2012 was a big year for us. Big being an understatement. Honestly I don’t even know where to begin with it, so I’ll just put this out there…having Weston join our family…having him after thousands of hours of waiting for a baby….after millions of prayers to get pregnant…after the joy of delivery and seeing my boys all together…I am so filled.
Filled to my very edges.
I am full of gratitude and joy and a sense of completion. I am so blessed. To state it plainly…as a mother, Will has taught me how to love. And as a mother, Weston has taught me the joy of being loved. One thing I had to work at, claw toward, inch by inch and day by day…the other was completely free, unexpected and took my breath away. Both needed. Both priceless. Both gifts from God. So needless to say, 2012 was amazing. So amazing that it’s hard to imagine how 2013 could be even better…or what I could do to change…because let’s be honest, nobody thinks about self-improvements when they are experiencing some of the most exhilaratingly happy moments of their life. That would be like making a to-do list while skydiving. I’m fairly certain that most folks just scream and hold on and try not to drool on their tandem instructor. Because that would make things awkward after landing.
So instead of making resolutions that I’ll probably break….like tomorrow, I am gonna share some goals for the blog. Let’s go…
GOAL #1 – To choose my family over you guys.
I love y’all. I do. You are like marshmallows in my Lucky Charms. But sadly, you are gonna get the short end of the stick over my family every single time. You see, in the very deepest part of my heart, I want my legacy to be one thing…my children. (ok, so technically that is two things but let’s not start doing mathematics…I don’t have a calculator handy). And here’s the thing…this blog is not my life. This blog is not irrelevant to me but it’s definitely not everything. One day it’ll be gone. Yup. I can pretty much guarantee that blogging in general will probably fade away…one day.
And it hurts to know that in the past year there were times when I chose my laptop over my child. It’s not something I’m proud of. I hate that I could have been on the floor making awesome tunnels out of cereal boxes for matchbox cars to zoom through but instead I spent that time Pinteresting (totally a verb), or tweaking a post, or fretting over sticking my foot in my mouth because I am not up on current events (happens more than I care to admit). Frankly, I just want to be a really super mom. One that really focuses on enjoying my boys and investing in our quality time and pours my heart into our time together not because I want to blog about the cool craft we created without messes but because my boys are worth it.
Don’t worry – I’m not going anywhere…but this is more of a mental change for me. Making that concious effort to wrestle when I feel tired, smile when the glitter is spilled everywhere, and to not allow my brain to wander while I have the best two things growing up right in front of me. And to put the iphone the freak down because nothing on Instagram or Facebook or the comment section is as important as the cooing of Weston or the story from Will about the ‘truck-train’ that hit a ‘woger towah’ and went ‘boom-crash-ahhhh!’
GOAL #2 – To be brave enough to be me.
Let’s just be honest…I’m weird. I always have been. Even in infancy. Just ask my mother. I know that not everyone is gonna like me. In fact, it’s more likely that you won’t like me. I’m difficult. And moody. And can be inappropriate, critical and overly sensitive and just plain weird. really really weird. And being all those things (and knowing it), also makes me insecure. But I don’t want my flaws to feed my fears. I want to continue to bare my soul to you guys…sortof like I did with writing about infertility and my struggle slash victory with breastfeeding. So that’s a big goal this year, to bare the weirdness. misspellings and all.
GOAL #3 – To organize one space a month.
I’m terrible at organization. Horrible. My clutter eats other people’s clutter for breakfast. And I hoard. I am a terrible hoarder. Don’t throw away all that torn up post-Christmas tissue paper! I will fold it and save it in my other boxes of crinkled old torn tissue paper because one day I might need to craft the world’s largest toddler tissue paper art project! And it will be glorious! Seriously Katie, get a freaking grip. Actually scratch that. Loosen the grip as you throw stuff away, donate it, and plain ole purge. I need to stick my proverbial finger down my house’s proverbial throat and purge the toxins that are eating my storage space alive. I figure that I could clean up one space a month….like our workroom (pictured above) that looks like a bomb went off….why did I have Jeremy dumpster dive for my parents neighbors porch scraps? oh right…so I could save it for a year in our basement doing nothing of course. After seeing John clean up his basement, we are feeling inspired. Already bought our Bagster and now we just gotta fill it up! Oh and not only does our house need some organizing but so does this blog and my computer. My important photos are being suffocated by my blurry, over-exposed, illtimed ones. Let’s get on that this year.
