My five year old created an invention to help mom do everything while the kids are home from school this year.  I know you probably have some questions after watching that video, so let me try to answer some of them... Yes, she always has this much energy, no we don't watch infomercials, and yes I do get hit in the head often.  I think I speak for moms everywhere when I say this winter has been extra impossible, even if you do have really "helpful" kids.  

This was totally off the cuff (I was taking videos of her "shuffle-off-the-buffalo"), first take, and kid directed.  Despite this being the best invention I have ever seen, I get very little work done and that exercise bike is basically décor at this point. 

Love and photos,

On one of the darkest days of covid winter, while my kids were on zoom class, and I was knee deep in laundry, I saw the cutest picture of baby goats wearing pajamas.  Joy.  I knew the sun was shining if I could just get out of my house to go find it - probably on a farm with baby goats.  A friend from Hukowicz Farm came to the rescue and we were soon parading obstinate sheep, decked in miniature hats around in circles.  At the end of a sweaty, smelly day, we snuck her kids into the mix, and those ten minutes with two little kids filled my bucket over.  After all the days effort, it turns out I didn't missed my calling after all.  So here are some photos of really cute farm kids, a few sheep and maybe more cute animals later...

Special thanks to Emmie for sharing her farm and family with me <3 and Elizabeth for spreading baby goat joy <3  

Hadley's expressions are too funny not to share.  Hadley has ALL THE WIGGLES and is not easy to photograph.  I often will book other people's children for client work, though I wonder... if she wasn't SO active and SO emotional, would the photos be this fun?!  Probably not.   This series was done in less than ten minutes and the horse absolutely helped keep her engaged.  

The clothes are from IttiKid and are just as vibrant as my children.  We love all the Scandinavian prints in our house!  Featured is Alba of Denmark one of our favorite scandi brands.  Ittikid has saved me from dying a slow death in the monotones that make up the boys fashion industry!    And, we dig the idea of slow fashion and supporting "mompreneurs."
