I am not a morning person, and since our kids wake up at the butt-crack of dawn, most often I am missing my pillow. There are mornings when I want to hide under the covers and drift back to dreamland not ready to face the world. But not today. Instead of slushing around in my slippers drinking a cup of sulk. I strapped my camera around my neck and embraced it. Capturing the chaos, the coziness & fresh feeling. The rush to get Avery to school then the calmness of our mornings.
These will be fun in my Project Life when I start on mine after CHA… but for now I’m going to hold tight to the certain marvelous found only in the morning.
We still have balloons floating around from the Neapolitan Video shoot. 
Seriously? I can’t believe this baby is that trained that she even smiles at self-timer shots. haha! jk… she’s such a cheerful girl. A cheerful girl who climbs up everything… the ladder to the bunk beds, chairs & here to the kitchen table to eat the last few bites of her sister’s oatmeal.
Toes and shoes on the wrong feet.

Love the photos! So beautiful!
thanks!
Marvelous indeed!!! Just what I need to inspire me for the weekend! Thanks!!!
LOVE that mirror by the way!!!
Thanks! just a $25 thrift find. I was going to paint it but it’s kind of growing on me.
Inspiring and gorgeous. Happy friday!!
Thanks Tiffany! happy friday to you!
This is the cutest post! I am not a morning person either and I find myself getting sulky in the mornings with all the hustle bustle of getting the kids ready, making lunches, getting out the door on time (which never happens). But your post inspired me to embrase the chaos and have a little fun with the morning routine. You captured such sweet little images in your photos. Those are the things I need to remember in the mornings… the little sweet things, the little smiles, the shoes on the wrong feet, the Littlest Pet Shops figures. Thank you for this!

ah, thanks. you are so welcome… ! xo
As always, beautiful and inspiring pictures. Somehow, your little Lola seems to be the boy you wish for (“someday”). She is proudly eating with the spoon all by herself, great!!! And you really drink that green stuff, brrrrrh.
haha, so true!
Yes, I am obsessed with drinking that green stuff every morning now. Despite how putrid it looks. I need to post my fave recipes soon. xo
Such beautiful and inspiring pics! These are what make days beautiful! Just everyday, normal moments captured in such a beautiful and interesting way! This is what keeps me coming back time and time again to your awesome blog! And I see your green smoothie in there!! How are you liking them?
Thanks Tabitha, I am not the most eloquent person but try to speak through my photos! you are tooooo kind!
Awww looks like a lovely chaotic morning! How fun! However I can’t imagine getting up that early everyday, but then again I don’t have any children yet so I guess someday it’ll all just makes sense!

happy friday!
#1 thanks! taking photos and enjoying the chaos definitely helped me start off the day right
#2 haha, glad I’m not the only one
#3 definitely… I think I could do something like that after CHA
Liz, what’s that thing on your table with the tiny little teacups? It’s white????
I love this post – our chaotic mornings are something I’d have never thought to capture – I may have to give it a try.
May I ask where you got your bunkbeds and if you like them? I’m currently looking for some for my twins. Thanks!
i’d take pictures of our mornings but usually i’m wearing jimmy’s HUGE pj pants, squinting out of one eye,and running around like a MANIAC whilst chugging coffee. i’d like to know what my blood pressure is every morning. really. you guys are beautiful. xo
How cute! Love how you have captured those sweet little moments in time. I wish so bad I had a picture of my son with his shoes on the wrong feet. His feet now are like clown feet and he is a foot taller than me. Cherish these times with your little girls.
amazing! and you’re right that you’ll be so glad to have them for project life. what a great way to capture the little moments!
Just a beautiful pictorial! It will compliment your album beautifully!
What a lovely post and very uplifting. I am not a morning person either but as we know once kids come along we have to become morning people : ) You have a gorgeous house by the way. Wish mine looked so fab first thing in the morning,

lovely pics! Love your doughters’ room!
soo cute!
thanks Liz, I needed this post…my little guy was up at 4:45 today…ugh…same here, just want to sink into the pillow forever…but I do admit I like the calmness and quiet of just him and me in the early hours, think I’ll document this with pics…along with a giant cup of joe…
Can you post the total results of the blot hop? I don’t see winners from all the blogs…thanks!
Sweet sweet pictures!!
Love this post full of love and simplicity. Just want to say: lovely!!
there are lots of out here that have the same kind of chaotic mornings…..wait til the little ones don’t want your help anymore and you have to do your best to wait patiently while the clock ticks (and you’ll be late for work yet again!) LOL
question if you don’t mind – what camera and lens are you using these days? your pics are so bright. did you do any editing this time around?
Okay, love this idea. It’s the everyday memories that I don’t want to forget and we just assume we’ll remember since we live them over and over. I’m stealing your idea and capturing our Monday. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi there!
I was loosing my attention here on blogspot, but then I found your blog. It’s amazing here, so girly. I like it very much. I like the pics also, as I’m passionated by photography. Woow, amazing here. Wish I could write my words down like you do

I came across your website today and I love it! So many fun ideas – thanks for sharing. I was looking back at some of your older posts and saw your darling carousel where you hang pictures. Do you mind my asking where you got that?!?!
The captured moments were inspiring. Not to mention the fact that you managed to capture them nicely – like a pro. I am not a morning person either but I love the sunshine escaping through the windows during each day. Makes me feel alive.
Love these photos!!! I must try to embrace the mornings more…and try the self timer too:) Thanks for sharing