So those are my three goals. Not very fancy. Normal stuff. What’s yours?
i am so with you on the goal setting instead of resolutions…and so on board with every single one you posted. i’m guilty of all of them, as well. oh, and the not sleeping bc i have to keep updated with social media, even though i’ve seriously been checking it all day..ha! -and it’s 3am and i’m commenting. sigh. anyway, your words touch me every time, and i truly hope, if anything, you achieve the first two goals beyond 100%. behind ya all the way, bower!
I totally connected with this post and love how you express yourself. So real and genuine. The overflowing joy you speak of is what I’ve been feeling since our second child was born in September, well before, just more complete these days. What an inspiration you are. Thanks for sharing your goodness.
I’m a new reader and I look forward to reading more in the late hours of the evening throughout the coming year, as I resolve to put my wee ones first too. Time just passes too quickly and I want to savor the moments, the good, the bad & the ugly. They all mean the world to me.
This is great! Have you ever seen any if the “My Three Words” videos? YouTube it! I decided to do a twist on it and make MY three words be my New Year’s “resolution.” Three things in my life that I really need to work on. Mine are: Connect (like you, I need to consciously put the iPhone down- family first!), Health (just overall, not a loose-20-lbs-by-tomorrow type of goal. Baby steps eating healthy, being active), and Gratitude (being more vocal with my gratitude be it saying it more frequently or writing little notes).
Katie, you are fabulous! Your honesty and your ‘weirdness’ (which is not weirdness but personality), your passion, self-confessed disorganisation and overflowing love for your family, is to be admired. Your post about the new year’s resolutions resonated with me – I have very similar hopes for the year – at the very core is my determination to give my family the very best of me. I too have millions of projects either on-the-go or on my to-do list. In my spare time I do newborn and family photography and sadly, photos of my own children are more often than not hiding on my hard drive. We have also been blessed, eight weeks ago, with the birth of our beautiful daughter, our third gorgeous girl. I am so thankful for my family and always wish I had more time to simply BE with them, without distraction. This is the year!! While I’m rambling, let me add that I love your blog – I’ve laughed and cried with you, all the way from Australia, so I am pleased you are not going anywhere, but applaud you for your decision to put your boys first. Sorry, this is so long, I don’t know the meaning of brief…
You are too too wonderful, lady. My biggest goal this year is similar in that I just need to put down the freaking phone or laptop and play with my daughter. I don’t know why I’m checking my Facebook, Instagram or email every 2 minutes because seriously, 99.6% of the time, there is nothing new and 100% of the time there is nothing more important than my little girl. It’s like some crazy lazy addiction – and I don’t like it. One of my other goals is to work on my mental health issues. Loads of love to your family, thank you for sharing your life with us x
Love the honesty of this post! I’m sure so many others struggle with this balance and pull as well.
PS. I love reading your blog because you are honest & yourself, so don’t be afraid. We are all weird and probably a little crazy, keeps life interesting & our hubbies on their toes 🙂
You’re my all-time favorite blog and I look forward to all your posts! I’ll take any post I can get from you, whether it’s one a week or one a month!
Way to go! I feel like it helps to put your goals out there like that. What great goals they are. I think it is awesome, and inspiring for so many, to make your #1 goal putting down the laptop/iPhone and focus on your family. I don’t think enough people do that now. Good luck in 2013!
I love your space! It reminds me of a class I took in college. It was such a hazard for us to be in there, but we loved it! Yes, it is hard to make time for family and blogging. I don’t even blog that much!!! My daughter comes in all the time telling me, “no Mommy…I don’t want you to work”. 🙁 Good luck with your new year goals! I’m sure they will work out for you. It sounds like you have a very strong support system to help you.
Wow you’re weird. Does that help? I don’t actually think you’re that weird, I just thought I’d encourage your 2nd goal.
We’re with you on organizing spaces.. my neighbor thinks my basement looks like a tornado hit a Home Depot.
I’ve just got one thing to say: go on with your weird self! In the words of Kevin Hart “You do you, boo-boo. You do you.” (Also, take comfort in the fact that some of your readers are weird too.) And my goal for this year? Keep my husband fed. Making dinner every night and going to the grocery store is way harder than I thought it would be!
