Hello!

Moments of Grace Photography

My name is Kylie and I am so grateful to have you here! I am an every day wife who absolutely loves marriage, shopping way too much, anything lemon flavored, my book collection, and most importantly loving people.

It is my hope you can find the words here to be real, relatable, and encouraging because that is all I have to offer.

Welcome to my little corner of the world.

xoxo

lately i haven’t had time to focus my energy on my “blog” (or as i see it, my journal) due to life (aka jobs, wife life, mommyhood, etc) nor have i had time to even consume as much coffee as i would like to have! this corner of the internet has not been as big as a priority to my lately and you know what, that is okay! i never want to feel pressured to have it look a certain way, post so frequently i cannot even catch up, or make it something it is not or even change who i am. i just hope that you all find this corner of the internet encouraging and full of grace and love because it is all i have to offer! * butttttt if you’d like to see my small, remodeled, and simple dining room, i just might be able to show you 🤗!*

and two days shy of thirteen months old,he finally does it. he crawls y’all! we have a crawler on our hands and i have been waiting for this moment for so long, i don’t even care that he is into everything! see my stories to watch his chubby thighs “run!”

these are the pictures and the moments i yearn for. while i cleaned the kitchen, i had no cares in the world that miller dumped all of his puffs out . . . and as i sat down to show him how to pick up, he placed his precious hand my leg and i looked down to find the sweetest crumbs. i started laughing, knowing that this handprint represents life so much. life is not perfect, life can be messy, life can be stressful, and life CAN leave the sweetest of imprints on others. just as miller left his imprint on me, i pray for opportunities where my family and i can do that for others.

this big guy has been giving me gray hair like no other and though i pluck them out as i see them (i know i know i shouldn’t do that) . . . they are totally worth it for this smile.

i still cannot believe he is over a year old now. i have spent so much time writing to him in his journal, keeping memories safe in his box, and updating his baby book. in many ways it is all bittersweet but oh so exciting seeing him grow up! as of this week he blows kisses to everyone, points to his nose, and even crawled last night when i wasn’t around (cue mommy tears). we love him so.

celebrating a day off in the best possible way - being together. happy fourth everyone! 🇺🇸

when you’re not quite sure which sounds more fun: napping or doing anything in your power to fight sleep 🤦‍♀️. miller is really only good at sleeping in his crib (yes, mom i know it’s my fault) . . . so any advice on getting your littles to sleep anywhere and everywhere?! (oh and do yourself a favor and zoom in his face)

brian spoiled me last month and flew us to the United Kingdom to celebrate our five year wedding anniversary extra early! if you were following me then, you know how wonderful of a time we had traveling all over and seeing as much as possible. our first stop was London and today, i shared all about our time there on the blog! check out the link in my bio to get a glimpse of what we experienced while there for a couple of days! ahhhhh now i am ready to go back.

today, as i was running errands i realized just how real the “mom club” is that secretly exists but no one tells you about (except my dear friend @taverli - you rock for telling me about it). a mom of a five month old was shopping for baby food while i was too, and it was as if we were instantly friends, asking for advice, giving suggestions, and immediately opening our hearts up to one another. while it may seem so small, it was so huge. because we as mothers spend so much of our time, energy, and focus on our little ones, it is sometimes hard to see more needs around us. this momma was so nervous about introducing her little one to purees. seeing her shoulders relax after sharing stories of my own about miller sent a peace over my heart i cannot explain. a mom of four spoke wonders of her children as she rang up my purchase at Homegoods, and another mom of four spoiled my baby with lots of gifts and love while helping set up our table at lunch. and while one kiddo cried and mine giggled, we was mothers looked at one another and just smiled, understanding exactly what each other were going through. i love being a part of this mom club and wouldn’t want to be a part of any other! love all you mommies 🤗. 📷: @momentsofgracephotos

four nights and three days away from these thunder thighs has me admiring them from afar 🤗.

i have slowly added plants into our home . . . and i have slowly killed over half of them. surprisingly the one i can keep alive is the one that needs the most attention 🤔.

i am thinking of writing a book titled “what no one tells you: what really happens to your body and heart.” no one told me that i still wouldn’t be able to do a sit up one month postpartum, that finding a part time babysitter would be so difficult, or that you’d be asked to literally lay on your one year old as they are getting a blood draw. guys . . . why didn’t y’all tell me. no but really, these are things us mommies need to know! while motherhood is something i will be always learning, loving my child will always come naturally and unconditionally.
