Why We’re Doing Family Photos (and Why I Think It Will Become a Tradition)
We’re heading to a nature preserve next week for family photos—not the rushed kind, but the kind that feel like us. Soft, playful, a little chaotic, and full of love. I want to remember this season—not just how we looked, but how we felt. How we moved through the world together. How we showed up for each other.
As moms, we’re so often behind the camera. But I’ve learned—especially after walking through cancer recovery—that being in the frame matters. I want my children to have proof of our love, not just in stories, but in images that say, “She was here. She adored you.”
These photos are a way of pausing time. Of saying, “This moment mattered.” And maybe, just maybe, this will become a tradition.
Three Costumes & One Grateful Heart
This Halloween, every detail feels like a gift. From Lily’s velvet costume to the twins’ coordinated wagon ride, I’m not chasing milestones—I’m soaking in the sweetness. In this post, I reflect on parenting through recovery, the quiet joy of neighborhood traditions, and the kind of gratitude that lives in fleece, tulle, and the sound of children laughing under porch lights.
