Brooklyne

I'm a mom first. Being a mom takes precedence over everything else. At times it can seem so overwhelming. I can get so consumed in tending to everyone else that, at times, I feel I lose myself. This blog has really helped bring balance back to my life. (although, it does cause more sleepless nights than I'd like) It's something for me... Something I love. Being a mom is the toughest, selfless, thankless (at times) job I've ever done. Many days I feel defeated. My favorite saying is that "being a parent doesn't come with a handbook". So with that in mind everyday I get up and try again. To be a better mother and partner. I try not to dwell on things and can't change and I try not to take life to seriously.  When I look at my children i can't help but feel blessed. Blessed to see the strides they make first hand. Blessed to be able to create and reinforce a great bond with them. Blessed that they are mine. This is Brooklyne. My most recent obsession. The youngest of my two.. Here she is just about nine months. On this day we attempted to have a mini photo shot at home. I'm new to this but i think i got a few good shots.
