  • I’m well known for my Irish goodbyes but I’ve seen on this app others post a pic to let you know they’re taking a social media break...so I’m trying that out. - First I tried with this pic, I even bought some filters that I hoped would make my smile less constipated, Wallis less like she wasn’t trying to escape, and Andrew less like he needed more blood...but alas in the end I went with ol’faithful black and white. 👍🏼 - The thing is, this month marks a year since my miscarriage and if you’ve been following along, we’re now dealing with the loss of our home. And well, I’m just too sad and I don’t think social media is good for sad. So instead of deleting, I’m taking a break but wanted to say to you all, I hope you have a wonderful autumn and coming holidays. 😘
  • Sound On! 🔈 Wallis had just turned 10 months here and I shot this video in 10 minutes, ha! She’s always been a mover! 😍😍😍😍 - I know I’ve been doing a lot of #throwbacks lately but with everything we’re dealing with, I’ve been so low and watching Wallis makes me happy, so that’s what I’m doing. 💘 #wednesdayswithwallis #thislittlelightofmine #cameramama #darlingmovement #simplychildren #magicofchildhood #momtogs #documentyourdays #dailyparenting #10monthsold
  • This is one of my favorite autumn pics of my wee gnome! She was only #11months and I wish I could kiss those grumpy cheeks again. Luckily, she hasn’t fully lost them yet. 🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁 Andrew and I nearly bought a piece of land this week but backed out. They wanted too much and we didn’t want it enough. It gave us pause though and how we were rushing to find our new start since finding out we’re having to sell our house. - We feel so much anxiety about it all, but we had a long talk and realized the path to our “new start” is going to be slow, we must first sell our home, then we are going to move in with my parents (I haven’t lived with them since I was 18 😬🤞🏼) and take our time, and consider all the things we never considered 8 years ago when we bought our first home. - With Wallis here, so much of how we look at life has changed. We need to mourn what we’re losing first, before we make any kind of big decisions. And now that we’ve committed to slowing down, I feel more prepared...funny how that happens. Here’s to the start of fall and having no idea what the future holds. ❤️ #wednesdayswithwallis #cameramama #thislittlelightofmine #flashesofdelight #autumnmoments #momswithcameras
  • Nothing really happens in this little video clip of Wallis visiting the pumpkins last year, but today she turned #33months and here, she was #22months and it just you know, hurts a little. Days go and she’s so sweet and small and lovely and even though all of that still applies today - it doesn’t keep me from yesterday. 🌼🍂🍁 Dress by @winterwaterfactory #wednesdayswithwallis #thislittlelightofmine #cameramama #flashesofdelight
  • Though working from home is a daily challenge while being a full-time mom, it’s also one of my greatest blessings because I see all these preschool pictures coming through my feed - and I know for some it’s a choice but for many it’s a must...so with great gratitude, we have no plans until kindergarten and even then I think, is it really necessary? What can’t she learn in a garden? 🧐😉👩🏼‍🌾 #wednesdayswithwallis #candidchildhood #letthembelittle #cameramama #momswithcamera #kidsinnature #freshairandfreedom #32monthsold
  • I spent $$ on a bonnet for her, for the summer, and then spontaneously bought this cheap straw hat...she refused to wear the bonnet and hasn’t taken the straw hat off...toddlers, the more you know of parenthood. 😉🌈⭐️ #wednesdayswithwallis #candidchildhood #letthembelittle #cameramama #32monthsold
  • This pic should be titled, “my mom tried to get me to recreate an image from last summer (swipe to see 1.5 yr old Wallis vs. 2.5) but I refused to do anything she asked and instead choose to face forward and scowl at the flower I picked.” 🤨🤦‍♀️👍🏼 - Being a mom means whatever you ask, the opposite you shall receive. The other day I was tying this ribbon that had come undone and as I was tying it Wallis followed behind me untying it saying, “no, untie” because that’s my life now. 😉🙃 #wednesdayswithwallis #loveherso #flowergarden #candidchildhood #candidmotherhood #cameramama #toddler
