Here’s a mix of some of my favorites from the Daily Dozen: 12 on 12 photo challenge. If you played along leave a comment and link to your photos!
If not, join me on March 12th and photograph your day and illustrate pieces of your life from behind the lens.

Messy bun and a little helper on my lap (self-timer pic)

I still get teary dropping her off at school

Putting cat pencils in the store bought valentines was as crafty as I got this year.

Her silly antics crack me up. She is still wearing these frames of mine almost daily.

She climbs onto EVERYTHING

 


Visiting baby Zuzu, my niece, at the hospital. She’s truly an angel and holding on strong in the newborn intensive care. At any time (or before 4 months) she will need heart surgery. My sister, Ashley, has truly been amazing during her challenging pregnancy which caused her to move back from Paris with her husband Chris and daughter Taimi. I have never been more proud of her and look at her in awe as she overcomes trial after trial with such resilience. Of course I wouldn’t expect anything less of her.

Colorful collection

Just like her momma elbow deep in a bag of chips.

Taking Tuque on a walk

My view right now

Hello and goodbye! xo, Lizzy

    First off – wow – can’t believe how big the dog has gotten (me being a dog person and all) love the pics of your girls, can’t wait to see what a boy brings to this mix.

    most importantly, my thoughts and prayers are with your sister and your family right now. both my sons were born with congenital heart defects and underwent open heart surgery before they were 6 months old. she is so lucky to have family close by to give her support.

    You sister will cherish those pictures even if they are through glass. I would have loved to have pictures like that of myself with my boys while they were in the NICU. She’s blessed to have great family support. Keep visiting that perfect little baby. It means the world to them. We’re praying for your family.

    Lovely pics as always! My heart goes out to your sister Ashley and her precious little one, Zuzu. As a momma of an 8 year old boy with Downs Syndrome and who had 3 heart surgeries before he was 3… I held my breath for a moment when I saw that picture of them. Praying for them!!!

  27. Kelly Jean says:

    Continued prayers for your sister and her family and new little one! I’ve followed your 12 on 12 alot and have been waiting for the 12th to be on a weekend since my day job is boring, but I think I might participate in March and just figure out how to work around it.
