  • Welcome!

    I'm a farm wife, a mama and a photographer living in Virginia.

    My camera is typically filled with images of sunrises, dusty fields, even dustier children and whatever we happen to be planting or harvesting at the time.

    Thanks for visiting the farm!

I Need A Vacation

So to wrap up the end of my maternity leave, I went to the beach with four children and my husband.

I have never, ever worked so hard in my life. From the ride to and from the beach loaded with worry over carsickness, diaper changes and my doubt that I timed the feedings just right to packing up SIX people for the beach, I was a wreck.

Fortunately we were at a house with a pool so the older girls didn’t really care about going out to the beach. We tried once and stayed for 10 minutes. Sand and three week old baby skin don’t mix, y’all.

I came away from it all with just one certainty… I love home.

Isn’t that the truth! Traveling with a baby is crazy. Great pictures though.

I only have two girls 3 and 1 (not walking yet) and I worked harder on vacation than I do at home. I needed a vacation from my vacation.

I feel ‘ya sister!

I’m not crazy about vacations. So much work getting ready to go, so much when you get home. Just came home from 10 days in HI – NOT A VACATION! Helped rescue 400 animals!

Amen to that sister. Just got back, could care less if I go again. Long trip, about 10 hours there, about 12 hours back with traffic and an almost 6 month old baby who seemed to poop to just get out of his seat. Laundry to no end and work at my job waiting for me on Monday. I need a vacation from this vacation.
