<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">yesterday, as I was watching it rain…again…I was reminded of the time we went to the beach!</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">It seems like it was FOREVER ago since it has rained nearly EVERY day since we returned!! I remember complaining a few times at the beach because the kids were up at the crack of dawn, or they were fighting or crying, and now I realize how silly that was to complain at all!</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">We were at the beach for Pete’s sake!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">We did have the best time while we were there. We took a 4 hour chartered fishing trip! The first 20 minutes were awesome, the next 3.5 hours were a nauseated purgatory, and the last 3 minutes getting off at the dock were pure bliss! Walker got to catch a King Mackerel which he still talks about almost every day! </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> </span></div>

This was the first year we have been to the beach that neither of the kids SCREAMED when a grain of sand touched their skin. They both LOVED the pool and did take a few trips to the ocean (slightly against their will)</div>

He started with a few words and the "L's" just keep growing. Tonight he called his sister "marLee" and it literally out a knot in my throat.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; text-align: -webkit-auto;">That's right, I have been so enjoying everyone else's blogs lately that I haven't even felt the need to update mine! Until I was looking over some treasures that I recently scored at a 'barn sale' and thought it might be worth a post.</span></div>

I dropped by a barn sale this Saturday and did a little digging. I was kid-free and had some extra time - just enough time to find a few little items. I pieced up 2 sweet crates (one completely full of old mason jar lids), a mirror (not pictured), a solid wood desk, an old scale, a giant mason jar, one child's chair, a scale, an old mounted notepad and a sugar tin. all for $30!! I couldn't believe it. And you know what's even crazier than that, I was going to throw away the old zinc and porcelain ball jar lids because I had no idea what to do with them, but instead i <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/171063778558?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649">listed them on ebay</a>…and they are selling. For a lot more than I paid for them. And that just sweetens the deal!</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica;">I used my giant mason jar for some homemade laundry detergent. Since I left my container at the farm this christmas, I have been a slacker using liquid detergent, and have really missed the homemade concoction. It's not my recipe but one that can be found all over the internet! </span><br />

I've also been booking some more photo sessions, that's been a lot of fun. I have 2 newborn sessions this weekend and a one-year birthday party coming up!

The kiddos are both sick you might have seen that on instagram. Something about summer colds and sinus infections. Walker is swimming like a little fish - I seriously can't believe that he's swimming. Marlee is more like a brick at swim lessons so we have discontinued those until a later date. That sweet girl loves the pool - on HER own terms! Mrs. Nan said she's "strong-willed", I haven't a clue where she gets it from ;)</div>

So that's my random post - there are 13,000 other thoughts on my mind but I've got pictures to edit. And YouTube videos to watch about picture editing, and one final swim lesson to attend...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When I lived in Locust Grove, I was looking for ways to get involved with other moms in the area. I googled the closest <a href="http://www.mops.org/">MOPS</a> group, filled out the contact form and within a few hours, someone contacted me back. Her name was Tate, she was super helpful, welcoming and made it very easy to come visit! Tate was the MOPS leader that year, and I also learned that she was a photographer. After getting to know her a little more, friending her on Facebook and seeing her AMAZING work, we scheduled a family photo session with her. Tate was so fun to work with, she was great with Walker and the pictures turned out better than I could have ever hoped. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always admired Tate for her faith, her grace and her work (<a href="http://www.takenbytate.com/index2.php">Taken by Tate</a>). I don't think she's ever <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Taken-by-Tate/156757341009919">posted a picture</a> that wasn't absolutely amazing! She is a bit of a "photographer idol" for me:) So when she asked me to assist her for a wedding I was SHOCKED! I could not believe that I might have the opportunity to see Tate work, learn from her and spend the day with her doing what she's passionate about! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had my typical nervous/anxiety dreams the night before, this time it was that we were supposed to perform a play at the wedding and I didn't know any of my lines! Who performs plays at weddings anyways!?!? Last time it was that I left my camera at home and had to shoot the entire wedding with my phone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't even planning on taking any photos, I was just prepared to soak it all in, carry the clipboard, gather people for pics and straighten the dress. I did get the chance to snap some pictures though! I posted a few of my favorites on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.181072585390406.1073741859.155872341243764&type=1&l=49d5cdceb1">facebook here</a>. if you "like" my facebook photography page you can see some of the other sessions I've done recently too!</div>

Melinda and Zach were so fun to work with. They were truly a precious couple in every way! When you see these pictures I have to tell you that the Bride made almost every detail that you see. I have never seen so much time and effort poured into a wedding, and it was all so very Christ-centered. I looked around thinking I had walked into a Pinterest showroom, it was that awesome!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you to each of you have supported me in so many ways so far. Through booking me, through a referral, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Michele-Zakeri-Photography/155872341243764">liking my photos</a> or through a simple text on a big day that reminds me that you're praying for me. You'll never know how much each affirmation means to me! </div>

