october is a super duper busy month for my photography biz… and the weather is so fabulous (when it doesn't rain). photography is so much fun!!!
i was planning on going to sean's football game but it was raining. i like this gum. a lot. also deoderant. weeeeeeeeeirdo. ……………………………………….. umm….i started the Jenny Craig program….for reals.
JUST GOT TO READING THIS POST. The puddle pictures were so awesome made me wish it would rain! I have deoderant in my purse too! and my desk drawer! You just never know. oh, sweet annie. she looks more and more like talby all the time!! LOLs Meg…you are such a funny lady 🙂 Great pics! And glad your breath always has the opportunity for freshness. You are getting the most fabulous shots!!!! Love all of these, especially the rain photos. Glad to know someone else is a freak about certain things. Mine is Carmex. I buy tons of it, and can’t leave home without it. 🙂 Great picks of playing in the rain. I’m also weird about B.O. and other smells. Especially in my home. I also cary deodorant because living in AZ, you always need it. Thanks for sharing those lovely family photos. These photos are LOVELY! Is that the gum with the “juice” inside? if so, I love that stuff! And Im the exact same way-deodrant and gum all the way. In fact, Ive carried my toothbrush and travel sized paste around with me before. Theres just nothing worse than bad body stink. 🙂 Looks like you live in WA state..haha. Love the rain for about 1 week (to water my lawn and watch the kids play in it), then it gets old. Cute photos. One day I want you to photograph my kids. You seem to bring out their personalities unlike me as their mom yelling “come on.. smile at the camera..just one more time.. i promise… come on… do it now… now i’m getting mad…”. haha I have a friend who keeps deodorant in her purse, I keep it in the glove compartment of my car. That is Ramona Quimby FOR SURE in the top photo!! I love the pictures! We just moved to Kanas this weekend while it was raining. wahahha! love how you just bought it all … i do that. if I’m shopping and I’m cold, I just go buy a jacket. pfffttt! I’m a freak when it comes to smells too, especially how I smell 🙂 I have to say, never heard of anyone keeping deoderant in their purse….hmmmmm!!!! I might have to try that! I have a friend who can’t leave the house without her toothbrush & toothpaste. Makes me laugh:). Also, the pics of Annie are so fun, & Lauren looks like a serious volleyball player. Awesome. Kids and puddles…it’s a magnetic force. Those puddle-jumping pictures are amazing! And I’ve never seen that gum before – now I’ll be on the hunt for it. Best of luck with Jenny Craig! I carry deodorant in my purse too! 😛 My fave gum too! Gum is a must! I feel the oh.no oh.no oh.no when I don’t have a drink with me. Not like a hard drink, LOL, but my iced tea or water when I go to jump in the car. That is not weird about the deodorant. I do it too. Except mine usually ends up falling out of my purse and onto the floor in my car and then melting because I live in Texas. So I am always buying deodorant. I wish more people did it too! I also have deodorant in my purse. And in my desk at work. Deson’t everyone? Ha! Stinker – you got all the rain they kept promising us in Topeka that NEVER showed. Poo! We REALLY need it! I absolutely can’t function without my gum. Deoderant in your purse? You are a genius! I have deodorant in my bag too!!!! HA! and I can not live without Chapstick. So basically, if I was stranded on an island, 2 of my must have items would be deodorant and Chapstick. I love the way you catch the water droplets as they fly in the air. Ethereal. Love the volleyball pics. I just took my baby over to a volleyball game. Totally forgot how loud they are. She FREAKED! Poor baby. My bad. Meg, where do you get your super cute fabric? I love the puddle photos! Makes me want to go jump in one! Every time it rains here in AZ, my kids get excited about jumping in puddles. Sadly, most of the time it “rains” for 5 minutes and then stops, leaving no puddles. Bummer! Im the same about diet coke and chap stick. they are my gotta haves but I am working on the diet coke habit…..it could get ugly:) Love those puddle pictures!! Ahhhh, how I miss Saturday volleyball tournaments! I loved all the rain this weekend! Splashing in the puddles is a must. My 8 year old is crazy weird about smells. I have to have lipstick before I leave the house. That and mu iPhone. It is like another organ to me. Great picture of Lauren hitting the ball over the net. Were you afraid of getting your camera wet taking the pictures of Annie & friends? Love Love Love the puddle pictures! LOVE! these are the best pics ever of Annie, and there’s been some good ones!! You take the most amazing pictures. Love Annie in the first picture. Priceless Love the photos of the girls splashing in the puddles! I can’t leave the house without lip balm and sunglasses…ever! That’s funny about the smells because I am the same way. I keep deodorant in my car in the console. And I always keep some kind of mints and never leave without the mint lip gloss from bath and body.
mmmmmmm……sweet baby emmet.
have you noticed our lack of craft thursdays??? BUT once the photo season is done for me….27 more days….i will be able to do it. annie just came up with her own project instead.
lauren’s volleyball team is so much fun to watch.
ANNIE can TIE HER SHOES!!!
she came home from school yesterday with this face. well ok…as long as you didn’t pay for it. ………………………………………….
