Miscellaneous Monday

Where do I even start?

Busy.

We.are.busy.

October seems to be my busiest month for photo shoots. And for each and every shoot, I am thankful. So thankful.

But with 3 little girls, it can get kinda crazy! I find myself feeling guilty for being at my computer too much, for saying “not now, Mommy’s busy” and basically for just not being present as much as I’d like to be.

Hence the reason I haven’t blogged lately. I just haven’t found the time to fit it in. It’s all about balance and everyone deals with it in their own way. And I think we probably all feel that we come up short in some way or another.

And on the blogging front, I’ve definitely come up short! (and on the housework, and the laundry, and the playdates with friends)

But we are doing our best to fit in some fun and family time. And looking forward to a slower pace that normally comes after the rush, where I picture myself curled up with hot chocolate in a spotless house with candles burning and my favorite magazines and books. And the girls playing sweetly together.

Hey, a girl can dream, right?!  Reality will probably look more like this; house clean enough, me sitting down with that stack of magazines feeling like I should be doing something else, and going to break up a fight over the same toy 3 times in five minutes. Yep, that sounds about right!

We went to the beach a few weeks ago, and while I’d love to say I have a whole bunch of pictures all ready to share, I don’t, not yet.  But this picture, it speaks to me. I love it so much. Bristol was a little bit afraid of the waves, and here they are, big sister protecting little sis as a wave came crashing in…

Thanks for looking and I’ll be back (soon?) with more to share