Quick post on the Dacula Memorial Day Parade! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was SO much fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My blogless friend, Ashley, invited us to join them at the parade this year and I am so glad we did. The kids had a ball and it was a great day to remember all we have to be thankful for! These are some pics below to summarize the morning! After the parade we went for pizza and a swim. Can't beat that!</div>

See ya, goodbye!<br />
<br />
I have switched over to <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/">BlogLovin</a>' for my blog feed. They have an iPhone app that will take all the blogs you currently follow and feed them directly into your new account. I love using a blog feed because I don't have to type in each address of all my favorite blogs, they are automatically populated.<br />
<br />
Which by the way, if you're looking for some fun blogs to read, here are a few that I really enjoy:<br />

She takes lovely photos, LOVES her family and seems like such a sweet person. Her blog is wholesome and real. She offers a photography class called "SnapShop" which I would really like to participate in. They fill-up so fast I never make the registration in time.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://megduerksen.typepad.com/">Whatever</a><br />
Her blog is always bright and colorful. She hosts a <a href="http://megduerksen.typepad.com/craft/">Craft Weekend</a> once a month that seems like a blast. It costs a lot of money to go but I think it would be so much fun! From her photos it seems like they have the best time and always find great treasures while thrifting and antique shopping!<br />

This is my friend Lyndsey. Her blog is always full of helpful ideas. Everything from ways to save money, to craft ideas and delicious recipes.<br />
<br />
Do you have any favorite blogs? I'm always looking for a little online inspiration and would love for you to share.<br />
<br />
And just because no blog post can go without a photo...<br />
If you had heard the giggles and squeals from these 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed, it would have made your day!<br />

March was a fun month. Mainly because I turned 30;). We celebrated with family and food (of course) I got cash-money for my birthday to put towards a new camera lens that I have been wishing for! Here I am below using some of my table-waiting skills from the good old Robyn's Nest in college!</div>

We also celebrated the Iranian New Year. That was a full day outside in the great outdoors with my crazy children. Marlee finally gave up the good fight and took a nap while Walker just powered on through the day.</div>

I've been <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Michele-Zakeri-Photography/155872341243764?ref=hl">expanding my photography</a> hobby into more of a business which has been so much fun. It's amazing how many doors have opened in such a short time. I am still a huge critic of my pictures, I get nervous and a little giddy before each session BUT I am having a blast! I'm very thankful to have friends and family to cheer me on every step of the way! Here are a few favorites from the last couple of weeks.</div>

We have been picnicking while the weather has been so mild. It's so great being close to parks. The kids literally squeal and nearly hyperventilate every time we drive past the park.</div>

And lastly, I went on a little adventure with these gals last weekend. We did lots of shopping, eating and a little crafting. Being away for a night was a breath of fresh air!</div>

That covers the highlights. I think. If you have an instagram, you can <a href="http://instagram.com/michelez">follow me here</a>. I'm michelez. and I love instagram because it has nothing to do with fake farms, jewel games and other weird stuff. Just sweet pictures of people that I love. </div>

This Summer one of my best friends was due to deliver her first baby. I've known her for 10 years and we have grown so close over that time. I decided to ask her if she be interested in having me photograph her delivery. I know that can be a very personal and intimate time for Mom and Dad, but I have pictures of both of my children from delivery and those photos are absolutely priceless. Those tender moments before, during and after childbirth are hard to capture when you're the one in labor!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After giving it some thought she and her husband said they would let me take be there to take pictures. Now, we aren't talking national geographic pictures, just those that capture the tiny details of the day, those incredible mommy and daddy working together times, and the moment when that sweet miracle takes her first breath of air!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me just tell you that this was one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced! This Mama gave everything she had that afternoon and had a rock of a husband by her side for every push. She delivered an amazingly beautiful baby girl that weighed a little over 9 pounds! You go girl!</div>

10 years ago as a sophomore in <a href="http://www.northgeorgia.edu/">college</a>, I went through rush, didn't know a soul that I was rushing with and pledged a <a href="http://www.phimu.org/Home">sorority</a> that Spring. Little did I know that 2 months later I would be planning a beach trip with the same people that I hardly knew, and that 10 years later we would still be dear friends! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rachael and I met that Spring. I never imagined that we would go on a few beach trips together, take a school trip to London, share so many laughs, tears, see each other walk down the aisle, and start our own families. But here we are! I had the awesome opportunity to snap a few pictures of Rachael this weekend as she awaits the arrival of her first baby. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is truly a beautiful woman inside and out, and I know she will be an awesome mama! These pictures capture the joy and love that she already possesses for her little boy. It was so much fun to work with Rachael and Jay, they made taking pictures so easy - and eased my nerves for sure! If we are friends on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152179960059897.502094.505284896&type=1&l=99cd4a14a1">facebook</a>, then maybe you've already seen these, but if not, then enjoy!</div>

