he loves me…he loves me not…he loves me

A simple love, a simple flower. He loves me as his mom, the one who holds his hand. Why does it pass so quickly? The hugs, the laughs and the tears give me immeasurable pleasure. I wish I could bottle this time forever. He loves me and this I will always treasure.

Now please visit the wonderfully inspiring blog of Elaine Melko, Chicago to see her floral photographs.

I’m so glad that I am participating in this project with a fabulous group of photographers. This year is flying by – summer break is right around the corner for us. And because of this project I have a few memories captured. This day was just another day at home with a birthday party mixed in. I didn’t get started shooting this day until after the party but there was still enough going on to make it a full day.

Some face painting and bubbles from the neighbor’s birthday party.

We are trying to teach our daughter about finances, saving and spending wisely. Counting her dough so she can put it in the bank.

This is commonly part of her day – she loves drawing and being creative.

Almost an everyday event for her – dressing up and being girly. She raided my closet today.

A large portion of our day was cleaning the house – and I must say that my husband is a great helper in washing our floors. Thank you honey! I needed a shot of the clean floors because generally you’ll find something smeared on it!

My contribution was sorting and throwing away the bazillion piles of “stuff” on every surface you could find. Drives me batty! Here is the before and after of our cleaning efforts. Feels like a Sesame Street game – find what is missing between the two photos.

The first purchase of the year from the “ice cream guy”. The ever so healthy and natural Sponge Bob bar. :/ I must admit this truck looks a bit old (and perhaps sketchy). Far from the shiny, sparkly trucks I remember growing up. Wait a minute. It’s probably the same truck! I know it’s Texas but this truck is out and about ALL year long even in the winter. It’s funny I don’t ever see him in the winter but I hear the truck. Seems like it should be a Seinfeld episode.

Cars! This is part of his day everyday. He loves them and never tires of playing with them.

An after-dinner snack to satisfy the sweet tooth.

Thank you for allowing me to share my day with you. Please continue on to see my talented friend Roxanne Bappe | Imaging Rox | Central Iowa Photographer and her 10 on 10 for May.

Living simply makes loving simple. – bell hooks When my life is simple, uncluttered, organized and free from distractions, I am the happiest. I strive to keep my life simple but it is a battle with so much vying for my attention, energy, mind and money. Focus on the here and now. Love those around [...]

Sweet sixteen! This is my weekly Wednesday photo that has a different theme every week and I am joined by a group of talented and fun photographers. This week’s theme is “colorful” and I couldn’t think of a more colorful place to go than to the amusement park! This is Kiddie Acres and it is [...]

So many delicious choices for this week’s theme. After perusing the produce department, I decided upon the pineapple. I thought it would be very pretty to photograph such a richly textured fruit (that and the fact that it was on sale). It also may be one of the more neglected fruits in the world of [...]

This photograph is not what I would consider as illustrating nature in a traditional sense. But I just loved this photograph. The water is so fresh, clean and brilliant. This water *is* from manmade fountains but it’s still water, right? Although we did not come prepared to play in the fountains I could not undermine [...]

Here we are again for another 10 on 10! This has been perfect to select one day a month to dedicate to photography and documenting my day. The rundown of my day was: After breakfast the kids played a game with a display of the winning gameboard. Notice the plaid overkill outfit that sister picked [...]

We have arrived into the second quarter of 52 wednesdays for 2012. This fun and talented group should be proud. I know I am for the fact that 12 of my 13 photos were taken new every week! Maybe I’ll allow myself a Mulligan every quarter. I really wasn’t sure what I was going to [...]

I love spring and the fresh beginnings it signifies. Everything is blooming around me and it brings a fresh outlook on life. Now is the time to bring change and renewal into my life. I know that attitude could really happen any other time of the year but for some reason it is just natural [...]
