Blue Faithful

Hello 2019! It is that time of year where we are all looking forward thinking about what we want out of this new chapter and maybe a little looking back on what last year had to offer. This transition phase is magical. There is a time of potential where anything feels possible if you just start today. We could say at the end of the year “I read everyday” or “I worked out every morning this year.” if we start today. There is power in the small things because that is how great things come about. I believe 2019 has all the small and great things headed our way but today is beautiful. Today I am thankful for exactly where I am. There are many goals I am taking on this year but I want to begin from a place of gratitude and self-acceptance. I have two arms, two legs, and a body that can create life. I have my health, family, and a roof over my head. I have all the means necessary to succeed, and so do you! Go get ’em! Thanks for stopping by and happy new year!

Listen to the tempo

This time of year feels magical when you’re in a candlelit room listening to harmonic Christmas music with lights twinkling in the background as you sip hot cocoa. However, if you run into the mall that spirit fades into the high tempo of Jingle Bells and cash registers ringing while you fight for your personal space. Jolene and I have been hidden in a candlelit room much more these past few weeks, in our attempt at avoiding germs. This has taught me to appreciate the calm atmosphere and simple benefits that come with a quieter pace. Life naturally slows down to introduce you to parenthood. One day it’s really hard and you look out in disbelieving laughter at all the people around doing this same work with ease. How can everyone be doing this and still juggling life? The truth is; we all have hard days. We all have moments when we look out thinking is anyone else doing this same task…. with ease? Maybe? or Maybe they are struggling in silence looking out with wonder just like you. All moments are not picture perfect but the real good stuff happens in between the really hard and the really pretty. These moments are shared with are best friends filled with love, the messiest hair, and no make up. These are the moments that house genuine connection and preserve the truest love. You’ll be tempted to document the beauty but don’t take a picture or record what was said, just smile and know that this sweet moment isn’t for anyone else but YOU. Soak it in. You are living your best life. Thanks for stopping by! Happy holidays to you and your families.

Christmas pajamas

December 12, 2018 by Hillary Wortham Leave a Comment

Yes! We had to jump on the train of matching family jammies for Christmas and now I see why so many families do it. This was definitely the coziest shoot 5 days after giving birth and the only thing any of us wanted to wear. Burts Bees surprised us with how soft the fabric was. I was additionally impressed by how nursing friendly my night dress was and how thoughtful the design of Jolene’s zippered onesie was for tired parents changing midnight diapers. Overall the first of our matching pajama escapades was a huge success and I will be using Burts Bees again in the future! We were elated to take these photos for our annual Christmas cards that finally have us three on them. As Christmas traditions go our snail mail holiday cards are my favorite tradition and this year was perfect! Happy Holidays and thanks for stopping by!