Do you ever buy fresh flowers? I actually don't. First because they don't typically sell them at Aldi and second because I just usually don't think about it. However, I do LOVE fresh flowers. My aunt Leslie almost always has some sort of arrangement in her kitchen and they are always so inviting and refreshing!<br />
<br />
My friend Brooke invited me to a Fresh Flower Arrangement class this week at <a href="http://jldesignsfloral.com/">JL Designs</a> in Monroe and it was so great! I always thought that you just bought the bouquet, found a vase that wouldn't tip over from the weight of the flowers then stick the flowers in the top. Well, was I ever wrong! Jeff taught us to create 2 different arrangements from the ground up. <br />
<br />
I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the flower shop, old brick walls, galvanized tables and flowers galore! Most of all it was so fun to spend time with one of my dearest friends just laughing, making fun of our own arrangements and sharing some much needed junk food after class was over!<br />
<br />
These are our starter flowers for the first arrangement. I seriously like these tables!<br />

What a great experience! Thankful that Brooke invited me, now I've got to find a way to get my hands on some more fresh flowers! <br />

Probably too much, but - I guess that's just something I need to work on. We ventured out to the park this weekend. Walker calls it the walking park because typically he has to sit in the stroller while I walk (haven't done that in a while - making one more thing that I need to work on!) So...as we were all unloading out of the car, I grabbed my phone, then decided to just stash it in the console instead. Tough decision right? I mean what would I do for an hour without instagram, facebook, google, email, imessage, and who knows what else that I might need to access from my phone (a call maybe)?? I had read <a href="http://jouneytojosie.blogspot.com/2013/02/technology-bugs-me.html">this post</a> from a mom in the MOPS group that I used to be a part of and after seeing the <a href="http://jouneytojosie.blogspot.com/2013/02/technology-bugs-me.html">picture she posted</a> of her family with all the technology photo bombers in the background, I can't help but think of how much I don't want that to be me. It really got me thinking.<br />
<br />
I grabbed my real camera instead and I will just say that it was like an hour of freedom. No distractions from seeing my family play, laugh, run, and just enjoy each other. I got to take pictures, interact and engage with my kids, run, throw the ball and frisbee, witness an old fashioned stick fight just take in something special. It seriously was so freeing. It really challenged me to do that more often because I realized what I am missing by always having my phone to lean on. And who would want to miss a few little adventures with this bunch:)<br />

My friend <a href="http://www.bennecyber.blogspot.com/">Donna</a> had 2 old quilt toppers that had always been in her family. They really held no monetary value but a TON of sentimental value. As she wrote about on<a href="http://bennecyber.blogspot.com/2013/02/family-heritage-preserved.html"> her blog</a> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #131c1f; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">I toted this pile to several people who declared it unable to be saved." </span></span></div>

Poor little quilt toppers. When I saw them I saw SO MUCH POTENTIAL! They were hand stitched, falling apart, faded and worn but they were SO beautiful. Nothing you could ever purchase, replace or make yourself. So initially, Donna wanted a table runner...just a table runner. OK - I can work with that! So a few months later here's what I re-purposed for her!</div>

It was SO exciting to be able to make so many fun things out of those quilt toppers. When all was said and done there were just a few little scrap squares leftover. I think Donna is going to have some hair bows made out of the rest (that's totally not my area). Check out<a href="http://bennecyber.blogspot.com/2013/02/family-heritage-preserved.html"> her blog post</a> to see how she put some of these little quilted items to use. I'm so thankful that she trusted me with this little project:) </div>

A week or so ago, Aaron whisked me away on a mini trip to St. Simons. I think he saw that this Mama was nearing her breaking point at home with 2 lovely children and just needed a little time away. (there I said it, I NEED to spend some time away from my children!) We left on a Thursday, made a pit stop for dinner in Savannah, stayed the night in St. Simons and headed back on Friday. Thank you Groupon for affording us this swell opportunity!</div>

Here are just a few photos from our little getaway. I realized as we were packing that I hadn't even brought out my camera the WHOLE month of January. What in the world, I blame it on reading some depressing articles about how newbie photographers are annoying and "ruining" the professional photography industry. I'm ridiculous, I know! </div>

We stayed at <a href="http://www.villageinnandpub.com/">The Village Inn & Pub</a>. It was so nice and quaint! Most of all, I loved our little room, it was nothing like a traditional hotel, but was warm and inviting. And best thing...there was NO alarm clock on Friday morning!</div>

