❤{Celebrate ALL the Moments}❤

I will always be an advocate of celebrating the ordinary. It's in these moments, you create memories, find joy, fall in love a little more and heal your soul. Mother's Day was recently, and while my family made it a special day, it was also in an ordinary moment that I captured who Paddy and Mack are "in the moment" and who they are growing to be.

Paddy is quickly becoming a teenager. I think about this and wonder how time went so quickly. Mack is hitting double digits and each day her strength and confidence amazes and inspires me. They are just simply amazing. I know that word gets so overused these days, I simply don't have another adjective that fits them at the moment. 

I used some fantastic tags from Bella Creationz & Cherry Red and Olive Green twine from the always fabulous Timeless Twine to document this everyday moment. 

Here's a few closeups ❤

❤{Choose Happy} ❤

There's so much chaos and noise in this life. It's super easy to get caught up in it. It's easy to feel weighted, heavy, just overall down. You have to choose happy. You have to make the choice to put it all away for a little bit and do something uplifting. We did that. We took the kids to the beach and just enjoyed the day. No pressures, no expectations, just hanging out, the four of us, our little family unit. We have to make the most of these short little lives. It's hard somedays, some days are just a flat out struggle, but as the saying goes, it's up to you to find happiness in each day. Choose  ❤HAPPY❤ even when it's hard.

I created a layout about the beach.  I have so many great pictures of the day. I couldn't wait to scrap them. I used Bubblegum Pink, Lemonade Yellow, Aqua Blue and some awesome sequins...all of which you can pick up at the Etsy Store!
