We are in a season of raging three and five year old temper tantrums (because Elmo doesn’t start with an L but it should, we still have to use the potty before nap time, and as much as they want it to, the very act of checking the weathercast doesn’t actually make the weather change, etc) mixed in with sweet declarations of I love you mama or my heart feels like love to you mama or sometimes my heart is mad and I don’t like you! But I still do. Most days are exhau...sting and some days I feel stretched in all directions but then at the end of the day, I am still scrolling through photos of my babies and thinking of all the ways I could handle things differently for a smoother tomorrow. Life with small kids. Right? . . . . . #thehappynow #thesincerestoryteller #holdthemoments #momentwide #aquietstyle #gardenlife #babiesdontkeep #thefountcollective See more

Looking for bees because she’s brave. But also a little scared because it’s ok mama, you can be scared and brave at the same time. #AletheiaJoy . . . .... #outdoorkids #outsideisfree #givebeesachance #howtobeawildflower #aquietstyle #seeksimplicity #gardenlife #mywild See more

I do miss having adequate sleep. But this little bean sure makes up for it with sweetness during the day. #donightnanniesexist #askingforafriend #fourmonths #SybilAmelia . . . .... . #babiesdontkeep #mywild #holdthemoments #momentwide #babiesinbloom See more

I dont think I ever tire of watching the kids colour and hearing about the intricate things they have drawn (I ask them to tell me about them because at this stage it all looks very...abstract). Also because colouring means they arent packing all their toys into bags and dumping them in piles in other rooms to have a picnic. A picnic in which there are never enough toys in the pile or bags to put them in to. #EverettandAletheia

So fun to be published :) Congrats to everyone involved!

I love that she has to insist she isnt "tired for a nap" before she falls asleep not five minutes later. And that she pretends to be sleeping when I come to get her so she can say "mom, you waked me up! I so sleepy" #AletheiaJoy

Shes already had her sweet boy, but I have yet to blog her maternity session. Next week. Maybe ;)

He let me have a lick and then I regretted not getting one for myself. But alas #selfcontrol

She was getting her little finger ready to "shush" him. Shell be doing that for the rest of her life ;)

Today he told me "Mama, I like you pretty a lot" <3

Would you believe me if I said there was a mama seal and two baby seals frolicking around them as I took this photo? It's true. Magic.

Going to be shooting this girls maternity portraits tonight, and I couldnt be more excited.

Motherhood sessions get me everytime <3

I blogged this stormy sooke engagement last night because these two get married in two weeks! So its about time... Krystle <3 http://www.katrinamassey.com/storm-watching-sooke-engageme/

Kids have so much unbridled joy in the simple things. I wish I could bottle some of it up - dont you!??

"Big big shadows" - Aletheia

Babies in bonnets holding babies

Happiest of Mothers Day to all you mamas out there! Your job is a tough one, and you are doing great

Drinking her bottle. Like a boss.

Not too much longer and these two will be out running in the sunshine together. And then I will flood your feed with my pictures from Italy if you care to see any I shared on Instagram, you can go here: www.instagram.com/katrinajmassey

Their teeny tiny bodies grow and round little bellies shrink so quickly. Which is why I never feel I need to apologize for being so crazy for them

We met early, 7:30am for their family shoot. I loved it. With the little one just waking up we made time for cuddles and coffee and breakfast. It was slow and intimate & beautiful. I would do more of these. Just saying

We Facetimed Everett from Italy today and Aletheia was so excited she did a happy dance and let out a squeal. I think she misses her little partner in crime

Happiest of Mother's Day to all you mama's out there! Your job is a tough one, and you are doing great

These two are some of the sweetest people I have had the pleasure of meeting

Currently missing this mischievous face. We left him with his grandparents and took a little trip to Italy. But I really do miss him.

Dancing with mama

Will share more of their engagement on the blog tomorrow <3

In the last light of the sun...

We may have lost a soother to the sea that day...

When golden hour is your bedtime...