Where did you find your sign in the back ground of your picture? the grey sign that has family rules on it/ I love it! pffff.. it’s a relieve to hear something is not going your way ( crafty thursdays) you still sound like a miracle mother to me! making beautifull pictures of your own children and others.. enjoying your daughters sport, and still visit lots of blogs and write your own. wow.. Go Annie!! And I’m dying that “the mustache was free.” Emmet is soooo cute! I loved volleyball in high school (I feel certain I’d die if I tried to play now! 😉 I love your Craft Thursdays so I’ll be glad when you have more time 😉 and that Annie is a girl after my own heart. I have a feeling (a strong one!) that my oldest granddaughter Emily & her are kindred spirits! Gotta love ’em! Love a sweet little baby named Emmet, my “baby” Emmett just turned 3. The volleyball pics make me miss my glory days, love that she isn’t wearing knee pads! And Annie? what can you say, it was free after all! ahhhh. . . it wasn’t even a year ago you were taking pictures of my sweet babe & that sweet Emmett makes me want to rewind to clock (or get pregnant!) Love Annie’s stash. . .too funny! Heehee Annie…way cute! Hip hip hooray! Good job Annie! We just celebrated this milestone at our house too. I think our girls are close in age. Fun times! Hi! I’ve been searching your website for awhile tonight trying to find out where you got that print on the top of the cabinet that Annie is painting in front of (see 2nd photo from the top on this post). It has all the words/sentences on it like “use kind words” ” be considerate” etc. I know that you’ve probably mentioned it before but I had no luck finding a source reference. If you wouldn’t mind sharing I’d appreciate it! thanks! Yay that Annie can tie her shoes! We’ve been working on that at our house too. I’ll have to show my 6yo son this post. Maybe knowing that Annie can do it will give him a little boost. 🙂 So funny about the “free” moustache! Has she read the book Moosetache? It’s funny. 🙂 O my gosh! Annie cracks me up. She has an eye for a deal. I love the photo of Emmet – we can’t wait to see them all!! Thank you so much! Angie If we lived closer I’d let you in on our whacky carpool! haha. It’s one of those carpools where everyone starts texting each other by 3pm trying to figure out how to get all of the kids to their sports… and trying to get a night off every once in awhile to make a nice dinner…haha. Oh gosh that little baby Emmet makes me want to have #5 now!! that top baby pic! Ooooohhhh that sweet babe!!!!!! Happy weekending! I love the links you share, gets me thinking about gift-giving! friends that give free mustaches are THE best kind of friends. We haven’t been doing very many crafts either. My oldest has been begging me. We finally made spiders last night. Ready for things to slow down also. Your Annie should get together with my Abby. They would totally hit it off! Oh baby Emmett. I would almost ask for the Doc to untie my tubes for a cutie like that. Yay, Annie! oh good… now for the rest of us moms who rarely do crafts with our kids, we can feel less guilty 🙂 What type of lens/settings do you use for the volleyball pictures. I’m trying to get better pictures of my daughters games. Thanks!! that picture of emmet? my ovaries hurt. thanks for that. 🙂 Baby Emmett is a dream! I just found your blog about a week ago and have spent a lot of time reading thru all of your old posts. Very enjoyable….however the laundry piled up and we didn’t eat very good meals 🙂 LOVE…Annie’s moustache and sweet baby Emmet. Have a wonderful weekend, Meg! Oh my goodness, Emmet is one handsome dude! Beautiful photograph. Lauren’s not wearing knee pads. How tough is that girl? cute little Annie! Such a precious baby. LOVE the free mustache. LOVE the kids noticing the crafting is missing. It lets me know they LOVE it and it’s not just a photo op. Things like this are what make you the authentic and special blogger you are. 🙂 yesterday was a good day. -went for a run right away in the morning….endurance is on my side now. -my computer problem was a broken charger….YAY! -i had dinner in the crock pot by 9 AM for the family later. and then i left with a friend to see another friend for the whole day. literally 14 hours of non stop talking….by all of us. :) and about 15 bathroom breaks. it's so good. she is moving with her family to Liberia for missions. oh how i will miss her!!! but i get to go visit her too! one of her daughters is a spectacular artist. i think Beth is 11 years old.
i can't wait to see what she finds to create in africa! we got home really late and i crawled into bed so happy. i love those kind of days. what about you?
Happy for your special day. Your friend and her family sound amazing. I REALIZED A LONG TIME AGO… What feeds my soul… glad you had a great visit with your friends, your happiness just bounces off the page ! WOW! Her daughter has incredible talent! I can’t even draw a good-looking stick man… gee. Glad you had some good time with your friends. Every mama needs some of that! Glad you had a great time with friends. Something that gives me a boost is listening to music, playing the piano, and spending time with friends 🙂 yes, time with the girlfriends feeds the soul for sure. helps you feel not alone. i also crave time alone with my man. to feel like me…and not just a mama. Time with girlfriends? Ah yes, I’m leaving tomorrow for a girly weekend in Michigan. Can’t wait! Next to my hubby and kids girlfriends and girlfriend time is waaaaay imortant to me and my mental health 🙂 That is a GREAT drawing. Wow. I am so impressed. Quality time feeds my soul. It doesn’t matter where or what we are doing, but just being with my friends/family makes me happy. Thats one of my favorite recipes from Smashed Peas & Carrots. So easy & soooo good. I think you led me to her blog….so thank you!! PS- Prayed for Pam and her family… what an exciting act of obedience! As much as I love my 4 kids… time away from being a 24 hr mom is what feeds my soul. Time away with my husband or friends. And as much as I love just hanging out with dear friends or my husband, I really prefer the deep, meaningful long chunks of time. Kinda like your 14 hrs of non-stop talking! Not that my husband and I would spend 14 hrs talking… he’s good for an hour at a time. haha 😉 She is an extremely talented artist! When listening to the radio this morning a preacher talked about recognizing and using God given talents. What an AMAZING God given talent she has! What a great day! I saw on Twitter that you went to an UnForked. Were you in Overland Park visiting your friend? The new UnForked here is literally just down the street from my condo! And I haven’t been to it yet 🙂 Oh MY Goodness! TALENTED!!! I cannot believe how amazing those drawings are! I want one… for real Love those days with close friends too!!! Just got to have one myself today!!! Not for 14 hours…only about 4, but I”ll take it !!!!!!! So exciting for Pam 🙂 what you said about having time with close friends is so true! i love the hours i get when i can chat with my girlfriends and be encouraged. since we moved to CO last year, it takes awhile to gain those close relationships, so when you get to be reunited with an old friend, it is amazingly wonderful! thanks for sharing! Wow! What an amazing artist! Please share her drawings of Africa, if she will let you. I am hoping to go to Uganda this summer with our church! How exciting. Three of us girlfriends try to meet for dinner once a month at one of our homes and we make/bring a course each. Then just talk to, at and over each other for about 4 hours non-stop! I always wake up with a sore throat (and sometimes a bit of a fuzzy head…) the next day but it is SO worth it and I so look forward to those dinners. Such talent. Amazing. Sounded like a GREAT day. I love when you discover that the computer is NOT broken. friends, family, leftovers for the next day. 