#142 Be Brave, Little One.

April 9, 2019July 23, 2019 ~ alifewellloved ~ Leave a comment

For months and for reasons unknown, Will has been incredibly fearful of riding his bike.  The only reason that I can think is that a few months ago he fell off his bike, and my ever-so-cautious first-born has refused to get on his bike ever since.  We tried everything we could think to get that … Continue reading #142 Be Brave, Little One.

#137 Cuties.

March 24, 2019July 23, 2019 ~ alifewellloved ~ Leave a comment

I seriously cannot get enough of these two together.  Their love for eachother just melts my heart.  These are just some pictures over the last few days with them; a day in the life with these two.  

#135 Bike Ride to the Park.

March 17, 2019July 23, 2019 ~ alifewellloved ~ Leave a comment

This weekend, we went on a short bike ride down to the park a few blocks away from our house.  The sun was shining, there was finally no rain, and it was warm enough to enjoy a day outdoors.

#122 Wake Up Call.

January 7, 2019June 3, 2019 ~ alifewellloved

The most wonderful sound to wake up to on a weekday morning is the pitter patter of little feet running down the hall towards our bedroom.  I first hear the sounds of the creak of a door, the quiet click as the door catches in the latch, and then soft footsteps of sock-clad feet making … Continue reading #122 Wake Up Call.

#119 Sandwich for Santa.

December 1, 2018June 3, 2019 ~ alifewellloved

While we were eating dinner last night, Will started talking excitedly about Christmas and Santa Claus.  As he was talking about Santa making a visit to our house, he asked me, "Mommy, what gift should we get for Santa?" I then explained that we leave out cookies and milk for Santa. Will then replied, "He … Continue reading #119 Sandwich for Santa.

#95 Bookstore Fix.

September 16, 2018September 20, 2018 ~ alifewellloved ~ Leave a comment

The minute I walked into Barnes and Noble on Friday night, I knew I had made the right decision. I got myself a cup of hot tea, and roamed the bookshelves without any kind of agenda in mind. It was so relaxing to be able to take in the atmosphere and find books on the … Continue reading #95 Bookstore Fix.

#72 An Emotional Day.

August 17, 2018 ~ alifewellloved

When Nathan wakes up tomorrow, he will be a big one-year-old.  This truth hit me like a bolt of lightning today, and I have been struggling to keep myself together since. When I picked up Nathan from school today, the door to his classroom was decorated with a "Happy Birthday, Nathan!" sign and pictures of … Continue reading #72 An Emotional Day.

#51 Home with the Boys.

July 6, 2018July 9, 2018 ~ alifewellloved

Today was one of those bonus days that I got to spend home with both of my boys.  I took the day off so I could get the house ready for Will's birthday party tomorrow, and while I had a lot to get done, having the boys around to help me run my errands was … Continue reading #51 Home with the Boys.

#50 My Brother, Matt.

July 5, 2018July 31, 2018 ~ alifewellloved

My brother.  He may act big and tough at times, but he is the most sentimental, most sincere, and most loving person you will ever meet.  He is getting married this September, and while I was perusing the website today I came across this:   Katherine Marie Sokolow, the ex-Nicholson. My one and only, and … Continue reading #50 My Brother, Matt.

#43 Sweet Baby Nate.

June 23, 2018June 26, 2018 ~ alifewellloved

We visited my mother's grave today. I have only gotten to see it twice since she passed away; one of the hardships of living far away. The last time I visited, it was an absolute disaster. Will was not quite three at the time and not feeling well. I was really hoping to see her … Continue reading #43 Sweet Baby Nate.
