I’m not really a shoe person. I have cankles so lots of shoes don’t look good on me. I’d rather spend my money on a lens or a pair of jeans or something fun for my kids. So I didn’t have any favorite shoes for this week. And at this point my kids’ shoes are …

I’m slowly but surely working on editing our images from our Maui trip. I came across this one that we took with the self timer for our February Project 12 images. Here we are in the raw. No makeup. No hair done. No shoes on. Hardly any clothes on. But that’s how we spent everyday. …
