Ahhhh…. San Francisco. Such fun energy there, so many cool places to shoot. We lucked out on this day and had perfect weather. You never know what you’re going to the City, and things can change pretty quickly. Kristin and Hamid were awesome. They were up for anything, so perfectly comfortable together. We had so...
These are amazing! Great job!
These babies sure are making me baby hungry. I can’t help it. It could be that I just want to rewind time and enjoy my own babies a little bit… It’s nice to snuggle and cuddle a sweet new baby. And it’s also nice to sleep a whole night through. So, really, this is probably...

I absolutely love these pictures! You are amazing Shannon. We will treasure them forever.
I’ve become kind of obsessed with this show Dave pointed out. It’s called Turning Point. It’s about everyday people making a difference with what they have, where they are. It inspires my brains out. Tears and goosebumps through every episode. For example, there’s an episode about a lady in the LA area who is a...

How have I not heard of these? Thank you for sharing, can’t wait to watch them!
I’ve heard about this bus driver. I think I need to watch this show. (It’s probably more inspirational than Hoarders;)
Adam just told me about this also. Have you seen the disabled sailor one? They really are so inspiring. Makes you want to do something for someone. I liked what you said about making a difference in your little piece of the world.
(Piper and Shelby at the park last Sunday, taken with iPhone, processed with Instagram) I thought Piper had developed an eating disorder. She would go days without eating, turning her nose up at her food. Literally. It’d put it in the bowl, she’d go sniff it, turn her nose up, and walk away. Then, when...

I’m pretty sure all dogs have a bit of neurosis (but then again I think their owners probably do too)
Piper is adorable btw
I think the only possible solution to this is that YOU taste the dog food, old and new, to determine if the problem is with her or you. And don’t scoff…I know your dog food eating secrets….!
(via) In all the “work” I’ve been doing recently (I recently told a friend I feel like I’ve been scratching and clawing my way out of a hole), I’ve done a lot of reading and thinking and praying. I’ve found that I pray best while I’m working out. I went for a swim the other...

I really like that part about medication….
Life’s tough stuff. It sounds like you’re working through a lot. Smart girl. 
I’m setting this aside and coming back to every last one of these links when I have a couple uninterupted hours (or more!) to spare. Thanks for finding all these gems!!!
Ahh, Shannon, you’ve done it again, reached right inside my head and took out some of my thoughts. I’ve been feeling that way about running/working out for a long time. It clears my head (usually) makes me feel positive and I feel blessed to have a functioning body and mind. I also love, love love that picture about what I think I look like and what I actually look like. I know I look like a lame-o but it’s all good in the end. I’m definitely going to be reading some of those blogs. Thanks for sharing.
Oh and as soon as Annette and I get our girls back to school (mid April) we’ll be calling for a play date.
Awesome post per usual. With one exception…our yard is dead and the sprinklers are broken so the the grass is literally greener on the other side in my case 
I have been thinking of you and all this wonderful writing you’re doing here a lot lately… so much to think about. I discovered Momastery around the same time as everyone else who didn’t already read it and I’m also hooked : )
Love A Blog About Love. I wish I could learn and stop making the same mistakes over and over. Maybe one day it will sink in. Please don’t stop writing. I love reading your insights and learning from your journey.
