Be present. Be engaged.
These two things are at the very top of my 2014 goal list.
Arden is growing up ridiculously fast and I’m desperate to not miss a moment.
So when Ashley let me know about the “It’s the Little Things” linkup that she’s starting with Jess, I knew I had to be a part of it!

Arden and I have been super lucky the past week because we’ve had her daddy home with us for not one, but TWO snow days! Throw in another work-from-home day and we had a glorious 5-day weekend. Thank you, “crazy” “winter” weather!!!
I love these two so very much…

Don’t be fooled though, it’s not always picture-perfect 🙂

I’m truly looking forward to capturing little moments like these along with Ashley and Jess this year!
Hope you’ll join too!

Visiting from the link up. Arden is adorable. My daughter is close in age so i look forward to exploring your blog.
How fun to have daddy home with you so much this week! Aren't the kiddos always happier with their Daddy around? I know Owen is, and I always love the company of my husband and having us all together — the extra hands are nice too!
I found your site a few days ago and always love finding other bloggers from Kansas! Looking forward to keeping up with you here! 🙂
haha, love the second picture! One lucky daddy to get some extra time with his ladies =)
What are you talking about- that last picture is totally picture perfect! I love it so much 🙂
so precious! love this! I am so excited for these link-up series as well!!
