{ 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.

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.

      And my Little Miss would LOVE the company! Poor dear tries to get her little bro interested constantly. She keeps wishing he would grow up faster. Soon, he’ll be all over her stuff and she’ll wish he was little again. Haha!

      Have a great week-end.

    Lovely. This made me smile. I’m not quite sure what she is making, but my sisters and I would spend long winter hours cutting out and pasting from magazines much like this. She will remember all these beautiful moments to be sure. Have a beautiful weekend and shine on.

      We never did get a clear answer on what her collage ended up being. LOL! I call it Little Miss Abstract! And it was on both sides of the paper as well… We had so much fun. Crafts with her is some of my greatest moments as a mom. Soon, Little Man will be joining in and it will be a true family affair. 🙂 Have a wonderful week-end as well. xo

    Oh my gosh, I love it. This looks just like the picture I just posted (and our table most days). I think it is one of my favorite things about having kids ~ the constant creating. Happy weekend!

      I agree… this was a snow day while her little brother was having his morning nap. She doesn’t get to “spread out” so much when he’s awake cause he’ll tear through everything. So she made the most of that 90 minutes!!!!

  9. Oh, this picture makes me miss my childhood. And wish my toddler was interested in it. Carefree art is so wonderful and fun. I hope he grows into it so I can have a table that looks like that.

      I’m hoping my son gets into it someday as well, but I’m starting to think he,s gonna be the “jock” of the family. LOL! Or maybe his crafts will be wood working like dad. Who knows… I hope yours develops a taste for it. Maybe you just need to try different crafts? Something more physical like clay?

      Oh yes it was… Part of it was being aloud to leave everything out, strewn everywhere. Usually, when her little bro is up, she has to be extra careful, but he was sleeping. She was THRILLED!
