Finding joy in the simple things...

Oh to have the innocence of a child, where the world is your playground. So many of us lose that sense of wonder as we get older, it's sad really. The world is such a beautiful place and I find so much inspiration being outside and exploring...

Jojo chasing butterflies, a girl after my own heart...more of her pretty pictures next week!

I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday, get out there and take in the beauty around you! And I'd love to see what pretty places you all find, just tag me on Instagram so I can share in the excitement.

Living in the moment...

One of my greatest fears in life is to become too comfortable (read: numb to the world.) I try my best to live in the moment...not wish my days away. It can be hard when the days seem long and things get hard (of course we all have our struggles), but I try my best to be still and find the beauty in the here and now...

Some days go way too fast, especially since Dave and I are usually hard at work in our offices working on various things online during the day...next thing I know I look down and it's 7:00...how?!

So this week I'm going to work on taking a few more breaks to step away from the computer (don't worry I'll still be around) and put a little bit more focus and perspective on life. I plan to take picture walks to really soak up the nature around me, read, cook more, watch tv less, and of course spend time doing more activities with my husband (like board games) that we love so much...
