Project 365 Week 18: Boston Tragedy

by Mindi Stavish on April 20, 2013

Last weekend was filled with joy and celebration, as we welcomed friends into our home for Noah’s second birthday celebration. We had such a wonderful day with warm weather and lots of laughs. Monday was not so welcome, as tragedy struck Boston. The Boston Marathon bombing seemed unreal, unfathomable. Innocent lives lost, so many injured. America’s heart bled for the city of Baked Beans, The Green Monster, and Bunker Hill. The whirlwind week came to end on Friday evening, when the second and last bomber was captured. American breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Project 365: Week 9- Morning Play

by Mindi Stavish on March 1, 2013

During the work week, my favorite time of the day is in the morning. This seems very odd to me, since I’m totally not a morning person. Lately the boys have been pretty low key and into their play during and after breakfast.  I can’t resist wanting to spend a few extra minutes playing with them, instead of going through my morning “get-ready-for-work” routine. I just love their bedheads and little bodies dressed in their footie PJ’s. The morning light in the house is perfect for playtime photography too.  Here is what we have been up to this past week.

Come visit on Monday to link up to my new joint photography project “Catch the Moment”. In an effort to encourage photographer lovers to step outside of your comfort zone and pick up your DSLR more, I’m teaming up with the lovely Sarah from Nurse Loves Farmer for this project every first Monday of the month. The purpose of the challenge is to catch the everyday moments of your children and share them with others. We can’t wait to see your favorite moments with your children!
