The Motherhood Collective - February

Now you've probably heard about my Existing in Photos for your Children campaign.

(unless you're new here, the you can check it out HERE - and welcome!)

It is something that I am very close to and talk to you about often.

Next month will mark it's one year anniversary and it's time that I start being more involved with #justexist - ing.

___________________________________________________________________________

I happen to be part of a wonder group of ladies that feel absolutely the same about existing and have committed to photographing ourselves with our children each month for one year...we are

The Motherhood Collective.

Follow our blog circle each month by clicking on the next member linked at the bottom of the page, and keep clicking until you're back here to make sure you complete the circle.

There is so much talent in this group - I hope it inspires you to do the same.

These will be images that are going to make me reach out of my comfort zone and push myself as an artist... but this is going to be a project that brings me joy.

 

Pure joy.

Please visit Jenny at Jenny Cruger Photography to continue on your way...

Much Love,

CrystalB

p.s.  My teenager is a teenager...enough said.  But don't you worry....I'll get him.

Beat the Boredom Blues

Here in the great white north the kids have a week off from school. When those boredom blues come knocking, Pinterest is your friend! Here is 5 fun things to keep them busy and beat the dreaded boredom blues!

1. Make a Tent - A few pieces of wood and hours of fun! (We just finished one this past weekend. It was simple, easy and the littlest critic loves it!)

2. 2 Step Playdough - Super easy and who doesn't like playdough!

3. Super Simple Princess Canopy - A hoop and sheer curtains, your princess will love it!

4. Bottle Bird Feeder - Wooden spoons and a pop bottle, easy peasy. Those little birdies have to be hungry. ( I don't know how they don't freeze!)

5. Make Some Tunes - Reuse, Recycle, Rock out! Cereal box guitars.

You can find all of these projects and more on my Beat the Boredom Blues Pinterest Board!

Existing Special Sessions

Next month will be one year since launching

Existing in Photos for Your Children

If you missed the Existing campaign, please click the link above.

This Existing business is super close to my heart, and I always, always try to talk moms into taking one photo with their children during a Session (and I'm a persistent little bugger so I usually get my way :D ) and its not to make them feel uncomfortable or awkward...

It's for them.

for that tiny person in your arms

or that wriggling pair on your knee.

It's for them.

For the time comes in everyone's life when all we have left are photos.

And I want to be damn sure that your children will have something more than a memory.
