around my home // succulent sanctuary

As of now our backyard is basically dirt and trees.
Nothing wrong with that, easy to maintain that way.
Although I do long for some rich green grass and a fun area for backyard entertaining, I happy with what we have at this point.
I finally decided to add a cute little area to bring some life to it out there.
Space to retreat to for coffee or watching the kids play.
Having fun pulling it all together and enjoying it as well.
Can you tell that I might like succulents....

 

 

 

 

captured | moments

 

Being a mom I feel it is sometimes hard to juggle our favorite past times.

They sometimes get lost in the hustle of life.

I use to be upset about it- I just want to be able to do it all. But sometimes we can't. And that's ok [!]

And I am finally okay with not doing it all. I feel like it takes so much pressure off myself and I can really enjoy being in the moment with my kids and/or my husband.

Today I found a moment to pick up my camera- it's been so many months since I was behind it. After a few clicks, I could feel that wave of inspiration run through me. Oh how I have missed this.

I have missed capturing passing moments.

While I am totally ok with not being to do all, I think it also important to still enjoy those passions. I love photography and wish I could do it all day everyday (maybe one day I can). When I find these small windows I definitely will take them and run with it.