🙂 her daughter has an incredible talent…in…cred….ible. goodness me, she is so talented!! Feed your soul….now that’s important. I have to be creative. I need it….its me. I like to flea market. I don’t need to shop, just walk around. Of course its best with friends on both. I feel rejuvinated, fresh, like someone has charged my battery. yay for you Meg! That kind of talent is god given. She needs to set up an Etsy shop. That kind of talent is god given. She needs to set up an Etst shop. I’ve been thinking about the time I need with friends. You’ve inspired me to make a few calls. I’m the same way, I HAVE to have that time with good friends (& no kiddos) to recharge. I’m headed to Oklahoma tomorrow to spend a few days with my besties from college. Women need other women. Period. 🙂 well, YOU, for one…you me dear are a fabulous gift for my soul. I am glad you had such a great day. craving some girl time myself. Awesome! So glad you had that time. I had one of those days too. Sharing and being real – crazy real – with a friend all day yesterday. What a gift. In the words of my sister-in-law “People are my treasure.” 🙂 Good for you! Sounds like a wonderful day! Girlfriend time definitely does it for me, and when the whole family is together. We only have one left at home, so when they are all around, it fills me up. On the other side of that, alone time rejuvenates me as well. I need both! Wow, I can’t believe her daughter’s drawings. They are spectacular. Sounds like her family is on a great path! SOunds like a very special day, indeed. You are blessed! And, I don’t mean to be snarky at all, but what the heck did you put in the crock pot??? I am always looking for good crock pot recipes! 🙂 Both of the Blue Lily workshops were so energizing for me. Not just with my photography, but creating a greater appreciation for my husband, kids and life. Time with my closest girlfriends does the same. It doesn’t happen enough, but is sooo needed. I think that it is wonderful that you were able to spend time with your friend before her giant move! Isn’t it amazing how energizing it can be to spend time with other women? I love my family, but spending time with friends always gives me a fresh perspective and it’s definitely something that I should do more often. my computer is acting up. so i sit here on the desktop computer that the rest of my family uses and i looked through iPhoto on here. and i think i may cry. i love that she chose that….it's so her.
and then there was talby…on her teeny pink bike….and her sweet baby face. when? look at my babies!!!
oh wait….i do remember something that i don't miss so much. but i would do it again in a heart beat. i just can't believe how fast it changes. i miss my babies being babies. let's all hope my computer gets fixed really quick because how many posts like this can a heart take???
I am so glad I am not the one who physically aches when they see pictures of the littles…I do the same (and my kids are only 5 and 4)–but I do miss the baby snuggles, the “need” for mom, and even potty training (a little). love it. *sigh* This actually made me cry a little. I’m going through that bang your head on the floor and cry stage. =) I love my babies to pieces, but sometimes they can be emotionally exhausting. And you just put it all in perspective for me. And now I just want to stay right here in this stage when they’ll still crawl on my lap and into my bed for cuddles and snuggles. And give me big huge bear hugs and butterfly kisses. Old pictures make me cry too, and baby J is only 7 mos old! But I feel like one day I blinked and he was instantly older. I wish I could slow down time just a little bit. I can’t look at old pictures. I have albums and albums and scrapbooks and all of that, and I can’t even look at them because I just get in an awful teary funk. Darn those kids for growing up! I am in LOVE with myservice.com to fix my mac. It’s so much cheaper than the apple store and they do a great job. My husband stepped on my laptop and they fixed the screen for HALF THE PRICE. I will accept that shirt as a hand-me-down. I visit often, but don’t comment much. However, I must comment today! I had the same thing with my mac book and I took it to apple. It ended up being a memory card. (Nothing was lost – I don’t understand too much about computers but when I here damaged memory card I think lost info but apparently that’s not the case). They said it just happens – no warning and it cannot be prevented. It took them 15 minutes and it was up and running. Hopefully that’s the same problem with your’s! Thank you for that sweet reminder today, Meg! I have a 19 month old and a 3 year old, and we are certainly in the midst of the three year old tantrums. Yesterday, it involved a fit pitched because “the couch wouldn’t move” to let her by. No lie. I want to pull my hair out on so many days, but this was a good reminder that these days will be gone before I know it. thanks for that. I have the hardest time looking through those old pics myself (my one and only baby just turned 19!!!)…yours made me cry, mine make me weep! The eternal tug at a mother’s heart strings, oh to do it all again. 🙂 sigh.. I have been in a bit of a funk since my baby went to Kindergarten a month ago… thanks for brining tears to my eyes, I am not alone in wonderful Motherhood. Now I think, maybe just one-or 2 more?…. What am I thinking! 🙂 Thanks Meg. ok. you need to stop this right now. and you are right – GREAT cut. definitely NOT 10 years ago. 