Ordinary Days

Words & Photography

We spend most of our days together, just the two of us, and a few days a week, cycling through trying on all the shoes she can find. She screams to put them on, take them off, matches and mismatches. It’s cute, and insane...toddlers are hilarious, and exhausting.

Today we also made almond milk, and hung some stuff on the walls, and ate chicken soup for lunch, and watched the rainbows dance on the wall. It’s the days of ordinary this and thats and whatevers that add up in the end. So often as a stay at home parent, it can feel like nothing ever comes from the day-in and day-out. You really start to question the value of it all...but it really does add up in the end.
