Happy 2013!!!

YAY!! 2012 is officially gone and 2013 is smack dab in our laps now.    .............

So now what!?!?!

Well, everyone this time of year gets super excited to make resolutions. "I'm going to lose weight" or "I'm going to quit smoking" or "I'm going to make a million dollars this year". Most of our resolutions are vague and just superficial. A way for us to believe in our minds that things will be better this year. And lets face it, most people by August are looking at their wastelines and their pack of smokes and their bank acccounts and thinking "Oh crap".

So rather than set some stupid goal that I know deep down inside I really don't care if I reach or not (because lets face it I'm 30 and have 5 kids, there is NO way I am going to squeeze my ass in a size 5 again!) I have decided to in 2013 live in my everyday moments! And not only that, but I plan to capture those with my camera!

In 2012 between starting my photography business, juggling being a stay at home mom of 5, having a baby under a year old screaming his ass off 24/7, attending football practices and putting on the good ol' football coaches wife smile, shopping for groceries, cleaning up boogers and puke, doing homework with my 5th grade daughter for hours and hours, being the loving wife and giving my man some attention, keeping the house liveable, cheufering kids from practice to school to home to practice to home to school to parties (anyone with kids under 16 knows exactly what I am talking about), and somehow putting a healthy dinner on the table in the midst of all the above, I have lost actually enjoying all the little moments!!!

So being that I am photog I decided daily I am going to carry my camera with me. I'm going to take those photos of all the little things I enjoyed through the day that normally I and my family take advantage of.

I hope you find some insipration in my posts... and maybe they make you laugh... or maybe you just scroll thru to see what the pic of the day is.. but most of all I hope it inspires you to take that moment and capture it yourself. If not with a camera with your heart! <3

Cheers to 2013!

Here's the first toast of the year... Some apple cider at midnight with my baby girls!