😉 wish we could have chatted more, too. and we WILL meet again. before you post pictures of your kids from today 4 years from now. kim and i are on the wait list for craft weekend! REALLY, really hoping to make it happen. even in the snow. miss you, new friend! xxoo I love your hair in the one pic 🙂 I love flipping through old photos. Thanks for sharing. Memory lane is hard on the heart, isn’t it?! aw! I don’t even know your kids and I felt my heart get all mushy inside! I blinked and find my gorgeous girlie is planning her walk down the aisle next year. I love Annie’s chubby fist full of marbles. Life is in the details! I have to say I dont usually post anything on your board but I am always reading and enjoying everything you have on your site. BUT this touched me. My son is turning 5 in January and it literally makes my heart hurt knowing he is growing up so fast. I truly with all that is in me try to enjoy every moment with him. Often having mommy guilt for being a working mother but I am always looking for us to do things together after work or on weekends. He is my only son and I will probably not have any more so I am even more sad that I wont see that infant/toddler stage but I at least did once for a couple of years and when my son potty trained he picked a book when I took him to the store! It is so beautiful being a mother and I never even knew it would be like this. Right?! Julia is about to outgrow me any second and I am seriously not sure what happened! i am crying with you. my kiddos are 7 & 9. i long for baby/toddler days. they seem so much older than they should be. i am understanding everyday more and more why parents cry at graduation and weddings and births of grandbabies. okay, i’ll stop now. Awww so cute! I know exactly how you feel. My kids are 8 and 6 and I don’t know how we got here! It went so fast. Everyone always tells you to enjoy the time with your kids because it goes so fast. I always thought, “Yeah right. Whatever you say.” But it did, and it does. I miss my babies. Meg…oh how blessed we are to have the gift of seeing our children grow up…I wouldn’t want it any other way. But that doesn’t mean it has to happen so fast! 🙂 your kids are so beautiful. i like to see them grow up…makes me feel good. maybe i feel like that because they are only 4 and 1 1/2… I agree. It happens way too fast. Sad to report that it happens with the grandbabies too. So very sad. :*( Praying your computer is fixed pronto! 😉 I am getting teary-eyed FOR you! So sweet. I totally hear you…makes me sad too! I feel your pain! It truly is physically painful sometimes. I have 9 year old twin girls. And that’s it. They’re both going to leave me at once!! Oh my. I dread it already. Yes. Please don’t do this again…lol!! 😀 I teared up looking at your pictures thinking of how you must feel knowing I feel the same here about my son. I have a different type of longing also because our first child, a daughter, was stillborn and I always think of what could have been with her. I can never decide which is worse: knowing or wondering. I totally get you on the physical pain thing. Every time I go back through photos from our fiels, I end up in tears and just saying to Eric “how did our girls grow up so fast?!” Theyre still young (5 & 7) but seriously…just yesterday I was birthing them. Insert me bawling here… I have never commented on any post before, but this took me straight to my heart. I know how you feel. Sometimes I wonder what my purpose is, they don’t need me as much. How I miss those days. Great post! I took one look at that picture of all of you and thought “Meg needs to grow out her hair”! I love it long like that! Good afternoon… stumbled onto your blog while searching for “bunting” inspiration. I have to tell you this- *I* have a 3 year old who could almost be a twin to your Annie. I did a double-take. So now we ARE in the bang-your-head-against-the-floor-for-no-reason-only-because-I-am-3 stage. But your post made me pause and think… in a few years it will all be different. I do love the cuddles before bed and the innocence and the giggles. I will try not to take them for granted. Even when the next tantrum is about to start, in .. 03…02…01…… :)jody I so avoid iPhoto. No way. Or archives on the blog. Sigh. I don’t mean to discourage you, but I’m actually the great-grandma of a darling three-month old…and I STILL tear up at pictures of my own babies and my grandbabies (who have had the audacity to become old enough to go off to college and one to get married.) Maybe that intense love is what keeps us praying for them year after year. oh my gosh…why would you do this to me!?! i’m already an emotional wreck, getting ready to moving across the country and leave all my friends and family…now this!?! 🙂 i think i need to go find my husband…we need more kids 😉 Awesome photos! I don’t even know you and those pictures had me tearing up too! I’m right there with you. Every time I look back at the sweet baby faces of my two, it has the same effect!! Glad to know that I’m not the only mom that this happens to. Thanks for sharing! I agree, how much more can we take! Stop it! You need to tuck it all away, otherwise you’ll make us all cry!!! precious photos! This post even made me sad!!! That picture of you and all your kids, they were all soooo little in that picture 🙁 I wish they stayed small FOREVER! Annie and Talby look so much alike! My heart hurts every time I look at my now 22, 20 and 9 year old. And my grandbaby is now 15 months old. What????? Enjoy every single minute of it. It’s gone in a heartbeat. Annie and Talby look so much alike! I’m dying everytime I look at my “babies” who are now 22, 20 and 9. My grandbaby is now 15 months old. What????? Just enjoy it. Every single minute of it. I think God broke you computer so you would be able to look back at these wonderful memories! So adorable. Now, let’s just hope he fixes it too 😉 Awww… Yeah, this one hit home. Your THEN is my NOW. So, is there one thing…or maybe a few things…that you might have done differently as a mommy when they were little? Or if the “seasoned mama Meg” could go back in time and tell the “new mama Meg” a few pieces of advice, what would they be? Love, A Mommy of Four Little People Who Sometimes Forgets Her Name 🙂 the only thing that upsets me more than my kids growing up so fast, is a computer with a black screen. I was just telling my husband that I can’t really remember the feel of my kids as babies anymore. It makes me sad when I think of that. The thing is we can’t slow it down so I am trying to embrace them getting older and focus on the joy of watching them turn into adults. I’m sure the joy will come AFTER the teen years 😉 I only have an almost two year old and an 8 week old. I feel like they have grown so fast and they are only babies. I am learning to treasure the now moments because they are gone so fast. Sweet, sweet photos. I miss my little kids, too – and they’re only 4 and 7 now. Seven was a hard one. Just happened two weeks ago. I told my husband that this all needs to slooowwww down. Isn’t it fun when you find a blessing in your broken computer? oh mommy! even I can see how they have grown and i’ve only been reading your blog for 2 years… they do grow up so fast. Oh my heart, Be Still. xxx Love your pictures! I totally feel the same way. My oldest 2 boys have both moved out now-they are 20 and 22. We still have the 13 year old and the’princess'(who is 11) at home, but the house is so much quieter now! We used to have a houseful all the time! Dinners were awesome:)! I miss the noise!!! Yes I said that! We still get them home for a dinner once in a while, but not always at the same time. They grow up way too fast! So glad I took as many pictures as I did! Every mother is like this, we miss our little ones, don’t we? I used to have baby and toddler pictures all over the house and always was commenting how cute she was. Then one day, she got all her guts up and asked me if I don’t like her as an “older” child (she was 14 then), since I only have her kiddie pictures on display and always talk about how adorable she was. I felt so bad, I had no idea how it came across to her when I was reminiscing…..I still do, but in private and all her pictures on display are current ones – of an adorable 16 year old teenager (with attitude *sigh*) Oh, you are breaking my heart. My 3 are still so little, and it makes me ache to think they will grow up and not be these little people anymore…i think I’ll go hug them right now!!! 