when i first started blogging 1 year 8 months + 11 days ago,
i was certain of a few of things :
>> i needed a way to document the little things in jonah’s life,
>> i love taking pictures
>> jon had me convinced that all the cool entrepreneur wife/mom’s blog.
so there i went, i started a blog.
but even i was bored with it after the first month.
let me tell you though, when jonah arrived, it was a new ball game.
i had a purpose. a reason.
i had a genuine passion for it + i will be the first to admit, i was {and still am} very proud of jonah.
we love him! he is our everything! he made us better + made us complete.
i can’t wait to go back + show him how much he has grown.
how much we loved him then + how much we love him now.
a couple of weeks ago i got an email from jillian capewell {editor for babble.com}
informing me that babble had chosen me for TOP 20 F A V O R I T E baby photo blogs for 2012.
whaaaaat?
yes, i cried.
{probably didn’t help that i had just finished shooting my first wedding for the most perfect couple i have ever met}
i am truly honored.
only all of my favorite bloggers.
all being incredibly talented mother’s who inspire me with their unique style + love for their children.
i have grown to love blogging. i enjoy sharing glimpses of our life with you.
i also adore all of the friends that i have made from doing it.
i have learned lots about myself as a mama + myself as . . . myself?
i am most honored that my love for motherhood + for my beautiful son, shines in a way that another mother found inspiring.
what greater compliment can i ask for?
thank you babble, i am very flattered.
Congrats. That is really, really awesome!
just found your blog and it’s adorable! your family is too sweet. look forward to reading more. xo
Hey, I found your blog while ago, via instagram. Love everything about it!
Also I love that you (and all these lovely lifestyle blogs) inspire other mamas to enjoy the time with their children.
Or at least I have started to enjoy my life and kids more.
Thank you for that 🙂
Have a wonderful christmas time <3