Well said! We actually welcomed our little girl on new years eve, and my only goal this year is to be an amazing mother and wife. Nothing else even compares anymore! So build those tunnels! I’ll be having tea parties and trips to the zoo 🙂
I’m totally trying to get everything organized too. It’s always funny to me that to get organized, I end up making a bigger mess of things than when I started, since I take everything out of the closets to purge the things I no longer want, and then decide what to put back. It’s always worth it in the end, but man, there’s always a week or so that it looks like a bomb went off! 🙂 My biggest goal for this year (which probably isn’t such a big issue for other people) is to just try to actually put the laundry away once it’s folded, rather than just piling it on the couch or in the baskets for “later”. 🙂
Totally non-resolution-related, do you have a post about how you like your white couch and how you keep it clean with two littles?? We are having a house built right now, and this leather set that we currently have will go into the den, and I’m drooling over the white Pottery Barn style sofas for the formal living room!!! Everyone’s calling me crazy for wanting white furniture with small kids!
Amen! Your first one hit home with me. I’ve severely cut back on blogging, and all but deleted my instagram and twitter account. Not only was it sucking my creativity out of me snap by snap (why should I write when I can just take a simple picture and caption it ?! ). So I’m stepping back to be more present with my family, because God and my family are the two most important things in my life. I love writing, it’s very cathartic, but I also love my family. Love having my laundry put away. Love having my kitchen clean. Love playing with my dogs, seeing my family, and talking with my husband. My list is here of things I plan on doing:
http://www.likeacupoftea.com/new-years-and-resolutions/
I love this blog. I always have. You say what others won’t, you make me laugh and you share experiences (good, bad and ugly) that I find so relate-able as a mother. Thank you for putting yourself out there. May God bless you and your precious family this year!
You know that the day you quit blogging you will be responsible for thousands of acute cases of depression! I know I will shed tears! 😛
What makes a lot of us love you so much is the way you throw it all out there. If you want to push “being you” I think we will all just love you the more for it.
oh Katie you’ve got to meet Katie M, one of my favorite people and a stellar personal organizer! I thought of her site because well, she is sweet and encouraging and “unique” just like you (here she is sharing her halloween costume with a roar: http://www.fullspectrumproductivity.com/2012/11/02/halloween-costume-winner/)
Love your goals and focus, followers and comments and traffic is nice but that attention is often shallow and fleeting. Knowing and appreciating what really matters is refreshing to see 🙂
This sounds so genuine! I really hope you get to full fill all of them 🙂 Best of luck
My 2013 goal is to have a healthy, safe and happy (as much as a preggo girl in a humid, TN July can) second pregnancy. I am so loving hearing and seeing your thoughts on Weston and all things siblings. I am secretly hoping to add another boy. Of course, we will be happy with whatever as long as they are healthy.
Okay my resolutions: Quit Facebook for a year (gasp) (its okay, I blog AND have Twitter AND have Instagram. Take better photos. I’m being lazy, really. Put more effort into the little details- cooking for friends, sendin notes, long phone calls. Anyway, I wrote a post about it: http://www.twohappylambs.com/2012/12/30/ooo-sometimes-i-get-a-good-feeling/ hope all your resolutions come true!
Congrats, April!
Well said!!
I love to see/read about the fantastic things you do and how creative you are but family comes first. And to be honest after I put my family and their needs first is when I have time to turn to your blog for some inspiration and a smile. Weird or not, I get your sense of humour and anyone who follows you would know that at the very root of all your comments is love and the desire to get us to smile – not offend in any way. So keep being you and when I am up in the night with a little one and check your blog to find nothing has been updated fast enough for my liking, I will smile because I know that somewhere, wherever it is that you live…..the Bowers have had a good day and were too happily exhausted to think about blogging xo
Please embrace your weirdness. I know I do. It’s my favorite part of your blog. ‘Katie’isms’.
I started to cry while reading your first goal because it’s so easy for me to choose my blog over my son… especially when I just need some adult interaction or like you say, to talk about something other than trains and cars. During communion at church today I really struggled with how I should handle the blog and house projects in relation to my son and my daughter (Elle) who will be arriving sometime around April 6.
My husband and I made exciting house goals this year… reno a bathroom and wood floors in our bedroom before our little girl arrives. We have 3 months to complete this and we are working as a team to get her done and under budget. My other goals are to get a big boy room ready for my son and a fabulous nursery ready for Elle. 🙂
But I want to do all of this while not forgetting that AJ and my kids are most important…
Oh Katie, dear, I just think you’re wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!
