So sweet! Love the daisies!

Very fun, Mandy. Your mantra reminded me of something I learned from my kids–all the important things that they remember from growing up were the little things that I didn’t think were important–like laying in the grass looking at clouds, playing jigsaw puzzles, going to their games…etc. You never DO know when you are making a memory.

Total sweetness! Love that quote, too. I’m going to totally steal your idea for this shot…Tiptoe through the daisies!

Oooh, love these. These are some of my favorites of yours. Well, you know I love all your photos.

Oh my, how cute is that? How do you come up with such clever ideas?

Daisies and toes! What a great composition!

Beautiful, both of them! Great way to live too, enjoy the fun stuff more. :)

Great thoughts. I feel like I’ve had the crazy mom thing going on here way too much. Thanks for the reminder.

Those shots are so summery!

Love these shots – very summerish. So true, we moms get caught up in making the world (our world) go round that we often forget about smelling the flowers. Great reminder.

You are so inspiring Mandy – never would have thought of mixing toes and daisies… and it so works!! :)

Great reminder. I love the toes and daisies and green grass. It totally says summer :) >

LOVE love love it! You have a way of envoking such emotion in your shots, definitely something I admire! And your words are always from the heart and I know your girls will treasure them forever.

I am right there with you on those thoughts this week–for some reason, I am exhausted!
