WW: It's the simple things.

We had the opportunity to go to the soccer fields in Columbia this past Saturday and watch Little Man do his thing. It was a beautiful day. The sun was out. The playground was within earshot. Hubs was there. And I couldn't help but be thankful for such a lovely day. It wasn't life altering, but when all is said and done, it will be these simple, ordinary, beautiful moments that will be remembered.

Live life. Laugh lots. Love unconditionally.

One of my most recently asked questions here at Project Alicia is, "How do you do your polaroids?" If you missed them, you can find examples in any of these posts…
Poetic Winter Challenge: Passion
Leap Into Spring: Blossoms/Trees 
Finding “Me Time”

Stop back tomorrow for a tell all on my “fake polaroids”.

And if you missed my Finding “Me Time” post over at Live and Love out Loud last week, you should stop by and give it a read. It’s a topic I feel very passionate about and was the motivation behind the photo from last week. (You can find more photos from this shoot here.)



Moms of all ages can often get lost in the life of doing for others and forget to take care of themselves, myself included. You can find more of my thoughts as well as ideas to help refill your cups here. I’d love to get your feedback.

Thanks so much for stopping by Project Alicia. Know that even when life gets hairy here and I don’t find time to comment on your posts, I always enjoy looking through your photos!
