First Easter together as a family of three (+ 🐕). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s bittersweet not being able to spend it with our family and friends but we’re also so grateful to have each other. I’m especially grateful that @jomurt9 isn’t sailing and is able to be hone safe with us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #missnorahm #babygirlnorah #littlefierceones #momswithcameras #letthembelittle #takemydearheart #startwithwhy, #theartofslowliving, #livemoremagic, #livethelittlethings, #thehappynow, #flashesofdelight, #doitfortheprocess #theslowdowncollective #thatvelvetfeeling #daysofsmallthings #awakethelight #simpleandstill #thesweetlifeunscripted #themindfulapproach#tinytinymoments #folkandstory https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7U9rtHi_5/?igshid=kcuu3koeemo0

When this is all over, we will continue to embrace a slow and mindful pace or will we jump right back into the (too) fast-paced world we are so accustomed to? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don’t know about you, but I love how everyone has embraced the extra time they have by baking bread, starting new hobbies, reading books and generally doing things they love but never had time to do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Going forward, will we keep our schedules less full, create space and make room to just breathe? I will, but that’s something I’ve always strived to do. What do you think? Let me know below. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #missnorahm #babygirlnorah #littlefierceones #momswithcameras #letthembelittle #takemydearheart #startwithwhy, #theartofslowliving, #livemoremagic, #livethelittlethings, #thehappynow, #flashesofdelight, #doitfortheprocess #theslowdowncollective #thatvelvetfeeling #daysofsmallthings #awakethelight #simpleandstill #thesweetlifeunscripted #themindfulapproach#tinytinymoments #folkandstory (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-fg43Hjf9p/?igshid=1u98qo79zvyto

One of my favourite things to do is turn on some chill music (the “pulse of Americana on Spotify), pour a glass of wine and cook a nice meal. Since Norah has been born it’s been hard to do that. She went through a mommy only, no swing, or even carrier phase for a bit. That was tough. But today she’s content wit my wearing her, she’s been fed and I was able to get into the kitchen like the old days. It was nice. It IS nice to get a sense of yourself back after giving it up to take care of your tiny human. #imsomartha #beautifulcuisines #foodblogfeed #theartofgathering #thebotanicalkitchen #missnorahm #babygirlnorah #littlefierceones #momswithcameras #letthembelittle #takemydearheart (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ar0Yxjg5-/?igshid=1xkvigzk8fqbu

This too shall pass. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The virus. The no wedding rule. Norahs teething. Her sleep regression. Your own personal shit storm. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When we get to the other side, we’ll be stronger. Individually and as a community. Because we know better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I imagine weddings will be filled with more intention and mindfulness. And I’m so ready for that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After all of this, simplicity and a little “undone-ness” will be a welcomed approach to how we execute our weddings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #victoriaweddingplanner #victoriaweddings #victoriaweddingflorist #vancouverislandwedding #yyjwedding #pnwweddings #victoriabcweddings #victoriaflorist (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-PiuifDADL/?igshid=1un84kd8cokqc
