs :)
♥First of all, I would do anything for you. ANYthing. I love you more than life itself. Always know how deep my love is for you, even when times get tough.
♥Forgive others. It is for your freedom, not the one who wronged you.
♥Love the beautiful, unique person God made you to be. You are precious in His sight.
♥The world will tell you you're not enough....enough beauty, talent, drive etc. You ARE enough. I adore the person you are.
♥Do your best... that's what makes me proud.
♥Pray. In all things. For all things. God hears and cares. He answers.
♥When you feel down, it always helps to do something for someone else. This is something I try hard to make a part of our family, so it's in you to want to bless someone.
♥Miracles are all around you. Every day. Look for them... and look harder if things look dim. If you still can't see, then I will tell you to take your beautiful lil self to a mirror so you see what I see!
♥There is always someone who would give anything to be in your shoes. Count your blessings.
♥My heart hurts when yours does. I (we) am always here for you. Your daddy and I are your biggest fans for life.
♥I will mess up. I do, daily. But I'm doing my best.
♥Let God's Word be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path. (Psalm 119:105) He is my Rock, and I pray this for you.
♥When life is hard and you're feeling lost, Listen to Ginny Owen's "If You Want Me To." Music awakens the soul. This one has helped me more times than I can count.
♥Try your best to be a person you can be proud of when you look in the mirror.
♥Love others. It will fill your cup.
♥I started praying for each of your spouses before you were even born. Put God first and the rest will unfold as He has planned. Be with a person who would fight for you, cherish you, love you and forgive you without condition.
♥Do one thing to brighten someone's day, every day. There's always room to bless someone's heart. Even if it's just a hug or a smile.
♥You have God-given talents and passions...pursue them & find joy in those gifts!
♥your heart will get scarred. You will experience love and loss in many things in life. But, I am here through the beautiful and the ugly, the sweet and the painful. always. I will do my best to love you through it all. I promise.
♥See the beauty in each day. Life and health is a gift we should not take for granted. Do things to create a healthy life for your mind, body and soul!
♥love your siblings. I pray you protect, love and support one another always. They will be with you for more years than anyone else. Family is the most beautiful blessing.
I love you, kiddos. Thank you for the gift of being your mom. Thank you for every glue-filled, glitter-bombed creation you've poured your heart into. For the hugs and kisses that I cherish more than you'll ever know. I love you with all my heart. YOU are a treasure. xoxo
So, today starts a day that I write to my kids & share my heart along with photos and memories and my yummy favs :)
For my kids with love
