Beauty and Reality: The First Child & Growing Pains

June 8, 2017 By Erika Zane

8 Jun

D had his last day of first grade yesterday. He is officially a second grader. I took these photos on his first and last day of school and I see such a huge difference! Our big second grader will always be my baby, but I see his little-ness slip away a little more each day.  I'm so proud ... Read More about Beauty and Reality: The First Child & Growing Pains

Finding Freedom

April 24, 2017 By Erika Zane

24 Apr

In the bible, there's a verse in the book of James that talks about losing sight of what's important.  My interpretation of this verse has been: if I don't take action, I'll forget myself.  I'll not only forget my purpose, but forget what I even look like. But be doers of the word, and not hearers ... Read More about Finding Freedom

The Reality Behind Our Happily Ever After

February 20, 2017 By Erika Zane

20 Feb

Once upon a time, almost 9 years ago, I met my Prince Charming.  We got married and started a beautiful family and we lived happily every after. Well, sort of.  Because it's never that simple, is it? What does happen is a lot of hard stuff and a lot of change but, thankfully, it doesn't happen ... Read More about The Reality Behind Our Happily Ever After

Growing Faster Everyday

28 May

It seems the kids are growing faster than I can keep up. In the last few months Wyatt turned 4, which we celebrated over Easter weekend with family back east: Naomi met her GG and Great Aunt and Uncle for the first time: She started really walking when we got back from that trip ...

Six And On Top Of The World

March 23, 2016 By Erika Zane

23 Mar

Along with the simplicity of three, comes a pace of life that rarely allows for "spare" time. Of course after posting about the simple calm of our life with three kids, I haven't had a moment to post again for nearly 3 full months.  So, here we are at the end of March, nearing Wyatt's birthday of ...

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
