One of my favorite ways to document the passing of time is through small moments—everyday snapshots that might otherwise go unnoticed. These ‘from where I stood’ photos capture glimpses of my life this March, each one holding a story of its own.

Two Different Shoes – Honestly, I thought I’d be a more put together parent. We left the house in a hurry, and I didn’t notice until we were already out that my dude had confidently chosen two different shoes. I laughed for hours over this.

Our Trail Spot – This month has been a big one for the trail! Lots of awesome birds spotted and heard – barred owl and great horned owl being our favorites. These walks are a reset button, a breath of fresh air at the end of busy days.

Reading Break – I carved out time for a book in the midst of wedding weekend. Lounging with my legs stretched out, a novel in hand, and the afternoon light streaming in—one of my favorite ways to pause.

Wedding Weekend – The stone pathway, my dress flowing around my feet, and the excitement of celebrating love. I don’t get dressed up often, so this moment felt special—two evenings of joy, laughter, and friendship.

Travel Time – I love to travel and airplanes are so fun to me. There’s something about looking down and seeing my feet in a cramped airplane seat that makes travel feel real. It’s the in-between space—no longer where I was, not yet where I’m going.

The Pitcher – A tiny glove, a bright red ball, and being told my tosses are why he can’t make contact. Wait until he learns that this is the point.

Walking Challenge – Dark sidewalks, cool air, and the glow of streetlights. Started a StepBet with my workout group this month and I’m all in on hitting my goal. Each step is a small victory and the dogs aren’t complaining either!

Farmers Market Shadows – The sun casting long silhouettes as we walked through the market. A simple Saturday morning, full of fresh produce, friendly chatter, and the feeling of community.

Blooms in the Yard – it’s Finally Spring – Bright yellow against the lingering frost, the first daffodil of the season. A tiny promise that winter is behind us, and warmth is on its way.

These are the moments that made up my March. The big, the small, the in-between—all worth remembering.
