hello hello! i'm cat, and this is my (our) blog. i write a lot about motherhood and try to find the creative in our day to day lives. i also may share photo sessions as they come my way or a photos series i may be doing as a personal project. maybe a new recipe we're all loving at the moment. instagrams and dr. seuss quotes. this is also a space for me to just write. i've always been a lover of words. grab a cuppa brew and have a browse. cheers.

happy birthday to our little man! in the past few days we’ve been telling him it’s his birthday coming up, and his response has been to grunt and then hit or kick. so i’m not sure what that means but we are celebrating theo today anyways!

when i found out i was having a boy, i was a little bit surprised because i so wanted another little girl. it’s all i knew at that point. but, i am so, so happy that God had other plans, because i love my boy and love everything about having a boy. it’s so fun to see how different he is from his sister in certain ways, and so much the same in others. and all his own person at the same time. he is a fierce, determined little boy, but will cry at the drop of a hat if he senses he is in trouble or feels alone. i love that sensitive side of him, probably because i can so relate because he gets it from me. and, like evelyn, we love his hair :)

happy birthday wubbsy bubbsy! we love you!

it’s odd, and amazing, to watch my little people grow into the people they will become. their preferences, idiosyncrasies and traits. the way he gets so mad when he’s embarrassed, and the way she likes her cake. to this day i prefer vanilla icing and rainbow sprinkles. i can already see we are so much alike.

with one kid just turning four and the other about to be two, i had to remind myself that this is just what happens: time moves on. kids grow up. i won’t be mommy forever. always mom, but not little-hand-wrapped-around-my-neck mommy for long. which is why i take pictures. to remember. and smile.