  • Last year we were deep in the madness that is painting the entire exterior of our old home and garage (swipe to see it). That was a nightmare, but oh how much sweeter it is to look at it now, knowing that’s behind us, and that we did it ourselves. 💪🏼 — As most of you know, we’re having to sell this home, our dream home. The home we thought we’d grow old in and the home we’ve worked so hard on, from the soil that surrounds it to the tiny cracks in the wood that holds it. We were just getting to the fun parts of the interior, after having finally completed most of the exterior issues...but so it goes. — I am a religious and a spiritual person, but my walk with God is not without doubt. So having to face something we were not at all mentally or emotionally prepared for, has me focusing on the moments in my life that I truly believe God was there. I am hoping by doing so, that I might believe He is here now, and helping us to move forward, accept and start again. I fear that my words will seem too self focused, I know so many more are suffering much greater losses and much greater heartache, but behind the quietness of this photograph are 2.5 people, 2 dogs and a bright light we will miss tremendously. 💔 #thisigrow #oldhouse #thisoldhouse #farmhouse #oldfarmhouse #oldhomelove #oldhome #flowergarden #countrygarden #bhgsummer #hydrangeas #inmygarden #flowergardens #flowergardening #gardening #gardener
  • Thank you for all of your sweet comments (and private messages) from my last post! - I seem to be the kind of person that walks into adversity like it’s my job. I’ve always told my husband that without me around he’d be all, clear skies ahead! 😅 - And clearly I am saying all this with full awareness that there are much worse circumstances, and at least we have our health, and jobs. But also, I can still be devastated and angry. Which I am and will be, for a very long time. - My husband is hoping things will turnaround and Wallis continues to remind us that home is wherever she’s making a poop joke. But still, 😢 #thisigrow #hydrangeas #countrygarden #flowergarden #flowergardener #flowergardening #summerflowers #inmygarden
  • I don’t know where to begin...as if this summer couldn’t get worse with the never-ending hard rain, we received some news that has left us breathless. - We might be forced to sell our dream home, my dream garden and our hearts are broken. It might seem silly to love something so much and as a child that grew up moving every 4 years, I understand — but we’ve poured our souls into our home. We have worked so desperately hard on our old house and built a garden from nothing but chaos and severe neglect. - We don’t take vacations, we don’t buy new clothes etc...we fix our home and work in our garden and now, we’re faced with starting over, something we never even imagined possible because our eyes have been transfixed on what we know this place could be and a goal we were pushing ourselves towards, slow and steady...but always forward. - I can’t talk about what’s happening because it’s still unfolding, but I have woken up every night for a week at exactly 3 am with my chest pounding, fully panicked over it all, my mind spinning trying to grasp at one thing to steady my focus. I have cried and cried. Sorry to be vague, sorry to be dramatic to some - my eyes have never been rose-tinted to where we live, and even how much we still have to do...but we literally moved for this home, altered our lives and now 7 years later, it could all be over. 💔 #thisigrow #oldhomelove #farmhouse #flowergarden #flowergardening #inmygarden #oldhouse #oldhouselove #countrygarden
  • Another 90 degree day and another picture of hydrangeas. What can I say? I’m stuck in a summer loop 💙 - Also, anyone else feel like they have a gnat infestation outside...it’s driving me bonkers. I don’t remember it ever being this bad, I can barely open my eyes while gardening. 🧐😩 #thisigrow #countrygarden #flowergardening #inmygarden #inmygardentoday #flowergarden #hydrangeas #hydrangea #howdoesyourgardengrow
  • Wallis wakes up at 5:30 every day...often earlier. Even though I wish it were later, it does mean I’m in my garden during its best hour...😴🦄💜 #thisigrow #countrygarden #flowergardening #inmygarden #inmygardentoday #howdoesyourgardengrow #gardenflowers #hydrangeas #summerflowers
