{ This moment }

{ This moment } – A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

 If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your ‘moment’ in the comments for all to find and see. Inspired by SouleMama.

Standing up

About Yanic A.

Hello to all of you and thank you for stopping by! My name is Yanic. I'm a wife to a wonderful husband, a mother of 2 beautifully complex and unique children and a lover of all things inspiring. Having started a personal journey of self discovery when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter 4 years ago, I've since embraced a daily life of simpler pleasures and gratitude. As we get to know each other, you will know me as a quilter, a gardener, a Tao cultivator, a vegetarian foodie, a true believer in a healthy family life as being the secret to my happiness and hopefully as time goes on, a friend... I will try to share with you my days as they unfold, speaking of my happy successes without censoring my challenges, trying to make this blog a true portrait of the ever-changing path that I have chosen for myself. I'm hoping to find in these pages others to share with and learn from, bringing to light the absolute connection in all things and people, showing this world as being a true community.

      Oh yes he is! So proud… he’ll stand up propped on anything now! Including not so stable stuff. oops! Live and learn.

      Yes, we are all feeling much better. It was an intense 3 days, but we are back in health, in time for the week-end. YAY!

      Hope you have a great one!

      We are thank you! Funny how a stomach flu can be so devastating and then just disappear!

      He is a giggle face now that he can stand and walk along furniture. Much to his sister,s great distress. The couch used to be her haven from his little grabby hands. Now, he can reach her! What a dynamic changer!

      Thank you! He’s gotten so good at it so quickly too. He’s gonna be walking in no time! His sister was walking at 10 months and running by her first birthday. I don’t make kids that like to take things slow apparently. LOL!

      Have a great week-end too!

      I know, I’ve made the mistake more than once! Oops… Exhaustion is such a weird thing. You don’t feel it until you REALLY do! LOL!
