These are the times you just want to slow down for a minute, take stock of life and what really matters and smell the roses...or in this case the sunflowers.
Sometimes, you just need to enjoy the day...
and create some happiness and memories in the process.
Sometimes, you just need to take some time and refocus on what really matters.
Hoping you've had your share of happiness and good memories this past month and that you might have captured some of it in pictures. If so, make sure you come back tomorrow and share your own story in the 'This is Me' self portrait link party.
Well said and so true :)

Thanks so much Eva.
DeleteSo right and I love your pics. Gorgeous. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteGreat post! And pictures. LOVE the sunflowers.....did you grow them in your yard?
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! (The both of you--and the giant sunflower!) How is little miss doing in school these days?
ReplyDeleteThanks Elena. Grace is really enjoying school and I am slowly settling into the routine of her being gone.
DeleteBeautiful! :) Hope you have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I agree with you... sometimes we get carried away and forget about what really matters. I had the chance to really reflect on that during my blogging hiatus. I really needed it... and I'm so glad I did take that time away. :) I love your precious pictures... and I love sunflowers!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Maysem. I am glad you took your break but I am even happier your break is over.
DeleteThis is so true. We get busy with life and forget to really enjoy the little moments. Love these pictures!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite days are the ones I go to bed thinking I've done nothing but truthfully I have devoted the day to just mucking about with the kids :) they're grown up before we know it
ReplyDeleteLoveliness, in pictures and words x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! The pictures are fantastic. You both look so lovely. I'm glad you got the chance to take the moment by the hand.
ReplyDeletei love this! love!
ReplyDeleteThanks Janiene.
DeleteSweet pictures and nothing could be more true than your words!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous gals in that shot. You're so right. Fall should be a time when we slow down... and really start to enjoy each other and the moment!
ReplyDeleteI think at some point in Grace's life someone is going to say 'you look exactly like your mom'. Like maybe me. Like maybe now.
ReplyDeleteOh Amy... truer words have never been spoken. Love the pics and the post.
ReplyDeleteluv all the sweet pix! y'all look so happy!
ReplyDeletevery beautiful amy...i like taking pictures and be picture taken too because it is like capturing the memory that you can keep forever.. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this Amy! If we had stayed on the farm, we seriously considered growing sunflowers. I imagined fields of them!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Amy
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Amy!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful as ever. As are you and Grace. I'm partial to the black and white.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the touching story to go with it. We all have to take time to smell the roses. Or sunflowers, as the case may be;)
