That scarf Briar is wear is my granddad's. My momma's dadddy. I called him Papaw. Robert Beckwith from Belzoni, MS.  I remember him grabbing this scarf for his daily walks when it was cool outside.

New Year we didn't have resolutions but I did make a bucket list.

I'm proud to say that I've learned how to make bread!!!!

I'll add that in a post somewhere b/c it's really yummy and you should know how to make it too.


The kids are doing zoom classes this semester and joined a ninja course. We tried the open gym here in town and quickly realized that while yes they're in age, our kids have outgrown this. Thankfully in the Braintree forum other mom's posted about a ninja warrior class in the city.  I see I don't even have those photos loaded in the summary above. Let me get that added.

A dynamic sequence showing parkour movements on a dark wall.
A series of gymnastic movements captured on red and white training equipment.

 

I hope this is a core memory for all of you.


I get one chance to be a good mother to you guys. One chance to say yes while you want to be near us, as parents. I know there's going to be a day you'll be too grown for this.

So today.... YES please come.

Black Dog Farm. We've been introduced to a local farm lady, Rachel. Who's absolutely fantastic and on our very first visit let the kids drive the tractor. She asked if I'd consider doing photos for a calendar, I hope she's serious about that. It sounds fun.

 

Dream Client Opportunity

 

Would you like to have a photographer in your pocket at a discount. A reoccurring month, bi-monthly, or even every 3 months family session,  and at the end of the year you hold an album that IS included in the price.

You can include all your mundane moments, birthdays, holiday traditions, you can hold something very special at the end of the year without even having to make it, AND get all the galleries as we go.


That'd be so cool to make for a few chosen families.