🙂 The first few pictures of Annie made me smile. My daughter Abigail is the SAME way! Just the other day we were at the store and she picked out YARD SALE stickers! That was all she wanted, and she had the biggest smile on her face as we were walking out of the store with them. 🙂 Old photos are so hard to look at (and videos – can’t even go there!) Mine are twelve, ten, and two and growing up too fast. So many great pictures….iPhoto is a vault of oldies on my old computer too. It is has been forever since I dug around in there. I know what you mean. Time FLIES by. Hang on, it goes way faster the older we get. I have a theory on this. You can ask me about it some time. 🙂 wow. that made me cry too. i have an 8 year old boy, 5 year old girl and an 8 month old. on my hard days…i try to remind myself that one day they will be grown. i try to remind myself that cleaning and laundry can wait until tomorrow. i try to remind myself to just breathe and try to love the moment that we are in. thank you for reminding me of all of that today. that is what your blog does for me… it lifts me up…just when i needed it. i feel your pain, sister. and my babies are still 3 and 1! i look at their newborn pics and just DIE. I’m going to have to ask that you please stop posting these types of pictures immediately. Because for some reason it makes me go back to old pictures of MY kids and then I become a teary mess before I have my second cup of coffee. me too, me too, me too. My eldest is 18 in about 6 weeks. My heart hurts looking at the pictues with you. Like it was said before, I wish I could appreciate the moments when I was in them, as much as I do when I look back. I think I am gonna go look at some of our old pictures. HAve a good time remembering. Aww, mine are still babies (oldest in Kdg) and I already miss them being babies. My baby is 7 mths old and I hate the thought of no more newborns! I hope when we get to heaven we get to hold our babies again. It’s heaven and that would be heaven to me so who knows! Ahhh what a reminder. How does it happen?!?!? I had a little tantrum thrower, too. I used to put her to bed at night and feel the bumps on her head from throwing herself on the ground. And this morning as she rushed out the door to school….yeah, she’s still kinda like that. meg! i am weeping with you! love all these photos. such sweet memories!! my little guy will be three right after christmas. it feels like last month we were bringing him home from the hospital, adopting him into our family. i pray the lord has more children in our future! letting go of baby and enjoying the growing is such a tug of war! Meg: I absolutely love my six-year-old son, but I sure would love to spend some time with the baby he used to be. It’s such a bittersweet experience to look through old photos! Tricia I still have a three year old, but when I see pictures of my older girls that little I cry. I cry every time. My husband just shakes his head and says. Forget it, your tubes are tied and we are not having any more babies. Oh well. I love to look at the old pics! I could so use that tantrum shirt! There’s a Mumford and Sons song (“After the Storm”) with the line: “There will come a time with no more tears and love will not break your heart.” It always makes me think of my kids – how much I love them and how much their growing up and away hurts. I can only hold on to the hope that there is a day and a place in store for us where love won’t make us cry. Awww Meg! Hope you cheer up a bit 🙂 Wow! This post made me choke up. I am the mother of a 2.5 year old and a 5 week old. Sometimes I find myself wishing them older just so I can have some time to myself. Thank you for reminding me to live in moment and enjoy these little ones while they are little. FIX THAT COMPUTER!!! I am a sucker for things kinds of things. I can’t handle it. My only child just turned 2. I started crying in the hospital about her growing up when she was only 2 DAYS old!! I just took my son to get new basketball shoes… size 10 1/2 is what he needed!!! When did THAT happen? He was my little boy, the one that I had as a young girl… I never dreamed it would go by so fast. His zit covered forehead and deep voice make me angry sometimes. Oops!! I meant I have THREE daughters!!! I am glad for one thing.. that I am not the ONLY mother that hurts SO much and gets tears in her eyes when I look back at pictures – and I mean HURT. I am a mother of four… I have 2 daughters ages almost 15, 12, 10 and a son who is 7. My daughter started highschool this year, and my Sarah is in middle school – how did this happen so quickly?? My son doesn’t call me Mommy anymore…I am Mom to even him now! I look back at when they were babies or little tikes and it DOES hurt.. it really does… and know I am glad I know that I’m not the only one and sounds like you understand. And when I was in the thick of taking care of them all when they were babes, I didn’t realize HOW much I would miss it!! Don’t get me wrong… it is wonderful to see them grow too…but boy I miss my babies!!! My baby just turned 3… and it pains me too to look at pictures when they were younger too. It was an exhausting time, but much simpler… tantrums and all 🙂 My laptop is on the blink too! My husband is good at that sort of stuff though. He has run about a gazillion scans and they all have found something different!!! I’m using his laptop now. I had a moment this morning like your “picture moments”. My nine year old son was lying in bed and for just a mili-second, his face looked like it did when he was three. It took my breath away! Oh how i wish we could just freeze life sometimes. Wonder if that will be what Heaven will be like, frozen perfect moments. Over the weekend, I did the same thing – old computer, old photos. I may have shed a tear or two myself! It goes way too fast! I hope your computer gets fixed today!! all i can say is… I KNOW!!! why oh why cant i really treasure those moments when i am in the thick of them? only when i look back do i really, clearly see the wonder?! maybe thats why grandkids must be so amazing? hug!!! I am the same way when I look at the babes from the past. Where did time go? I think it is a good way to be reminded how quickly it speeds by. I need to press pause a little more often to really soak it in! 🙂 oh gosh Meg! Me too! We met our high school daughters boyfriend the other night and all I could think was wow, were we that goofy at that age!? oh my gosh. looking at YOUR photos made ME cry! what the heck! off to look at my own “days gone by” {thanks}
8:03 on my birthday is better than 6 AM .
how was your weekend?
