You Capture - Motherhood
Motherhood is so many things. In my short two years as a mother I've found it to be the most exciting, fun, frustrating, rewarding and love-filled experience of my life.
The You Capture photo challenge this week was Motherhood, and I certainly found it quite challenging.
I wanted to do a self portrait with Andrew but the last time I got my tripod out to attempt a self portrait with my child he ran off and knocked over my camera setup breaking my favorite lens.
It certainly wasn't his fault, but I was sad and I've been very hesitant to put my camera in such a vulnerable position ever since.
So I noticed his shoes casually placed on my House Beautiful and I just laughed. If that doesn't show the dichotomy of motherhood I don't know what does. I want a beautiful house, but it's full of life - little boy shoes, tractors and cars, Thomas the Train books and sippy cups.
But maybe these things just add to the beauty.
I also wanted to share a beautiful shot from my most recent baby shoot.
Ah, newborn baby love. It's the best.

LOVE the last shot! And the first one too, as a matter of fact. Funny how having a kid changes how you view a clean, put-together house. :)

The shoes photo really does capture motherhood well. I feel the same way, I try to make the house look nice, but I find shoes everywhere!

Oh no, I probably would have died had that happen to me. Lesson learned for sure! Such a cute shot!

love the shot of the shoes contrasting with the magazine - soo true. I often have to give up my standards and ideals of decor and housekeeping in priority of my children's "home"