Read to my kids more and try not to ignore my 3rd baby in favor of the older, louder two:)
I remembered seeing Katie post about this. Here you go.
https://www.bowerpowerblog.com/2012/06/whitie-tightie/
I get it, all of it. Boy will I miss you, (eventually). You are like a friend to me, that you never knew you had! (ha) I love your goals though. I have to say, I am looking forward to the weirdness. I must be weird too, because some of my favourite posts are the ones you label weird. I love your sense of humour, like “try not to drool on their tandem instructor. Because that would make things awkward after landing.” and that picture of you “hilarious” !! And who doesn’t love getting spaces organised, so count me on board totally with the 2013 plan. Oh, and because if I look forward to yours I don’t have to set my own…right?!
Katie, you are too hard on yourself! If you consider yourself wierd, then I’m obsessed with weird! You are the sweetest most talented photographer (the newborn pics you took of my Caroline I will treasure forever). And I love following this blog of yours. I wish I was more like you!
I’m not much of a resolution person, but a little over a year ago I started organizing one room or space each month. It’s much easier to maintain, I have purged SO much, and it’s a TON easier to organize those rooms/spaces the second time around!! 🙂 Good luck!
Just wanted to say I think you are great. So, so great.
This made me cry:
To state it plainly…as a mother, Will has taught me how to love. And as a mother, Weston has taught me the joy of being loved. One thing I had to work at, claw toward, inch by inch and day by day…the other was completely free, unexpected and took my breath away. Both needed. Both priceless.
I have had a very similar experience with my two children and I’ve never seen it so well captured in words. It’s so hard to not feel like I’m expressing preference or something when I compare the parenting experiences I had with each of my children, but that’s not it at all. And it’s so nice to see that at least one other mother gets it. Thank you!!
I love how you keep it honest. My blog, which is nothing compared to yours, took the back burner many times this year. Family is more important any and every day. My family learned that the hard way after losing my brother to cancer in 2011. Two small kids, who both want and need their mom, are more important than us, your readers. I love your blog but as a mom I understand you. Good luck with your resolutions. Mine include organization too….and getting pregnant (again, I lost my last pregnancy at 7 weeks but have one beautiful 3 year old that is wanting to be a big sis just as I want to be pregnant again).
She had a post about this and how they are slip covers she washes. I believe she mentions how and what she washes them with as well. I’m sure you can find it if you go back far enough, maybe 6-10 months
I so connected with your second goal…I too am moody and critical and sensitive and aware of it. But, at the same time, I’m happy and loving and willing to help anyone at any time. From one Katie to another, keep being yourself and we will continue to love you for it, flaws and all 🙂
#1 and #3 are good goals and all, but I know I enjoy your posts that are more real, inappropriate and all, so much more than the blander ones.
Congratulations on your boys! Oh and, also your post about breastfeeding Will might be my favorite because it was real and something I needed to hear. Too many moms either don’t remember or won’t confess their problems and I needed to know it wasn’t just me. Thank you for being you!
Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability!
Yay! Yay! Yay! I’m so happy for you guys! And looking forward to seeing what 2013 has to bring…weirdness, misspellings, drool and all 😉
Katie,
I get it so much. I was always picking up after them, “let’s not make a mess..” “Just a second I need to finish this…” And to be blunt… I hated myself for it, in fact, we are thisclose to finishing up a basement remodel and I feel like all I say is “sorry buddy, the basement is almost done, just a second…”
The truth is, I’m most happy when I’m with my kids, when my boobs are saggy and my sweatpants/yoga pants are on. I’m most happy when we are tickling, making cookies and snuggling up. BUT, I’m also thrilled when the house is clean and picked up, the toys are organized, and I have a kick ass blog post (which I haven’t blogged in months and have pretty much no followers…. but, I have been renovating and loving up on my boys so I digress)
What I’m babbling about is this… I check your blog daily and get all giddy when there is a post… yet I know how scary fast babes grow, and I get it, I adore you (and your little family) and I can’t wait to see more weirdness.
I’ll be here, post or not. I’m a fan and I wish MN was closer so we could do a playdate with our boys…. ( like how I awkwardly invited myself over)
Take care, Happy New Year, and good for you for knowing what is best for your life.
