Sleeping in only to be awoke from a sometimes startling summoning for, "Mom!" Feeling her arms wrap around my neck and a exaggerated kiss on my cheek. The daily 'what are we going to do today?' conversation. Half of which we never really get to but it is fun exploring the possibilities.
Breakfast makes me happy. My same steaming bowl of oatmeal with all the fixings and a cup of green tea that seems to warm my soul. For her its the usual, a banana maybe some blueberries, the occasional pancake. But definitely a banana. What else would she chase the dog with?
Exploring new things with Aubrey:
It is not so much breakfast as it is the magic in every moment with her. Watching her learn and grow. Teaching her new things and having every moment lit up from her light. It has become hard for me to remember what life was like before her.
A few other ways in which happiness comes into my life:
Hanging out with any of 'my' babies:
Catching up with old friends:
Making new friends:
Acting like a fool with crazy friends:
Sneaking away to my favorite place:
And capturing priceless moments:
Katie....
ReplyDeleteI think this was a very "cute" post. The pictures of you and your daughter are adorable. I think the pictures may "overwhelm" a typical reader. Although, I think they are valuable to the post. She is what makes you happy, and that is what your post is about. I find myself looking at the pictures before reading the content so I'm not sure if that was the plan but that is what I thought. I would like to suggest that you do something with your template as far as colors go. I like the subtle colors but I think a more graphic type of template might look nice too. I just want to comment that your pictures really make the post that much more real and I think it's a great strength in your post. Finally, your opening line is very catching. It makes me want to read more. Great job!
I'd like to, first of all, agree that this was a great post. I think that the pictures you added make the post much more enjoyable to the reader. It appears that you have a good balance of all things in your life and that's important. Personally, I think the title of your blog is not only funny, but catchy. Your title definitely makes me want to see what else you have to provide as a blogger. I run cross country here at Oakland, and seeing the "journey to 26.2" makes me think that you might possibly be running a marathon? If so, that's awesome! Anyway, I like the color scheme of the entire blog, however I think that it appears a bit simple. Sometimes simple is better, and the level of simplicity is ultimately your discretion.
ReplyDeleteGreat job weaving in things that not only connect you to your readers, but things that also capture who you are at this moment in your life. Pictures work well but play around with layout and see if can lay them into the text a bit better. The one word captions for each picture really work well. I think your voice comes through loud and clear!
