It has been raining all day today,  looking through these photos surely put a smile on my face. We took Kaylee to a park couple weeks ago and she couldn't get enough of the kids and playground. She was all smiles and so friendly toward the kids, this mama is definitely proud! The stinker is such a little model, she definitely know how to work the camera! How sexy is her back ;) Don't let these photos fool you, yes although Kaylee is a sweet girl but there are days where I am exhausted, tired and think that I am not a good mother. I am learning each day and my goal in life is to be the best mom to my daughter. In all honestly, Kaylee has been pretty simple baby so I really can't imagine how other mothers, especially single mothers does it. I have so much respect for them!

I am excited to add this beautiful cotton tiered ruffle cardigan from Coin 1804 to my wardrobe. I was very impressed with the quality and the ruffles are so flattering. I own a lot of long sleeves cardigan but none sleeveless, I can definitely see myself wearing this a lot this summer to stay cool.  I love how it gives a little life to such a simple outfit and looks great with or without a skinny belt.

Being a mother to Kaylee is definitely a blessing and is also an honor these past 14 months. She is not only the sweetest but also a pretty easy going baby. We are truly blessed to have her in our life. I have to admit that the first year was tough for me, but mostly because I was learning how to be a mother and trying to figure out what each cry meant.  Thank god I have an amazing husband that also shares the responsibility of taking care of our daughter and being there for us through the ups and downs. All I want for Mother's Day was spending time with my loves, but hubby did give me the new ipad which is also very nice. Kaylee trying frozen yogurt for the first time, she didn't hate it but also didn't love it either.

Some of you may already read this little article that has been floating around facebook but I just want to share it for those who hasn't. I was at work when I read it and it was not a smart idea. I was bawling like a baby but luckily no one was around. Letter from a Mother to a Daughter: "My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’t interrupt to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago”... Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep. When I don’t want to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl? When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don’...

Recent photoshoot that I am so excited to share! Isn't she beautiful? I love how she is so comfortable in front of the camera. It was so fun to style hair, makeup and clothes. You might have seen me wearing this dress before , except she look way hot in it.  :D I hope you are having a great week so far, thanks for letting me share some photography work with you.