Those all picture looking awesome. I really like this photography. I hope you enjoyed weekend. Above everything is perfect for that. I appreciate you. I’m working all weekend, but I enjoy every minute of it. I would love to see the excitement on the faces of my girls when they get home. ¡Que fotos tan bonitas haces! hope you are framing that portrait, it’s priceless! i love how the shirts “say” what each child is about! : ) love love love it! OH friend! I missed you birthday! Looks like it was simply lovely… {hugs} happy belated birthday! the picture annie made is so great! I love how everyone’s arms are behind their backs..so cute! It’s so good to hear that someone else is a crier too! I cried 2 times yesterday in my bfa class. Once was over the review of the notes! Come on now. But those kleenexes were so sweet. I love how a super thoughtful gift doesn’t have to be expensive. Although, I wouldn’t turn down some diamonds…. whatever you do, please frame that family portrait that Annie made for your birthday. Sounds *perfect* — yea! looks like your day was fabulous! and that family portrait is perfect. framer for sure. Glad you had a great birthday! Love the picture of the white mums. I put yellow on the deck this year. My mom brought me some beautiful dark, dark red ones that I put on the front porch in place of the geranium that DIED. Never had one die before. Also, love love love the container of rocks. My kids and I are always bringing rocks home from everywhere we go – even a parking lot – much to my husband’s chagrin. lol. But if they sparkle or a neat shape, home they come. Great family portrait! What does Talby’s shirt say? Soooo cute. 🙂 i am {so in love} with the family portrait. absolutely love. Happy birthday! love the pictures. Had to share that i had a dream that i met you in real life and asked..how do you do it all? and you just smiled!…too funny…i tried the k cup because i didn’t think it was green to use the plastic ones and because i missed my favorite brand of coffee {yumyum hazelnut} but it just didn’t taste the same. thanks for sharing. You HAVE TO get the family portrait framed! love your running groupies. you must frame that 🙂 1. Happy Birthday… Happy Birthday. This was a wonderful post. LOVED the family portrait. 🙂 This entire post made me so, so happy. It looks like you had a great birthday- you are surrounded by so many great people (especially your family!!)!! I love that you got a pack of tissues. We gave our mom a box of tissues one year for mother’s day “because no matter what we bought she would cry”. She didn’t see the humor. 🙁 So, is Lauren really taller than you? Thanks for the glimpse into your life with the kids….love it! Great weekend. Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that bring so much joy! You people enjoying well with so many things like sports,foods,stories,music,camp fire.I really like these all. make sure you frame that portrait that annie drew. It is simply priceless Happy Happy Birthday. Loved your photos. What a great day! Awesome birthday post. I come and go on a lot of blogs, but not yours — yours is solid. Thanks for sharing, it really is something I look forward to. 🙂 Happy belated birthday. Happy Birthday!!! Wish I was just turning 36!I just turned 44!!! Love your family portrait, it’s beautiful!:) Glad you had a good day! happy belated birthday meg! No comparison! Loved the handmade card. Hope you had a wonderful birthday! 🙂 What a fabulous b’day and weekend. Happy, Happy (belated) Birthday! Love the picture catch-up posts 🙂 I need to do more of those. I LURVE the family portrait. You all look like you’re hiding something behind your backs with the best guilty grins I’ve ever seen. I am SO glad you had a good birthday! That is awesome! So great! adorable everything 🙂 love how you all have your hands behind your backs in annie’s portrait 😉 Happy Belated Birthday!!! Haven’t talked with you in a while,need my Meg fix:) I’m still praying for you friend. Love your heart rock jar, I may need to copy that;) This comment if for Annie….please don’t ever stop creating…you have talent little Annie. That drawing is AWESOME. If I send you a pic of my family…would you draw us….happy to pay you in art and craft supplies ??? Looks like your birthday weekend was filled with just perfect things. So glad for you. Great great GREAT family portrait! Your sweet Annie is precious!! Loved all the fun photos! :0) Annie really drew that?? I’m 32 and I can’t draw that good! Annie is awesome… just like her mom! i can’t handle the family portrait. so cute…she can draw! i love that you got a bunch of polka-dot goodies. how many miles are you girls running? are you doing a 5K or anything soon? i need to get my butt in gear. Tell Annie she has a gift! How cute 🙂 Meg, sometimes I put my rocks from Lake Michigan in a shallow glass bowl/vase and cover them with water. Water brightens the colors of the rocks and soon little bubbles form in the water. At times I like to use it as a centerpiece – I add tealight candles to float in the water. What a great Birthday weekend! Love Annie’s family drawing! That is a framer for sure! All the best for an awesome year! It looks like you did have an awesome weekend! Happy birthday to you! I love Annie’s picture; everyone is so polite with their hands behind their backs 🙂 Looks like a wonderful bday! Love Annie’s family portrait. Thanks for your great posts! I feel like I need to rest now!! Reminds me of my sports mom days…I miss those chaotic weekends! Your dorky dog is so cute and you family is adorable. I was so happy to see that same moon in KANSAS this weekend! And I loooove Annie’s “hands behind the back” portrait. It’s perfect. looks like a great birthday weekend. happy birthday…again. I’m 29 and still can’t draw as well as Annie! What creativity and detail! Way to go, Annie. That looks like it could be the illustration in a book. Priceless gift right there. Love the kleenex box!! My kids are always teasing me about how much I cry about everything…sweet commercials, them getting older, baby pictures, the national anthem blah blah blah. They don’t believe it when I tell them that I never used to be that way UNTIL I had kids. It’s true!!! Oh that picture by Annie is the sweetest thing ever! She draws people a million times better then I do! 🙂 Love, love that card/portrait from Annie. So, so sweet! What a doll. Happy belated b-day. Annie rocks!!! Lovely list of random. I would think a saxophone would be much better for the ears when practicing. 😉 Happy Birthday a little belatedly, sweet girl! That does look like a good weekend. Mine was a softball tournament in Eastern Washington – yay for sunshine! – and then back to the drizzle on the west side of the mountains. Love Annie’s picture – that’s a keeper! Megs, I’m so thankful you had a great day!! by the way 36 is not old!! 