Ahhh January. I will forever remember you as the month mother nature kicked our butts and kept us hibernating indoors. Most of the month was spent playing games, doing crafts, making new recipes and just enjoying plain old quality family time. So I guess there is an upside to everything. This was also the month that I read a great book "Hands Free Mama" and decided that I too wanted to live my life being present. Now I'm obviously not perfect but I can say I'm doing pretty darn good. First thing in the morning I leave my phone upstairs so that I'm not tempted to check anything on it. Which I've come to the conclusion is not very important. And I do my best to do anything computer related in the evening when the kids are "supposed" to be sleeping. I have to say these baby steps are actually huge in my book. When you slow down you notice everything about your children and it's magnificent. So this months collection of images are a little different for me. I didn't worry if they were perfectly focused, or staged, or well lit. I literally casually grabbed my camera and shot them for fun. Which is why I started my obsession with photography in the first place♥