Amy
Katie, I certainly agree that your family should be your first priority. Being a mother is the most important job there is, and you are a wonderful one as well as a great blogger. I look forward to reading your posts and check them daily. I so much enjoyed following Weston’s birth on instagram. I had never even been on it until I read your post that said you would be updating there as your labor progressed. I was so excited, just as if you were someone in my family. It was a great experience being able to follow you so closely. It is because you are a good mother to your two precious boys and a good homemaker that I love reading your blog. I will deeply miss you if you don’t write as often as we all were accustomed to, but I will certainly understand your giving the best of yourself to those precious little boys. I love, love, love taking care of my baby granddaughter while her parents work, and am so blessed to stay at home with her as I did my children. It’s like a second chance at the newness of motherhood. And babies grow up much too soon….
Thanks Whitney!

I am still obsessed with that little girl 🙂

Awesome post! Your blog is quickly becoming one of my very favs. 😀
Ha! I literally just cleaned out my “tissue paper” drawer last night. Sadly, I did not have the foresight of folding it before putting it away – just crumpled it and threw it in the drawer. As I was cleaning it out I was thinking, “Who saves all of this tissue paper?” And, “Who doesn’t realize that crumpled tissue paper stuffed in a drawer is going to expand and cause the drawer to stick?”
Now it’s neatly folded and organized by color! As for the rest of my house…it looks like my attic threw up Christmas all over my floors.
I like these goals, Katie! I’m weird too…maybe I’d consider myself awkward, in any case I think that’s why I love your blog so much! I just started a blog last week and I just posted my goals. I didn’t set blog goals because as of today I have 7 facebook “likes” who are all family/friends and one stranger commented on a blog post, which is awesome! I know it takes time so rather than blog goals I made myself personal goals. Happy New Year!
Loved this post. I am having a baby in March and haven’t even thought about resolutions for this year — have a healthy delivery and baby is my only resolution but loved how simple yours are and I’m totally on board.
Another great post, Katie Bower! I bet you will learn that more people like you for who you are than you’d bet. My goals are similar 1.) work harder 2.) be more present in every.single.moment. and 3.) live more beautifully inside and out. I know those sound kind generic, but I don’t need to elaborate 🙂 Have a wonderful year, Katie Bower and Family 🙂
We bought a Bagster this weekend too….now let’s do this 🙂
You are already a great mom, you can only get better!
Go be you, girl! I just found you and I really like your style. Your weirdness speaks to me. We are all weird on some level. Congrats on being real enough to put it out there on display! You really inspire this 34 year old, scared to get pregnant (cause I went and waited until I am what my doctor makes me feel is ancient of days), insecure wife, not the greatest housekeeper, disorganized fellow weird girl. Thank you. You make weird look beautiful. Enjoy those precious boys. Time really does fly.
I just did a major purge this weekend of closest in our house and I felt so much better. I, too, have the same problem of saving things for the “maybe someday” project but I decided that if and when those projects come up, I’ll just buy whatever I need for them. I’m trying to let go of “things” this year and truly enjoy life and experiences. I love a well-kept home, but that’s not all there is to life and sometimes the mess is more fun than the organized don’t-touch-a-thing space! I’m totally with you on many of your thoughts!
Katie… I just have to say that I am totally with you on #2. I’m quirky, always have been, and am working hard to accept it… especially when I feel as though I don’t quite fit in with my group of girlfriends. A goal of mine is to be as open and unflinchingly myself as you are. I truly admire you for that. I would love to have more friends like you. Cheeseball but true. 🙂
How would I find your posts on infertility and breastfeeding? Those are things that I, too, struggled with, and I’d love your insight!
The best way right now is to just google it…but here are the links to save you a second 🙂

I love checking in on your blog. And I really enjoy your “weirdness” as you call it. And as a mother, even though I don’t keep a blog, I understand the temptation to stick to the computer instead of playing with my boy (and calling it “developing independent play”). So please, please, choose your boys over your blog any day! Know the moms who read your blog support you and are trying to do the same thing.
Great goals, Katie! Like you, I am really bad at organzing and clutter is eating our house alive. That is my goal for this year, too. Organize. And I have already started making a list of areas to tackle each month. Hopefully I can keep to it. It’s an overwhelming goal but one that will really make our life better.
katie – i think the reason i like your blog so much is beCAUSe you put your family first. nothing feels forced and everything seems so genuine.. its fun to follow – keep it up! best wishes to you & your fam in 2013!
