Week 23 • Play Photo Challenge

As our children grow and approach their teen years it is a precious moment that we find ourselves relaxed and truly enjoying motherhood. This photo stuck in my mind as a precious playful moment between a mother and her daughters. For more playful photo entries, visit i heart faces.

Week 21 - “Yellow” Photo Challenge!

I snapped this photo of my daughter (in her goalie jersey, she has practice this afternoon) and captured her combing her stuffed bear. Remember combing your stuffed animals - this took me back 30 years and brought a smile to my face. I love her focused look. At 10 my daughter will not pose for me, but capturing this moment means so much more to me, and when I showed her the photo - she said "cool." That is about all the accolade that I need. Visit I heart faces to see more yellow!

I ♥ Faces Challenge 'SMILE' - week 17

This week is a SMILE challenge and just looking at all the entries puts a smile on my face! My entry is my brother and my daughter. Kevin is celebrating his college graduation. Kevin and Klarisa have been kindred spirits - since the day she was born he has adored her, and she always smiled for him as a baby...and that has not changed 7 years later.

Communal Global - "Your Today"

I have never done a self portrait. When I think about "my today" I think about my kids, family, sports, work, everything except me. Today I decided to think about myself. It is liberating, and exhausting at the same time - to be honest - it is much easier to think about everybody else - keeps my mind from dwelling on the parts of me I don't like.

It was a spontaneous moment of my younger sister and her baby playing a game of peek-a-boo with me. I loved how I caught just a bit of my sister (all smiles) and her baby as serious as can be...this photo just makes me smile. View other great entries at...
