costumes

on little ones
who then can imagine
that they are Robin Hood.
and swing their swords
and fend off robbers.

or pirates
with their swash buckling swords
and painted faces
and ripped shirts
looking for treasure.

or the wannabe business man
who looked so bold
and strong
and ready to take on the world.

or simple things.
like eggs and tarragon
that put together become beautiful things.
much like life 
it’s the little moments that become the big life moments.
little red riding hood
or also known as my daughter Grace.
I found this one on my instagram feed
{it’s a couple weeks old now}
I’ve been trying to taking pics with my kids everyday.
this little face
so content at the table
to work and paint and create.
His intense focus reminds me to focus.
the bear picture
that has been on Brennan’s door 
since he was as little as Samuel above.
I just don’t have the heart to take it down.
social media channels
really thankful for the variety of ways to stay connected with you all
besides instagram – finding_joy
you can connect with me 
{all of those are links}
oh yes, and a couple more sweet costumes
like my sailor inspired daughter
Grace
with her cute pony tail
and cheerful smile

a Samuel the Pooh Bear
couldn’t be any more adorable
or cuddly.

and these are this week’s favorite things.

Want to join? It’s intentional gratitude.

These photos are just amazing. Really got me to stop and contemplate…something that I sometimes find hard to do on the internet. Found you from Lisa Nolan’s facebook page for bloggers. So glad I did!