I totally could have written this post. Except not, because I am too scatterbrained to get my thoughts out into such an organized fashion! SO, thanks for writing this for me. 🙂 We can do this!
Katie,
Love to hear about your very real and down to earth resolutions. Like everyone has said above, the best part about you is that you are human and you let yourself be you throughout your blog. You’ve never failed at that and we love you for it! Also, don’t beat yourself up for any “me” time you may want here and there. I know the most amazing part of your life has to be those two/three little boys 🙂 but, sometimes in order to be the best momma you can be, you need mommy time out….something of your very own. Your blog, a nap, a massage, or browsing Instagram. But, has hard as we can be on ourselves…you have to know that your readers think you are a pretty fantastic mom and your heart is always in the right place. xo
Also, I didn’t know you had infertility. I just thought you were having a hard time for awhile, but was it over a year? My husband and I have been trying for a year and a half now and so we are now pulling into IVF station…just getting a few things in order first. Its really really really hard, but I know that we will have an amazing perspective once we have the little someone in our arms….one that not everyone gets….with gratitude seeping out of our pores! Feeling more grateful, that’s my resolution.
Much love, Chrissy
Ha, I feel very weird too and this is why I like your blog so much! I absolutely love how genuine you seem and I think your family should definitely come first. Hallelujah for honesty and being real!
you are a fantastic mama and an inspiration 🙂 i have read your blog since the beginning and never tire of the goofy/hilarious/awesome YOU that you are. to be honest, i sometimes choose my family over you as well 🙂 but i don’t think we should be mad at each other for it – we all need to do what we gotta do to be the best EVERYTHING in our children’s lives 🙂
You mean you’re picking your own flesh and blood over random strangers from the internet? How could you!?! 🙂 Best wishes to you with all of your resolutions Katie.
These goals are so great! It’s especially important to focus on your boys. It’s great that you see the value in that. 🙂
Katie, I hear you with goal #1. I too work from home and it’s extremely hard to separate work time and family time because I just mash work in wherever I can find the time. I have a little five month old who I constantly have to remind myself…be present…he won’t be like this forever. It’s hard, especially when you love what you do. Don’t be too hard on yourself, you are helping to support your family too so they can have opportunities and experiences when they get older…that mommy guilt will get you every time though, it eats me alive.
Aww thanks Carla. You are too sweet 🙂

Well…we actually didn’t prevent after Will was born…we figured that if it happened, then great! and if not, well, it’s very soon. But since I got my monthly visitor back right away, theoretically I could have gotten pregnant. We waited until he was ten months to really start ‘trying’ and we tried for thirteen months before getting pregnant. So all in all, we were doing everything right for almost two years before finding out about Weston 🙂 I’ve heard that the average time to get pregnant is one year…but I figure that statistically, there has to be a lot of folks who wait a long time to even out the folks that get pregnant right away 🙂
xo – kb
you’re fantastic, Katie Bower. thanks for keeping things honest, weird and always entertaining! your boys are so lucky to be your #1 priority!
I like the way you think! Makes me feel much more normal. 🙂 We’ve decided to wait a couple of months and God willing it will just happen naturally and we can just forget about all the mumbo jumbo the dr’s talk about…including the average timing of things. In the meantime, it’s nice to have another reason to totally identify with you. Thanks for sharing and thanks for this blog!
xo Chrissy
for your clutter–read Clearing your clutter with feng shui from Amazon.com. you don’t have to be in to/believe in feng shui for this book to change your outlook on things regarding STUFF….it’s awesome!!! Promise!!
Thank you!
I am trying to have a baby now and I am so glad I ran into this blog!
I hope to be a great mother like you!!
Okay, totally off topic and I NEVER comment, but I have to know. Where did you get that little ottomon/foot stool shown in the first picture (where you are on the couch)?? I love it! I need it! Thanks!
I got it at a thrift shop. I wish I had more info on where to buy a similar version.

I loved this post and I love your weirdness and honesty. You are also such a talented photographer and hope to have you do Remie’s 3yr photos and Gwen’s one year photos this year. If you are going to have limited spots please let me know I will book now :)https://www.bowerpowerblog.com/2013/01/2013-resolutions/feed/