🙂 Sounds like you had a very busy Birthday weekend!!! Love, love, love the family portrait! Glad you had a good weekend! Love, love, love the family portrait! Glad you had a good weekend! that family portrait is the best gift ever. FUN STUFF ALL!!!!! Megan–LOVE the card from Annie! And, the coconut cream cupcake–I am in love with anything coconut. Glad you had a great day-I will always remember your day as it is also my moms! Love the family portrait! I patiently waited for my 1st grandbaby… yeah…patient is not what I’d call me. My poor daughter! Praying that it comes soon! I almost have to stop reading your blog every time you mention running because I am not motivated enough to do so for than a month. Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you had a great day. Love the family portrait that Annie did! It’s too cute! She’s a great little artist! I work every weekend, but I enjoy every minute of it. I love seeing the excitement on my girls faces when I get home. LOVE the family portrait! Looks like something to frame. Wow, Annie! That picture is awesome!! happy birthday. i would guess that annie is an artist – that picture is so cute. i would love it if she would do one of my family ……….. i am serious it is beyond cute – what a great idea for a christmas card too! Huge fan of the Keurig Single Cup…just sayin’. We’d a great weekend! we stole yet another idea from you and had our very own outdoor movie night. We’re having a bit of a freak heatwave here in England, so it was a rare treat to be sitting outside on an October night. Happy Birthday! That family portrait is awesome. and i am all sugared out. what a fabulous weekend it was!!! and i took my big camera all the way to california and back and i took ZERO pictures with it. i took a handful with my phone. i was the last to go on at Blog Sugar. i thought my heart might jump out of my chest. i calmed down about halfway through…. i told the group about when God rocked my little blog world and showed me so clearly that He wanted me to blog for HIM and not myself…to be bold and OPEN about my faith. also that our blogs are a modern way of preaching on a hill like in the bible like the disciples did. i said "you have a plan that is unique to YOU….that God made for only YOU….created by HIM and for this……that NO ONE else can fulfill but YOU." all the glory to God that he would take a kansas girl in sparkle shoes all the way to Cali to share the gospel. thanks julie for being an awesome host…and fabulous shopping partner…and letting me hold your baby A LOT.
Blog Sugar was what my soul needed. You helped to be a part of the healing. Thank you. meg! thanks again for sharing part of your story with us at blog sugar. the lord used you, girl! so blessed. praise jesus. xo Thanks for sharing your blog sugar love. I can only imagine how many people you all blessed. I am so blessed by your blog. I read (as does everyone..I am guessing) everyday. You are a little part of my life and you didn’t even know it. Thank you for using this blog to be real, to show God’s love and power and to encourage us. Blessings.. I wish I could have been there, maybe next year!?! Glad you had an amazing time and all things went spectacularly. God sure is powerful and awesome!! Loved listening to you Sunday. So glad it went well. Answer to prayer! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing story! You truly touched my heart. I wish I would have come up to you to say hello! NEXT TIME 🙂 I’m going to follow you on Twitter right now! I am @callherhappy I love your sparkly heels. I have the same ones except flats and those were my wedding shoes!! 🙂 Your makeup looks so good! Did you do it yourself, or did you go have it done? Is it all Mac? I’d like to know details on the products, if you’re up for a post on that!!!! um. cannot believe you posted that picture. Any chance you have a written version of your talk that you’d consider posting? Wish I could have been there and I would love to read what you had to say! It was a fabulous weekend, all around. And you were one hot momma that night! Too bad we cant get drybar-red and Mac-ed every day huh? Sure would love to hear the story that you shared at Blog Sugar. I rarely comment, but I have always loved your blog and the fact that you have no reservations about sharing your faith. So glad that you are not afraid to share the good news through your blog! What an awesome way to spread the gospel! Congrats on making it through your presentation. I’m sure you were fabulous! YOu probably don’t remember me introducing myself…i was just all ga ga over your shoes. I was the one with the mullet and unibrow……and pleather pants. So thankful God is using you in a GREAT way through your blog. Very thankful to have found your blog….God is good. I remember telling a friend a couple of years ago that I didn’t know why, but I just wasn’t super comfortable blogging about my faith. Say WHAT??? I meant it. I thought it was totally fine. And I swear, within a month I heard the same truth. And I’m sure all of the decoratey people who started following me back when wondered what the heck happened. Hi Meg. I have been peeking in on your blog long before I knew anything about Blog Sugar. I went to Blog Sugar with my daughter Gennifer (who follows your blog too) and several other friends. I knew that I was going to be in the minority, being a woman who’s kids are grown, and have kids of their own. But still I was eager to go. I am so glad I did. I wanted to come say hello to you, and tell you how much your speech touched me. I could identify with so much of what you had to say. And by the way, when my kids all went back to school every Fall, I hosted a “Hooray, the kids are back in school” party every year!!! At any rate….the words you used, the tender emotion you shared, the raw truth to it all, truly struck a chord in my heart. You are obviously a very special lady. I just wanted to tell you that. it was a treat meeting you (and hearing you speak – of course!) and your shoes WERE ridiculously high – the pictures are blurry because i was shaking so bad in them haha! yes indeed… like sharing the gospel up on the hill. thanks for sharing your story with us sitting in the grass listening. i loved hearing you speak at blog sugar. Way to go – I knew you would do great! 