The Journals

“It is easier for me to paint than to write about it. And I would so much rather people would look at them than read about it.”

-Georgia O’Keefe

I felt I could never adequately put into words what my heart wanted to express of the discovery & wonder of my journey into motherhood.

The journal entries are a record of all I observed these new little people to be. Studying their image, every curve of their faces or ‘perfectly- imperfect’ wrinkle of an ear. The toys and activities they loved showed me who they were becoming. Some of the entries address periods of hardship, which we all grew through: illness, grief and the expressions of child-like faith these brought to us all. On the back of each image is a personal note to each child explaining the impetus for each entry.

As with any mothers journal these reflections were recorded purposefully, for my children to know how amazingly richer my life became with them in it.
