7/52 Sweet Valentines

in ,

Sometimes on Valentine's Day you just have to hang out with your best pal and make sugar cookies or "cakes" if you're Marlow. One little lady decorates meticulously, the other licks frosting and sprinkles. This was gal-entines ya'll. 

I have to say these are the days I dream about. These are those days. Messy, exhausting, full of giggles. 

Making a commitment to document life one week at a time, every week of 2015. These black and white family lifestyle photos were taken in my kitchen and dining room at home in Spokane with two adorable kiddos. 

6/52 Aunt Ton!

in ,

This last week we were SO lucky that my sister was able to make a quick trip to Spokane to see us! She came from New York to Seattle to Spokane then back to Seattle and back to New York again. She made Marlow's day and ours. Having her live across the country is tough, but it sure makes these visits all the more special. After she left, Marlow woke up from her nap and said, "I miss Aunt Ton." Me too, Bub! Thank goodness for FaceTime!

Photos taken in about 30 seconds as we walked out the door at 7:30 in the morning on our way to the airport. :) Love our early morning backyard fog - yum. 

5/52 Juice

in ,

Two weeks behind, but still making it happen! :) This is the week Marlow discovered making "juuiiicce". She loved putting the slices in the top of the juicer and watching juice come out. She takes a bite of each fruit or veggie before putting it down the shoot - so cute. When we were done she ran around saying, "Mom, I made this!!" So cute and such an easy way to get a boost of vitamins. :) 2/5

4/52 Chones

A picture every week. 

As you can imagine this lasted all of 5 minutes, but I couldn't help but take a pic of this cute bum. And yes, those are boys training undies (no openings in the front) because they are the only plain ones I could find. 

Black and white spokane lifestyle photos taken indoor in about three minutes. Toddler in action photo = be fast. :)