🙂 Love the guest bedroom! What a fabulous idea. I’m new here, a friend sent me over because she knows I’ve been pondering my purpose for blogging and suggested that your words might help. Did they ever! Glad to have found you, love your photos and you honesty. You spoke about God at a blog conv? You are the bravest, most authentic person. I admire you. I wasn’t at BlogSugar to watch you share your story. I’m pretty sure you have never even heard of myself let alone my blog. But I visit your “Whatever” world atleast daily because you’re inspiring in everything that you do. Even through the simplicity of being blah (in reference to your vlog you did just shortly ago), it’s shows that even those that have it together can sometimes…not. So thank you. I’m praying that the next time you speak at a conference I’ll be able to sit in the crowd to listen and that maybe, fingers crossed, I’ll be able to make the list for Craft Week next year. Megs on Twitter. Whoop whoop! Megs on Twitter. Whoop whoop!! You touched each and every heart on Sunday. The tears, the earring fiasco, the sparkle shoes, I keep hearing your voice in my head when you were telling us that at one point you believed you were “Awesome!” in that cute little sing song voice of yours. So glad I didn’t have to burp for you like i said I would,thank you for doing something that was way out of your comfort zone. It was amazing! Meg it was SO great hearing you speak!! I loved it!! I’m totally not that mom either. hahaha My heart is full and I’m inspired after a weekend spending time with you and so many other amazing women bloggers!! Meg, thank you SO, SO much for speaking at Blog Sugar. You spoke right to my heart and I love you for that. It was so awesome meeting and chatting with you. Hope to see you in January! 😉 Maybe I can teach you how to make a ‘hoot’. So glad I got to meet you and spend the weekend getting to know you 🙂 you were fabulous….I loved your shoes, and your hair!!!!!!! great pix, even without your fancy camera. Go, Meg, go…. You are awesome!! AMEN SISTER, preach it! 😉 I don’t blog but it is an awesome way for God to work through us women who were, previously, voiceless & so completely occupied with Mommyhood. You go, girl! your trip sounds awesome… 1. I would like to “like” Kimberlee’s comment for talking about urinals. How awesome is it that you had such an amazing time with some amazing women? Pretty awesome … ain’t that just like our God? YEP! Glad you’re back … I’ve missed you! 🙂 How awesome is it that you had such an amazing time with some amazing women? Pretty awesome … ain’t that just like our God? YEP! Glad you’re back … I’ve missed you! 🙂 i have meetings in LA a lot (almost three hours from my house) and i have dreamed about just hitting the road and hitting the dry bar when i get there. sigh. someday. and i heard it was only $20 bucks – which is cheap when you need to look all professional and together after a 3 hour drive – after getting up at 4 in the morning. loved your talk at blog sugar…so glad to hear your words of encouragement and your story in person…and though i only met you briefly in person, I’m glad i will continue to get to know you on your blog…keep doing what your doing…xoxo *laura* You rock my socks. Cool Meg!! This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine, right? What an inspiration you are to me! God used you. You were completely amazing! Thank you so much for coming and talking to us! Amen, Sister! 🙂 … if it’s not for Him, what’s the point, right? All else is futile. Glad you and Kim got to go! Welcome back! You were missed:) Can’t wait to here more and more about your amazing weekend…you are an inspiration to all of us! That might be my favorite picture of us together…urinals and all. you looked like a million bucks at blogsugar. your beautiful heart matches your outward beauty, and i know you pulled on some heartstrings. there’s going to be a wave, in blogging, of letting go of “stuff” and selfishness and a move toward writing about what God wants us to write about. thank you for being our ringleader. thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your heart. I was at Blog Sugar 11 and I have to say your words touched me so much! I have been processing what you shared with us and so wish I had connected with you on Sunday. And BTW LOVE the shoes! 🙂 it is late Would love to have been there. But since I wasn’t 🙁 would love to hear more 🙂 Thanks for the beautiful reminder! I decided in the beginning that I would blog as long as God was in it. And that’s something I don’t ever want to forget! um hold it. if you got the same curtains as shauna did from ikea, i have em too. love them. my husband, sadly, does not. for the last 4 years. it was great to play in the OC this weekend with you. thanks for comin to our hood. Meg, you are great. So fun spending the weekend with you! Hi Meg! It was such a pleasure to be at Blog Sugar and to hear you speak! You definitely rocked it!!! 🙂 Meg, thank you for speaking at Blog Sugar…you were super amazing. You made me want to be a better blogger and a blogger that remembers to blog for God’s good. I started my blog wanting God to lead the way and sometimes I forget that. Thanks for the reminder. You are awesome and so are your sparkly shoes 🙂 Glad to hear you had a great time…welcome home! Welcome to twitter. 🙂 I tweet too. @Rottenstinker sister. i like you. solo deo gloria. Wow. Amazing. You are so inspiring and thanks for keeping it real. What a wonderful weekend!! I love the verse artwork in Julie’s guest room……..any idea where she got it? Meg – what you said was awesome. I loved getting to spend time with you and get to know you a bit this weekend. Thanks for letting me buy the same shirt as you at Old Navy, by the way. so happy i got to hug you. But what did you wear with those shoes?? SO glad you had so much fun! I am going to check out your twitter now! I got a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye reading this. I love the way God works. He is reaching the masses through fabulous blogs like yours. Keep shining your light, Meg. I hope you know how awesome you are! WoW!!!!!! This is so amazing to hear right now, because for awhile now I have been feeling lead to start my own blog, and I knew that thru having a blog and sharing many stories of my life and where God has brought me and my family, and keeping much Faith no matter what come our way that really there is so much to share with the world, and I am praying about this, and have already had several people tell me that I should start my own blog for other reasons as how I love decorating, baking, and taking care of my four Beautiful daughter’s, that is fine but I feel I could help someone out there that feels like they are ready to give up and that nobody cares! Thank you for sharing this, and It is so awesome that you were able to have so much fun and more importantly you talked about God! Super AWESOME… Looks like a wonderful was had by all! |

it is a total “Jesus moment” because i’ve been struggling with wilder having to get glasses. his glasses will probably be here by friday and my heart is just so sad about it. he will look cute (duh), but i’m just so sad that we GAVE him a genetic thing he didn’t need. i spend all my time trying to give him things he NEEDS, not what he doesn’t need.
