Today I am so excited to be linking up with some amazing women in
the blogosphere. Katie from Hope Engaged
sent a few of us a challenge. She wrote,
“I thought it would be fun to each do a little photo shoot of each of us!
I find I get so inspired by seeing the beauty in others.” And I
could not agree more. It is so fun
celebrating the beauty of others. That’s
one of my favorite things about blogging – meeting and learning from new
friends that I probably would have never met otherwise. And the opportunity to celebrate their unique
beauty and experiences is an honor. So
thank you Katie! For being such an
inspiration to me and challenging us to find ourselves beautiful today.

For my “beauty
shoot,” I decided to do things a little different. A part of me really wanted to get all dolled
up, curl my hair and have Matt take some pictures of me. I mean with a 2 week old babe at home,
showers are a luxury and the chances to get dressed up are few and far between.
But then I thought about where I am in
life right now. And right now beauty
does not look the same as it did even 2 weeks ago. My beautiful comes in a different form these
days. It comes in the form of always
wearing glasses instead of contacts.
Crazy hair, often times on top of my head. No
makeup and yoga pants or comfy shorts. And who’s to say
that’s not beautiful? I think my little Miss Priss would tell me I look beautiful every day when I hold her and snuggle
her. So at the risk of feeling
vulnerable here are some “beauty shots” of me lately. No makeup, just cuddles.
And the miracle and reason for my new beautiful....