We visited <a href="http://christchurchfrederica.org/">Christ Church Frederica</a>. Last time I was here I sat in the car with Marlee (5 weeks old). So it was nice to get out, walk around and take in some of the history that the church has to offer. </div>

We took a walk around the<a href="http://www.fhanamembers.com/stablesatfrederica/"> Stables of Frederica</a> as well. I have always loved being around horses and this barn was absolutely gorgeous. Next time I'd love to ride horses on the beach...HOW DREAMY! </div>

A relatively new tradition in my family is to spend a week at "the Farm" during Christmas and New Years. Several people have asked before, "what's the farm" Well, nothing grows there, there's no livestock, garden or well. There aren't any orchards, chickens or barns, but it's a place that we call The Farm!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's what the farm is to me, and I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Old house, dark wood paneling, lots of family, new and old friends, horses, 4-wheelers, go-carts, fort-building, tractor-riding, tree cutting, wood splitting, tree swinging, guitar playing, singing, board games, no internet, no TV, bunk beds, air mattresses, campers, bonfires, constant fire in the fireplace, food, food, sweet food, delicious food, and more food, finding 5 extra pounds that you weren't looking for, reading, laughing, a little drama, staying up late, getting up early, a little napping in between, cold showers, memories, memories and more memories. That's what the farm is to me. It's a place that my Papa loved to escape to with his family and I think he'd be so proud to see all the great memories we are making at The Farm!</div>

I'm so excited about this giveaway that I might enter myself to win! I followed <a href="http://www.lifeingraceblog.com/2012/11/12-days-of-handmade-christmas-day-1-large-zippered-make-up-bag/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+lifeingrace+%28lifeingrace%29">this tutorial</a> to make these cute little zippered bags. Now, these are hand-made, each have their own little imperfections. They are ALL supposed to be lined with iron-on vinyl, but in the sewing process, some iron-on vinyl might have lost the good fight...leaving a fabric-only lining! Either way, I think these little bags are just perfect for keeping in your car or purse, taking on a short weekend trip, you name it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm only giving away ONE bag this time. So pick which one is your favorite and enter to win!</div>

Most of these will be handmade items that I made from an online tutorial or something. <br />
<br />
The first giveaway will be a felt scarf. I have been following <a href="http://www.lifeingraceblog.com/">Edie's blog</a> for a while. She does a series each year called <a href="http://www.lifeingraceblog.com/2012/10/12-days-of-handmade-christmas-tutorials-2012/">12 Days of Handmade Christmas</a>. This <a href="http://www.lifeingraceblog.com/2012/11/12-days-of-handmade-christmas-tutorialsday-9-diy-felt-scarf/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+lifeingrace+%28lifeingrace%29">felt scarf</a> was a featured tutorial and I thought it was so fun and easy. <br />
<br />
So let the giving begin! Here's the scarf, and 2 interchangeable flowers to go along with it!<br />
<br />

I mean that literally, in every sense of the word brighter! Yesterday was not so bright. In a lot of ways. It was cold and dreary here, Walker gave me fits all day, I spent a good part of the afternoon in tears, thinking of jobs I could apply for, schools I could send Walker to, calculating ways I could just get away! If you've never been there, then don't judge me, just let me vent!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the end of the day I was exhausted, done, finished. The kids ate pb&j for dinner, and were bathed and in bed as early as I could manage. I plopped down on the bed, so discouraged, thinking "I just can't do this anymore". Enter a full night of rest, and a little morning devotion--"cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you" 1 Peter 5:7. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ALL of my anxieties. The ones that don't have any eternal value, the ones that are temporary, the ones that brought me to tears, all of them. I have read that verse over and over. Even memorized it with Walker 3 weeks ago. But today I read it and applied it. Was today perfect? No way! Was today brighter? Yes! I just needed a reminder from Him that He is my constant, my hope, my joy. These little people are out to "cut me down wis swords" and "poke me in da eye". But He is faithful every day! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So all that to say, today has been much brighter! We ran a few errands, met some friends for lunch and even got a little play time outside. No tears or fits today...but I know, the day ain't over, right?</div>

If I'm not the only one that has these days, I hope that 1 Peter 5:7 is a great reminder and encouragement to you, that you're not alone, He is there, always and forever. Hand your anxieties over and give Him the Glory. He does care for you!<br />

I had the awesome opportunity to have a little photo shoot with this family - of 13! 3 College friends - married 3 brothers and now have 7 kids! I was nervous - as this was my first family photo shoot, but when it was all said and done, I had a BLAST! These guys were all so wonderful to work with and the time really flew by. Since I consider all of them friends - they have to still like me even if they don't like the pictures--right?</div>

Getting all the kids together was so much fun. One of the moms brought these little chalkboards to mark the order that all the cousins were born. What a fun idea!</div>
